Our Clients
A Downtown
Orlando Stage Since 1991
If you like the show Whose Line is it Anyway?, you’ll love our improv shows. In fact, SAK was the starting place for the careers of Wayne Brady, as well as actors and producers for Saturday Night Live, and sitcoms such as Scrubs, The Office, and 30 Rock. The vibe in our 170-seat Downtown theater is friendly, retro and super fun.

Choose Your Show Time
Both Friday and Saturday nights offer two performance times. While each show has a different name, it only reflects a minor difference in the show’s competitive theming. Both options have the same vibe and feel, so pick the time that works best for you!
7:00 PM Show: Duel of Fools
Two teams of professional improvisers compete for your laughs with audience judges selected at the start of the show. The actors make up songs, scenes, and characters right in front of your eyes with the help of the audience's suggestions and participation. Appropriate for all ages.
9:00 PM Show: King of the Hill
A larger cast of our professional performers pair up in teams of two and use audience suggestions to create scenes, songs and characters on the spot. After each round, the audience decides which team wins and which team loses. The winning team stays for the next round while the losers form new teams to dethrone the Kings. If this show were a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is improv comedy?
It’s a type of comedy created on the spot using audience ideas. Scenes aren’t written beforehand, which means the show unfolds differently every time. If you've ever seen the show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, it's exactly like that!
Are the shows scripted?
Definitely not! Performers work from audience suggestions and game structures rather than written dialogue.
Do I have to participate?
Participation is optional. You can suggest ideas if you want, or just sit back and enjoy.
How long are the shows?
Most shows run about 90 minutes, making them easy to fit into dinner plans or a full evening downtown.
Are food and drinks available?
Movie-style concessions, including beer and wine, are available at the theater so you can grab something before and during the performance.
Is this appropriate for younger audiences?
The 7:00 PM Duel of Fools performance is appropriate for all ages, while the 9:00 PM King of the Hill show has some adult content and situations. We give the later performance a PG-13 content rating.
Where can I park?
Several parking garages and street options are available near the theater in downtown Orlando. Check our website for more details.
How early should I arrive?
Keep in mind that most seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before show time.
Do shows sell out?
Yes, it’s not unusual for performances to fill up. Purchasing tickets in advance guarantees a spot.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Tickets may be available at the door, but purchasing online ensures you won’t miss the fun.
