Arcade Comedy Theater

Description

Arcade Comedy Theater is downtown Pittsburgh's destination for all things comedy.

The non-profit theater, which opened in February of 2013, provides an interactive platform for players of all levels, both onstage and off, to experience various forms of theatrical comedy, from proven standards to offbeat styles.

It is located in the store front of a handsome, century-old building. The intimate 75-seat theater hosts stand-up comedians, improvisational artists, sketch shows, vaudevillian variety acts, comedic videos, live play readings and humorous performers of all types.

With a bring-your-own-beer (BYOB) alcohol policy and even a working pinball machine in the lobby, the Arcade provides a unique, fun, and affordable addition to the Pittsburgh Cultural District.

Hours of operation

Friday & Saturday, 7:00 p.m. to Midnight.
