My wife and I have vacationed in Bar Harbor for the past 18 years and this year we discovered ImprovAcadia. Being a retired, older (65) couple, we were not sure what ImprovAcadia is and if it would be for us. Well we tried it and are we glad we did! It is absolutely laugh-out-loud funny... lots of belly laughs. The... more

There is not much nightlife in Bar Harbor aside from the bars and restaurants and this small little theatre in downtown provides relief for this. This place boasts 4 actors/comics that put on an hour and half show full of the funniest moments and most hilarious on the spot comedy improv you will see in this area! Make it a... more

My two teenagers (ages 14 and 16) and I went to the first evening show and we didn't stop laughing. We find we still continually repeat the jokes and laugh. The 1 1/2 hour show was constant comedy with loads of audience participation. I like that they don't do any insult comedy. The drinks and desserts were excellent. The staff... more

My boyfriend and I went to a Saturday night 8 pm show, and it was hilarious! The family friendly show was proof that comedy doesn't need to be really raunchy to be funny. The performers were great and did some types of skits that I had never seen before. We were able to get reservations around noon on the day... more

We were laughing for the rest of our vacation after attending the 8 o’clock show with our three children. This is definitely a must-see for any Bar Harbor tourist with a side-splitting 90 minute kid friendly improv comedy show that never gets tired. The five actors were all fantastically talented and hilarious. We went there after dinner in town and... more

We were looking for a fun night out for our family and ImprovAcadia far exceeded our expectations! These first-rate Second City Chicago trained actors had our entire family in stitches! We chose the 8pm family-friendly show, which turned out entertaining for our entire family! My husband and I agreed that we had never seen our 10-year old son laugh so... more

We were a little nervous going to a comedy show in a tourist town, as we have done that before (Outer Banks) and have not had good experiences. My best friend especially was reluctant to try it, as she has even seen terrible improv before. I had a great experience with improv in Chicago, and we had no other plans... more

We went with our 3 kids (9,11,12) in July 2008 to the family friendly 8pm show. After all the wonderful things we did on our trip, this was the one event that received the highest rating from all 5 of us. We were near tears laughing. We called ahead (that am) and they reserved for us a table in the... more

I've seen improv before and this was one of the best. The three performers incorporated so much of the audience's comments and experiences, including my own group of friends in a dream sequences. It was hilarious. more

I went several times during my trip to Bar Harbor, and enjoyed each performance. I had never seen live improv before, and was amazed at the fast pace, and even faster thinking going on! the bartender improvised some drinks for us, which was fun, and the show was laugh-out-loud funny. A good time was had by all! more
