Business Description from the Web

Dad's Garage focuses on audience-participation fare: Think "Whose Line is it Anyway?" as imagined by a group of hip Florida State grads. Improv junkies get their fixes three nights a week--amateurs try their hands on Thursday, while an ensemble cast takes over on Fridays and Saturdays. A full season of plays complements the madness: Past productions include the eventual Broadway hit "Cannibal!... more

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.

Atlanta's hippest spot for improv.

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... more

Improv comedy and offbeat plays make for a rising star in Atlanta's theater scene.

The Scene It's a great late-night hangout for bar-weary types on the hunt for something different. Dad's Garage inhabits a suitably cavernous space in a converted warehouse in Inman Park, where fringe-culture vultures and couples looking for an offbeat first date congregate to enjoy smart improvisational comedy and substantial, cutting-edge plays. The Experience Dad's... more

This is a great improv place close to the highlands and little five points downtown. I used to go every thursday. Bring your student id if you have one and save on ticket prices. It is a great place to tag someone along when you're first getting to know them....as in a date. I love this place.

Poker Night at the White House

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... more

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... more
