Read moreWe attended Cafe Improv, on the 2nd floor, accessible via wide stairs or a large elevator. Lovely room, beautiful acoustics, friendly & helpful volunteers/staff, amazing performers, comfortable chairs, no strong fragrances. Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Art hanging on the walls was interesting. They kindly offered corn chips and water as refreshments. Parking is available on street (a few dollars), or in two nearby multi-level garages. Looking forward to the TV airing on Tuesday!...
