Such a fun show. We have gone repeatedly! Ever show is a new experience! You must participate!
If you like to laugh this place is for you. If you like shows, creativity, funny people, crying tears of joy, a good time with friends, or a unique way to enjoy San Diego, this place is for you. I've been to the evening show here probably 6 times now. You can go infinite times though because each show is unique. They take suggestions from the audience so if you like that sort of thing, come with your thinking cap on. They just might ask you what your favorite quote from a movie is and you just might completely forget on the spot and they'll pick someone else's quote because they remembered. True story. I've been with a full audience before and I've been to a show so small where I was related to most the audience - either way they do great job of hyping everyone up. I'm so confident you'll laugh that I can (definitely not) garuntee you'll get a refund if you don't. See you again soon NCT! - a fan
I attended my first show at NCT a couple weeks ago with a girlfriend and had the most wonderful time! I'd never been to an improv show before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away. The customer service was so great from the guy who took our tickets, who also acted as the concessions salesman, to all of the hilariously talented performers on stage, the experience overall was amazing! The show was totally family-appropriate (there is a more explicit late night show on the weekends I believe) and the whole audience was cracking up throughout the show. There's plenty of audience participation but nothing that would ever make you feel put on the spot like what can happen at stand up comedy shows. The environment is fun and fast-paced and you are sure to leave with a smile on your face. If you're looking for a great activity to do with family, friends, a partner or even solo, I absolutely recommend a show at NCT!
Seriously so funny. I love how every night the material, staff, and layout are different, so you can go back as many times as you want and never get bored. Super small audience, so there’s not a bad seat in the house. They use the audience for content, which make it interactive and exciting. They sell snacks and popcorn out front. Couldn’t recommend it more.
What a fun place to visit at a Friday or Saturday night. I really enjoyed my show. The people here are nice and friendly. The comedians are professional and funny. I love the atmosphere here. The 7:30pm show on Friday is very family friendly, which you can bring your kids to enjoy. But the one at 9:30 is unrated which is more for adults. I’ll give it a try the next time.
