What People Are Saying About Dad's Garage
Featured Review
Ryan Sims
Contributor
In Short With an impressive DIY team of hip and quick-on-the-draw improv comics, Dad’s Garage (think “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” after a few beers and without strict FCC guidelines) is a relentless laugh-factory in chic Inman Park. Tucked away just off N. Highland, the small shoebox theatre housed in a cinder block building is kept up, run by, and staffed by volunteers, eager to bring attention to the arts, especially improv comedy. Routinely performing shows for charity, Dad’s Garage also hospitably offers patrons mega-cheap mix-and-match premium beers in a bucket.
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Cash-deficient students should plan to visit on Thursdays or Sundays, when shows are half-off with valid ID.
- Know Before You Go:
- Before or after the show, take your date to Sotto Sotto for fancy Italian fare or Johnny's Pizza & Subs for cheaper grub. Both are within walking distance.
- The Extras:
- Want to be an improvisational actor? Take an eight-week class for $160. Garage volunteers get $5 off.

Great hilarity
by AmyBlavatz
I gotta say that this place kinda surprised me. I was invited by a friend to see a show here and really didn't expect much.
But boy was I wrong!
The show was awesome - I had a really good time.
It's a casual place - not stuffy at all, and there's a cool rapport between audience & actors on stage; really neat.

Poker Night at the White House
by Ablack
My friends and I went to Dad's Garage for my b'day after hearing such great things about it. The show was Poker Night at the White House and we figured it would have to be funny since this is a comedy club. It was horrible. If there was an intermission we would have left. We did not understand the humor in it whatsoever. It made little sense and just wasn't funny. Do not waste your $20. Go have a drink instead.

A healthy addiction.
by xenola
Hmm, Where do I begin? I first attended a show at Dad's in mid-2005. I've been there every week ever since. In addition to the quality shows and pure genius improv, the casual, comfortable atmosphere makes you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door. The people there are amazing -- both on and off-stage. The humor is creative and intelligent, with just the right amount of quirk. It's always a great time. There's nowhere else quite like it. Just be warned that you'll feel a strange gravitation to return as soon as possible.
- Pros: Price, People, High quality entertainment.
- Cons: Just don't leave valuables in your car.

good ice breaker
by strodhb
Sometimes the shows can be hit or miss, but I've still always enjoyed them. When I have a group of friends out for a night on the town, and none of them know each other, I start with Dad's Garage . . all the fun & laughter is a good icebreaker :-) I went last night & the price has gone up a little, that's a bummer, but if you have an Entertainment guide coupon book, you can find a buy one get one free coupon which will save you $15.
- Pros: funny & fun
- Cons: cost

The theatre itself is kind of run down and it serves cheap beer but the actors are hilarious and the audience participation is really funny. I definitely recommend it to anyone that loves improv. It's def a first date place as well!!
- Pros: funny actors, casual
