We found this place by chance, and are so glad we did! The staff is so friendly and good natured, the drinks are VERY reasonably priced, and the show is non stop laughs. The performers are so creative and witty, and the various skits that they work with are TV worthy. We had a great time, and cant wait to go back to the late show with a big group of friends. The participation of the audience makes every show unique, so I can see us going back to this place on a regular basis now. A great way to spend an evening. We cant wait to go back! The only thing thing that bummed me out was that they dont serve food/snacks, but if you plan better than we did, you have plenty of time to eat before either of their two shows, or you can do like we did and go afterward (bonus being that there were far less crowds dining later in the evening).

Spend your money elsewhere. The comics here are not funny, crack jokes without context, and the space is very cramped. Terrible experience at the idiot box. Went to the idiot box with high hopes, have been to the comedy zone multiple times and have had a great time. Saw the no nonsense show on Fridays and it was the worst comedy show I have ever been to. The jokes were absolutely terrible, lacked transition, it was just downright sad. I could understand if the show was 5 bucks but it was $10 per person for my party of five. I wasted $50. I am sure the comics are funny people and their jokes could have been funny, but they lacked context. I could imagine the jokes being funny in a small group of friends during conversation, but not doing stand up.

The Idiot Box is a great place for comedy! They have stand-up, improv., sketch, and variety shows. They offer family friendly, clean improv. and shows for adult audiences. They showcase so many different styles of comedy throughout the week that there really is something for everyone! They have an open mic on Thursdays for new comics or people who want to work out material. Its a really welcoming, supportive environment. Their No Nonsense Friday night stand-up show is made up of local comics and touring comedians. Ive seen Sara Schaefer and Jerrod Carmichael (who is in "Neighbors") perform at that showcase. I love going there and regularly attend! I dont think I could recommend it enough.

Hands down the best venue for local comedy and improv shows in Greensboro. Monday nights feature roast battles between local Comics Thursday night is an open mic for comedy that starts at 8:30 with minutes beginning at 8 generally Friday nights feature comedy showcases at 8:30 and sometimes 10 open mics Following the show or improv jams. Every Saturday the idiot box hosts three improv shows at 4 (kid friendly/clean) 8:30 and 10, the improv shows get progressively more racy and raunchy throughout the night.

I went there with a friend for open mic night. Hit or miss with the comedians. Some were really funny and my friend and I actually had a good time. Then things got really uncomfortable when one of the local comedians (who started off hilarious) just went down a really dark path. He started talking about how he was sexually abused and raped as a child. Almost ruined everyones night to be honest. Still an experience I wont forget. Id recommend going at least once.

We tried this place with no expectations...Thought it would be a funny to watch local comedians and to some extent it was, however there were several times I found myself wondering what the heck the comedians were doing...I did look around to see if it was just me, however I saw several of the same puzzling looks. Overall, we a good time.

Steves Improv Classes are a must for anyone that does speaking and presentations on a regular basis. Take your skills to the next level. He teaches skills that you have not read or thought of to enhance your delivery. Sindy Martin

We LOVE the Idiot Box! It is a great place to go with friends or for a date night. Its different every time because it is audience based. This is a MUST DO in downtown Greensboro.

Ive been to one improv night there and it was a lot of fun. The players were very up beat and entertaining. Its a good small venue too.

Great stand up and improv comedy! Shows for families and more "R" rated stuff. Something for everyone.
