Arcade Comedy Theater

By Stephanie Smoker

The Arcade Comedy Theater is the only non-profit comedy club in downtown Pittsburgh. Found on 943 Liberty Ave. It features several classic arcade games along with two stages and lounge areas to relax while you wait for the show to start. This brilliant comedy theater is perfect for people of all ages.

On their website, it states, “Our vision: Arcade Comedy Theater will inspire laughter for all through community-driven, innovative, high-quality comedy performance and education.” 

And they certainly deliver! I went to a show on Saturday, November 2, 2019, called level up stand up with my mother and boyfriend. I was entertained as soon as I entered the Arcade Comedy Theater building. Not only by the lovely comedians and wonderfully themed signs, but also by the classic arcade games found on every floor. I had a blast playing Mrs. Pac Man as I waited for the comedy room to open the rest of the night was full of good times and laughter.

The entire time I was there I felt welcomed and safe. I definitely plan on going again to see another comedy show and I highly recommend to anyone that needs to have a good time to spend some time at this theater. Tickets are as low as $7.00 per person! 

With specific shows that feature children, adults, and people of all ages. The comedy theater really includes everyone in the show. The shows promise to be entertaining with events like the Penny Arcade, Improv nights, and events every weekend!

Team members include Abby Fudor, Jason Clark, Beth Geatches, Mike Rubino, Robin Hitchcock. The board of directors includes Jay Evans, Val Shafer, Vicki Mayowski, Allie Chornick, Melissa Clark, Liz Labacz, and Christa Lerch.
