According to EriT below, he and his family really enjoyed the show:
“Saw family friendly show then stayed for the second. My boys and wife loved it. Really well-designed floor plan. No bad seats. Good comedians. Great staff. Only thing that kept it from 5 star was horrible beer selection. Blue moon and Heineken were the closest to craft brew. Not one ipa but every possible domestic beer. Nothing local. Food was surprisingly good for a comedy club. Wings were really good. Wife liked her salad and the burger was massive. Good prices for a club. They have drink specials that just sort of appear as the show goes on. Definitely check it out maybe the owner will get better beer. The waitress said she asked him to do so. No bad seats.”

JuliaD—”Great place, Awesome Comedians! Tonight was my first time at Comedy Cabana. The service was great. My server was Calie and she was very sweet and took our order as soon as we sat down. In between each comedian she checked on us to see if we needed anything else. The host of the show did an awesome job and each comedian leading up to the headliner was great, too. The headliner was hilarious and even brought my dad into one of his jokes. Too funny. I loved that at the end of the show each comedian was there to personally talk to you and take photos with. The headliner even said to add him on Facebook, which I did. For a Wednesday evening show, I was really happy to see such a big turnout. Overall, a really great time. I am from out of town, but when I come back to visit I will definitely stop here again.”
Seanjr1—”My face hurts from laughing so hard! I am local in Myrtle Beach. My family and I attend comedy cabana once every few months. This comedy club gets THE BEST TALENT. I don’t write many reviews…but felt compelled for this place because it is just exceeds expectations. I’ve seen so many shows so it’s hard to pick a favorite. But you don’t need to overthink this. There is a couple comics before the headliner and they ALL end up being fabulous. And bonus….the pizza is actually delicious.”
Carolina Improv Company Myrtle Beach, SC located at 10177 North Kings Highway, is the only improv comedy theater and training center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. According to their website, “If you’re looking for affordable things to do and entertainment in Myrtle Beach, Carolina Improv is the place for you! We continue to rank #1 on TripAdvisor for Nightlife Attractions and are suitable for all ages.”
At Carolina Improv, shows are similar to the TV show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. The shows are performed by local residents of Myrtle Beach (most of whom are not actually from here) and are ensemble style (a group of performers using their wit and creativity to act out various skits). Improv means the performance is unrehearsed and off-the-cuff, so at certain points in the show audience members are asked to shout out random things such as occupations, song titles, and other random topics that are used to create the scenario that will be acted out. The show is created through audience participation which is encouraged and sometimes essential for the show.
A variety of shows are offered at Carolina Improv Company offers, both family friendly and 18+. The difference between a family friendly show and an 18+ show is the use of sexual innuendo. For more information, go carolinaimprovcompany.com. According to the reviews below, the show will keep you laughing:
