Absolutely a blast. It may be small and intimate, but it doesn't feel like it once they get started. The whole place has more energy than times square. It was fun for any age. The performers are hilarious and the improv comedy is better than anywhere I have ever seen! We took our 15 yr old, 11 yr old and,... more

Just brilliant. Booked it online in London on the basis of the Tripadvisor reviews and looked forward to it a little anxiously but it didn't disappoint. The cast are very personable and talented people doing what they enjoy most - which is ensuring the audience have a good time. I wanted to be pals with them. They all zoom around... more

Extremely funny and clever improv comedy based on audience suggestions, similar to "Whose Line Is It Anyway". Really nice people too - everyone - the cast and the staff. Very reaonably priced, especially for NYC. Been there 6 times, including three straight New Years Eve's, which features free food and champagne. Highly recommended for all ages! more

If you want a cheap night out, full of belly laughs, make sure to get to one of NCT's improv shows! The show is largely based on audience participation, which means no two shows are the same. Come prepared to join in and laugh until it hurts! Dress is casual. Theater is small which means all the seats are good,... more

This is a wonderful and affordable show for the entire family. Comedy improv is always fun and my kids had a blast participating in the show. This small and intimate theater is the best front row seat to true New York City talent. My 12 year old son even got kudos for his unique improv suggestions and couldn't stop talking... more

My son(age 25) and I were in NYC for a week and decided to try this since it was different from all the hustle and bustle from Times Square. We both enjoyed it. It was good, clean, funny entertainment, excellent for a family and the ticket price won't break your wallet. We would have liked to have stayed for the... more

We had sooo much fun! My 14 year old daughter loved it and wants to do it again. We'll definitely make this a regular thing to do. It's so affordable. We highly recommend it. more

The theatre is small but intimate, so you can see the players faces. The comedy is good, clean fun. Parts were like playing charades with professional charades players, only better. more

Just got back from our trip to New York City. We went to the National Comedy Theatre based on the reviews from tripadvisor. The interesting thing is that we have 4 children aged 23, 20 10 and 8 and yet all 4 had a great time. It's fast paced and fun. There was nothing that made us feel uncomfortable having... more
