The San Jose Improv brings the legendary Improv comedy brand to downtown San Jose, filling the historic Jose Theatre on South 2nd Street — a restored early-1900s vaudeville house — with national touring headliners week after week. Recent calendars have featured Donnell Rawlings, Maz Jobrani, Damon Wayans, Marlon Wayans, and Mo Amer. Shows are 21+ with a two-item minimum, and the room seats about 450 between the main floor and balcony.
