My wife and I wanted to try out improv acadia as we always visit second city in Chicago when we go. We were pleased to find out that the comedians at improv acadia actually work for second city in the off season, which would explain why they are so awesome. We called our reservation in about 3 hours ahead of... More

Our vacation wound up including a good bit of improv, a type of theater that was new for us. We was several performances in Portland which were good enou for us to consider taking in Improv Acadia while on MDI. We saw the 8p showing on the second night on the island. The performance was soooo entertaining that we went... More

My wife and I are retired and vacation in Bar Harbor in the early summer and fall. We discovered ImprovAcadia 5 years ago and liked it so much we go to their shows a few times a week during each of our visits. This is a real comedy jewel! Each show is different and all are very funny. The actors... More

I'll start by saying my wife and I love comedy, but for the most part, often find improv somewhat lacking unless being done by really good comedian/actors (like some of the people that were on the old Drew Carey improv show). So going into this with lower expectations, it was about what we expected. The show ran around 80 minutes... More

Do your best to see this improv review, featuring highly trained comedians from Chicago's Second City group. It's a riot.

This place is fantastic. The show was original, hilarious and interactive. The beer selection is great, iced coffee is great and the setting intimiate. 16 dollars is a bargain for this kind of entertainment.

We first saw ImprovAcadia last summer with our 12 and 8 year old kids, and loved it. This year we brought many additional members of our extended family, and I think all in all, it was a big hit. The show was very similar in terms of the types of sketches they do, but the beauty of improv is that... More

This is a very professional show, with comfortable caberet style seating. U can order a drink. Kids are very welcome at first show. I saw kids as young as 7 there thru college age plus adults and everyone seemed to enjoy it. There is a lot of audience participation which kids really like. Great way to share laughs with entire...

It cost $16.00 per person and was not very funny. I expected more for my money. The snacks a spinage dip, wine and a soda cost $20 w/tip. Also beware the ginger ale is made from ginger and spices..it has an different taste and an after burn on your throat. The night cost us $52.00 which was not worth it.... More
