Welcome to The Magnet Theater.

We do Improvisational Comedy. Do you? Would you like to?

Wanna take an improv class?

Come train with people who studied
under the legendary Del Close in Chicago.

Come perform on our stage.
Or just come by to see ordinary people do extraordinary shows.

Poke around our website.
If you have any questions, just call or email us.

Have fun. Meet people. Perform better, at work and in life.

Our space on 29th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue is open for shows Wednesday through Sundays.

Here's a map to help find us.
Or follow the searchlights.
Or look for the fireworks display when we get a homerun.

There's always something going on at the Magnet. See you there!

COMEDY BY THE NUMBERS
THE 169 SECRETS OF HUMOR AND POPULARITY

By Eric Hoffman & Gary Rudoren

Gary's new book is now on sale at Magnet Theater! What's it about?

As we all know, true creativity comes from simple formulas and the memorization of data. This new bible makes the secrets of comedy accessible, not only to those funny few among us, but also to those who might not have the ability or talent to be funny. One no longer need worry about originality - just find the right comedy number and apply as needed... and then you're on your way to POPULARITYVILLE!© Comedy By The Numbers is a NEARLY comprehensive list of all comedy characters, bits, scenarios, sketches, skits, shtick, and much more (We say “nearly” because we want to leave room for Volume 2).
