History

Established in 1977.

SAK got its start as a street troupe performing in Renaissance festivals. The next step was performing live improv shows at Disney’s Epcot Center. SAK moved into our first theater space on Church Street and started performing improv and sketch comedy shows for sold out crowds in Downtown Orlando. We are now located just down the street from that very first theater on Orange Ave and Pine St once again putting on live improv shows 5 nights a week. SAK University will help you improve your confidence and public speaking and help you learn to let go and have fun!

If your feeling like you haven’t done anything different in a while, check out Saks for the improvement they do!
I’ve been here over many years and have always had a great time. It’s different and it breaks up the same old same old.
They have a small concession area with plenty of snack and drink options.
They are also very reasonable with ticket prices and the theatre style location is decent as well and an upgrade from where they used to be.
As far as kids, unless it’s noted kid friendly night, I don’t think it good to bring them.
For parking you would need to find a near by garage and walk. The 55 West city parking is close and most convenient.

Had an awesome first time at Sak. Great value on everything from food to alcohol. Comedians are hilarious and make for an awesome date night out :)

1 year anniversary. Called ahead 2 days before for a reservation. Person who took reservation said no problems. Special day ruined. We show up at 7:20, 10 minutes before showtime and find out that our reservations are released and this is standard practice. Noone ever informed me of such. The smug loser at the counter did nothing to rectify the situation. Good idea, let in a bunch of cheap college degenerates instead of a couple who would probably spend a ton on liquor and food. Place is beat anyway and has gotten worse over time. Rest assured I will never return and inform everyone downtown not too as well. Bad service, especially on an anniversary, when a reservation is made in advance is completely unacceptable and poor business practice.

This place is great! All the actors/​actresses are so talented. The shows are so much fun and hilarious. I live in west palm beach and I made a trip to Orlando just to come back to sak!

Had great time. WE came in for the Def Leopard Concert — that canceled 5 min before the door open. Thank god for SAK — we sit through 2 shows back to back and it was better than any 80s band rock concert.

It was a really great time. I went with a couple of friends and got my fill of just the kind of comedy that I like.
The comedy here isn’t stand up or insult comedy. It’s all improv. So it’s really great if you tend to shy away from places where you may get made fun of. It’s not for the shy, though. The comedians act out improvised scenes often based on suggestions from the audience.
This is a wonderful place to go with a group or on a date. Just make sure they have a sense id

Got tickets online for a valentine’s date with my bf. The show was sold out and for a good reason. It was like being on Whose Line Is It Anyway. It was so much fun! They had audience participation, gave out candy and tickets, and had us laughing the whole show. They also had a deal where we could’ve stayed for the next show for only $ 5. We’re definitely coming back for future shows.

Love this place! I have come 4 different times and each for a different event or show. Tonight we had a private event for a conference and it was hilarious! I can’t even explain, but they had finance pros from across the nation almost crying in our seats. Well d

Went to a Friday 7:30 show for date night and had a blast! We laughed so much and decided to stay for the 9:30 show as well. Audience interaction was great and the comedy was clean and fun! Wine and beer served along with movie type snacks and also coffee! Easy parking on street or garage nearby. Price was reasonable as well to make it affordable.

I love the improv comedy of SAK and have my whole life.
My most recent visit was the first at their new location and the first in years, but my family would go once or twice a year when I was younger. This time I got to bring my wife for her first visit, so I was nervous whether the show would impress her. Thankfully she loved it as much as I did!
If you haven’t been, there’s not much to know. It’s improv comedy, so skits made up on the spot around themes, people, audience suggestions, etc… If you like comedy you’ll love it.
I didn’t realize they had so many different shows to choose from so check on what you’ll get before going. Fridays and Saturdays are their main shows, while other days might be student shows.
For parking, they tell you to use the cinema garage and get your ticket stamped for $ 4 parking if you don’t live downtown.

We went to Sak on a Groupon deal. It was a great place for a Friday night out. It was a date night for us. But others were celebrating birthdays or just going out with friends. The show we saw was duel of fools. It was 3 on 3 with audience judging. Sak is mostly improve commedy so they use the audience for inspiration. This make it hilarious! They start the show with an intro on how things work and throw out a bunch if tootsie rolls to the crowd. It was kinda cool. They have a small consession stand selling alcoholic beverages and snacks similar to a movie theater. The facility was very clean & did not have crowded seating. There is an intermission where you can get refreshments or take a photo with props to win a prize. They did feature an audience member who was celebrating a special event. I thought this was very cool. From reading about Sak while there they also offer classes to teach improve. I will defidently be going back to wither this show or try another. On a sidd note, they offer $ 4 parking in the movie theater garagw.

As a last minute activity while on a weekend away in Orlando, I decided to check out the last show of the night at Sak Comedy Lab in downtown Orlando. The show was called «King of the Hill».
The Sak Comedy Lab is located really centrally in downtown Orlando, close to Lake Eola and lots of restaurants and bars. We arrived about 45 minutes early, and used the Unilocal Check in discount for our tickets. They ended up being about $ 10 each! Theres a small bar/​concession area, so I relaxed on the comfy couch they have in the lobby and enjoyed a glass of chardonnay. The show started promptly at 9:30pm and was so hilarious! The improv group was super funny, listened to the audience’s suggestions, and overall it was a great way to get our night started.
Next time I’m in Orlando, I’ll for sure come back to the Sak Comedy Lab for another show! I can’t wait to see another one of their shows!

Look, I don’t just give out 5 stars. Sak is a special place.
After enjoying 6 shows over the last few years, I never leave disappointed. Their comedians are so funny. Especially their main ones who perform on the weekends.
I already love the art of improv comedy, but what I love most about this company is that they try to keep it clean for a lot of their shows. Dirty comedy is cheap. It’s too easy. They push their comedians to keep it clean and I’m positive it’s even funnier because of that.
If you’re looking for a good time, look no further. You will leave crying from laughter and your week/​weekend will be a lot brighter.
Make sure to get to the theatre 30 minutes before a weekend show. The seats fill up fast and you may end up with a bad view or angle if you’re not careful.
Fun fact: comedian Wayne Brady used to perform here before he hit it big.

This place was awesome! I’ve been to several improv style shows in South Florida, but the show that I experienced last night just felt more fun. I was genuinely laughing out loud for the majority of the show. Our party had the privilege of being part of the show due to the fact that we chose to purchase the «Slice of Life». Weeks in advance they gathered facts about the ‘birthday boy’ from his close friends which they would in turn use to create a skit on stage. It was a really fun experience and a great gift idea.
The cast members were all great and I can’t wait to go back!

I love SAK comedy lab!!! This is my «go-​to» place when I can’t figure out what to do for a date night/​friends night/​boredom/​etc.
It doesn’t matter what kind of mood I am in… when I come to SAK I leave HAPPY. The cast they have right now is AMAZING. The British guy (can’t remember his name) is my favorite and the girls are seriously hilarious as well. And who doesn’t like free tootsie rolls?
The prices are great and often run specials with groupon or living social so keep an eye out for those.
LOVE SAK!

My friend got tickets to the Sak Comedy Lab and invited me to go. I had always heard really great things about this place and am so glad that I went. There are two shows on Friday and Saturday nights. One is at 7:30pm (they throw tootsie rolls at this show!) and the second show is at 9:30pm. Apparently, if you go to the 7:30 show, you can pay $ 5 and see the 9:30 show. From what I have heard, the 9:30 show’s performances are more for adults.
I recommend getting their early because, even though the theater fits 100 – 150 people, it fills up really fast. However, wherever you sit, you will have a pretty good view of the stage. The audience seats are right next to each other, so plan on getting cozy to the people that you are sitting next to. The aisles to get up and down in the theater aren’t really that wide either.
The show itself is pretty hilarious. The emcee chooses 3 people in the audience to be judges and gives them number cards to rate the various acts throughout the show. For each act, they ask the audience for topics and then base the act around that. Every comedian did an awesome job and they are very quick and witty. About 45 minutes in, they take a quick break, and come back to do a final act. One of the performer’s family was there and it was her husband’s birthday. They brought him on stage and performed a very funny act on how they met, etc.
Overall, this was so much fun and I can’t wait to go back. It’s not too expensive and Florida residents get a discount (yay!) I have seen quite a few LivingSocial and Groupon deals for this place, so that’s a win.

I had such a blast here, and I don’t know how I’d never been before. Well. Ok. I guess I do know. I’ve never been a huge fan of improv (every improv show I’ve seen has been… UGH). So, I was very pleasantly surprised when they did an awesome job with the show I went to see!
I went with a large group, so we got a nifty group rate since we paid in advance (though, be aware they won’t take your company’s AMEX card), and we had reserved seating so we got to go in before the rest of the folks waiting. That was pretty cool!
There is a small beer & wine selection, as well as light snacks for purchase. Definitely an «after dinner» sort of thing.
They did such a good job performing, and I laughed my way through the whole show. The 4 star rating is because the chairs aren’t the world’s comfiest and it’d be nice if they had either a wider selection of beer & wine or added a small selection of spirits.
