Everyone loves a good laugh—even at the expense of some poor slob who's not very funny.  The Hollywood Improv has been letting some real saps take the stage, but it's all in the name of good fun. Without places like the Hollywood Improv, there would be a little less happiness in the world and probably more violence.  Drinks are not cheap but someone has to pay for the comedians.  They do feature top acts—just call for schedules or just pop in for potluck.  Mo' Betta' Mondays are the only days the Hollywood Improv requires patrons to be 21 or older, so those days have a more club-like feel, with no kids.  Break out the fake IDs or just wait until Tuesday when all ages are welcome.
