Yelp.com Review - by Logan C.

4.0 of 5 stars. I had a lot of fun there. $10 for a night of shows. The first show was mediocre- a burlesque and stand up routine. I saw Water Brains improv for the second and they were fantastic. The venue can be...

Yelp.com Review - by Jamie F.

5.0 of 5 stars. Ok, I am a bit biased, as I was the first employee of The Westside Eclectic, served as the GM and Creative Director for 3 years, and still teach and perform there all the time. So maybe I am VERY...

I am currently taking the Level I improv class. My teacher, Dana, is awesome and inspirational. My classmates are a motley crew. Dana leads the way with her expertise and charm and we have so much fun learning...

Not worth the price. Not funny. All amateur student comedians.

Funny, my reviews here keep getting censored. Talk about a lack of transparency. It's not really a comedy club as it is more of social gathering for kids aged from 18-25... aspiring actors, comedians,...

Funny comedy at a low price in Santa Monica!

Me and some of my girlfriends stumbled upon this great little comedy theater in the alley a few months ago, and have been hooked ever since! The colorful chairs and brick wall and lights give it a fun feel,...

Performing, communicating, something new...

- Whatever your interest, a worthwhile and fun experience. Marc teaches Improv, it's obvious his craft is important to him and he knows how to teach it. What makes his class so valuable on many different...

Improv is fun and made me funnierer

Marc's a great improv instructor and helps peel away everyone's inhibitions about being silly. I enjoyed the level 1 course very much and hope to take another.

User review by jsfogdall

Marc's improv class is a blast and he's an excellent teacher. Sometimes improv (like real life) can be uncomfortable and he provides encouragement and new ideas all the way through. If you are thinking about...

terrific communication tool

Marc's Improv Boot Camp was a random assembly of people of diverse backgrounds and ages. From the beginning, he helped us create an atmosphere where the students were not afraid to take chances performing with...

A great experience

I took the improve class with little knowledge of what I was getting myself into, and it was one of the better decisions that I have made here in LA. It helped to open me up to new experiences and new ways to...

A Fun Non-Threatening Way to Learn to Communicate

As a complete novice, I arrived fearful of making a fool of myself. Marc immediately put the class at ease with group exercises that had us laughing from beginning to end. He has an extremely organized plan...

I wish all my friends could try this...

This was definitely worthwhile. For a few hours a week (for 6-8 weeks), you essentially have an "adult play group." We played games - improv exercises that built into hilarious "scenes" when everything...

This is an excellent activity for non-actors who are interested in improv comedy. The group is young and smart. Every week I look forward to the next class. The class activities are fun and fast paced so...
