Located in the heart of downtown, the San Jose Improv is housed within the historic Jose Theater. Built in 1904, this landmark is the oldest theater in San Jose and originally served as a premier venue for vaudeville acts. Today, the space blends its rich architectural history with the high-energy atmosphere of a modern comedy club. It stands as a cornerstone of the city’s entertainment scene, offering an intimate setting where fans can experience live performances up close in a room that has hosted more than a century of entertainment. The venue is a primary destination for premier stand-up, hosting a mix of A-list national headliners and emerging talent. Renowned comedians such as Dave Chappelle, David Spade, and Ali Wong have graced its stage, while stars like Arsenio Hall and Felipe Esparza have filmed comedy specials in the historic room. Whether catching a world-famous touring act or a rising star, the San Jose Improv provides a warm, professional environment dedicated to the craft of comedy.
