88 Keys

Address: 315 2nd Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Shrinking violets, beware: With two dueling piano players, a raucous atmosphere, and audience participation near 100%, 88 Keys is a great place to let loose. Musicians keep things boisterous with witty banter, good-natured ribbing, and familiar tunes that all seem to be crowd favorites. Get your courage up with tube...

Can Can

Address: 94 Pike St, Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA 98101

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

A relative newcomer to the Seattle scene, this high-energy venue provides a little bit of everything – cabaret-style performances, cocktails enlivened with freshly-squeezed fruit juices, and an ambitious menu of inventive appetizers and entrees. In-house dance troupe The Contábellas alternate waitressing duties with...

Century Ballroom

Address: 915 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98122

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Sit back and enjoy salsa and swing music and dancing performances, or join in the dancing yourself (after a brief lesson, of course); Century Ballroom affords the opportunity to do both. An extensive schedule of dance classes means you can cultivate your craft beforehand; alternatively, quick lessons are frequently...

Comedy Underground

Address: 222 S Main St, Seattle, WA 98103

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Set literally underground, Seattle's oldest comedy club may be short on atmosphere, but it's long on laughs. Headliners are often nationally or regionally known, and many big names graced the stage during their younger years, including Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres. Drinks are notoriously stiff, and a full menu...

Crêpe de Paris

Address: 1333 5th Ave, Rainier Square, Seattle, WA 98101

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Throughout the day, this restaurant serves French bistro cuisine and is known for its well-stuffed sweet and savory crepes.

Giggles Comedy Club

Address: 5220 Roosevelt Way, Seattle, WA 98105

Jet City

Address: 5510 University Way NE, University Theater, Seattle, WA 98105

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

One of the city's premiere venues for improv comedy, Jet City features a widely talented cast whose wit is as quick as its tongue, leading to numerous pithy quips made at the expense of unsuspecting audience members. The "average" show features six performers who utilize suggestions from the audience to improvise a...

Pampas Room

Address: 2505 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98121

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

This swanky nightspot is located under and owned by El Gaucho restaurant. The Pampas Room sports a live house band that draws a dance crowd with its jazz, swing, and Latin sounds.

Paramount Theatre

Address: 911 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Dating to the late 19th century, this venue has been restored to the glory it knew as a movie theater in the 1920s. These days, you can catch acts as diverse as Boyz II Men and David Bowie, and there's even the odd speaking engagement – Dr. Maya Angelou, for example, has made an appearance. Enjoy the sumptuous,...

Unexpected Productions Improv

Address: 1428 Post Alley, Pike Place Market Theater, Seattle, WA 98101

User rating: User Rating and Review ( Rate It! )

Truly an original, this improvisational comedy group was first to perform Theatresports, the trademarked format in which two improv groups "duel" each other for the audience's enjoyment. The result is a fast-paced, witty exchange that has the potential to leave you crying with laughter. Nationally acclaimed for the...
