Just The Funny Theater & Training Center

Found this hidden gem on living social and I was completely amazed. Finding the location was a bit difficult, but once we were in we were treated by warm friendly faces. From the moment you walk into the room the laughter does not stop. This place was totally worth it and inexpensive. Next time we’re in Miami we’ll definitely stop by again. Did I mention the prices are great and if you book online we got free snacks.
This place is great for a date night or just something to do as a group. I definitely recommend this spot. Totally worth it and you will not be disappointed.

Just The Funny is an awesome place to go check out some awesome fun live comedy that will never be seen again I’ve taken classes and loved it, and now with a new bar area with beer, wine, and karaōke its even more fun!

If you’re looking for hilarious, original, off the wall comedy then JTF is the place for you. The constant rotation of cast members keeps things new and fresh. They’ve also just opened a stage/​lounge called The Spotlight with beer + wine for the hardcore partygoers.

Took improv classes here and it was awesome. The teachers are supportive and knowledgeable. If you’re ever wondering what to do on a Friday or Saturday night, you should come out for a show. You won’t be disappointed.

It was my first time seeing a comedy improve show. We watched North Coast: NYC they were unbelievably funny! The place was nice and cosy. Beware for people who don’t want to sit in the front get there a few minutes late to the show. They fill seats up in the front first. Also they have added and beer and wine bar which also doubles as a second stage. I encourage anyone who wants to see a comedy improv show to go here on a Friday or Saturday night. The $ 20:person price was definitely worth it.

We went for date night on a Friday night. It was a little empty but we had a great turn overall. Some parts dragged on but some were hilarious. I will give it another try. It is definitely something different than stand up which we were use to. Alcohol not food is not served. They said that alcohol might be coming soon.
Overall good night.

NPS = 9
You can’t knock a place that gives you tremendously good vibes and that provides an overall atmosphere of laughter!
I came here to watch a friend perform as she was just graduating from Sketch Comedy 2.0. Until recently, I did not know this place offered comedy classes. Pretty cool.
So apparently you can sign up for comedy classes and it takes up an average of 2.5 hours a week. Not too shabby if you want to be the next Who’s Line Is It Anyway star (wait…do they even still make that show?)
You can come in or a laugh, to cheer on a friend taking sketch comedy lessons, or take lessons yourself.
The tickets are pretty cheap and they have chips/​soda for purchase.
Pretty cool/​different place to go on a date and/​or just check out for kicks.

Just the funny is the best improv club in Miami. Period. The classes are well organized and will challenge the best of you. I have attended many of the shows and you have to know what show your coming to. If your expecting «whose line is it anyway» and you go to a longer harder show then you may be a little disappointed or confused or maybe your just an asshole. Anyway, it’s a good night out.
Finally, I can assure you that everything is made up. Friends, family, students do not shout out pre rehearsed suggestions.

I’m not a regular at comedy clubs but my friend bought me tickets… wow!!! This place is great! Now we have been twice. Both times we laughed for the entire show. These people are awesome! Will definitely go back many more times. Super affordable and very funny… what else can you ask for? Try it! It will make your night!

I think all of the glowing reviews were written by people who take classes here. My boyfriend warned me that improv is totally boring and not funny, but I convinced him to accompany me here one night. We put ourselves through 2 hours of torture– mind numbing dead air, obviously planted audience members who I think were paid to laugh and shout out pre determined suggestions to the actors, and the worst part is WE PAID FOR IT. It is more exciting to watch a ten dollar bill get flushed down a toilet. I didn’t know that I could cry tears of boredom until I went to «Just the Funny» which by the way is anything but funny. The most clever joke you’ll get out of your experience is the name of the theater.
I’m sure the actors and their classmates and their moms are having a great time during this event. However, if you took drama in 6^th grade, you get the picture. Please please please don’t waste a Friday night on the shows. The reviews here are definitely fake or posted by people who take classes. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Best improv show in town!

Great underground dig. So inexpensive and great service plus the show is great because it’s spomtaneous. I will be making this is a regular!

Best creative date idea ever. This is like finding real Chicago Improv in Miami. Hilarious entertainment, a great, fun cast and a cozy environment. There are no bad seats in this theater, and no two shows are ever the same. Recommend 100%.

Solid foundation, vacation destination and safe haven for me for the last seven years. This is the place… where it all BEGAN! #PlayWithoutFear

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I’ve been here! I loved this place! It’s really a great time!

I’m a native New Yorker so believe me I am a tough sell when it comes to theatre but especially when it comes to sketch comedy and improv; so it was with some trepidation that I went to JTF’s «Cheap Trills Musical Improv» show… well, I’m happy to announce that JTF’s stellar cast did NOT disappoint.
Creating musical sketches on the fly is difficult enough, but to mount entire productions based on audience participation is beyond daunting; JTF pulled it off with flying colors. My face still hurts from laughing for 2 hours straight!
Miami is greatly bereft of traditional theatre culture, creating a yawning void that most creative people living here can tell you is tough to deal with; JTF is a gem and a Godsend. I think I’ve found a new home.
Check out their website for future shows and upcoming classes if you feel inspired to do a little improv of your own!

This place is awesome! Really funny people performing to great crowds. The skits are very interactive w those attending. It’s a small price for the entrance fee, for a fabulous night w friends. Make sure to attend when the Society Circus Players are doing their thing… They are very funny! Go on a Sunday night to end tour weekend w a positive note!

So much fun. They don’t serve alcohol, but thats ok! You’ll be cracking up, even without the booze. It was a small theatre with comfortable seating. Its perfect for a date or with a group of friends. There was a little audience participation (only if you wanted to) and the comedians were truly funny. Would definitely return again. Also, pricing is very reasonable.

This is a fun place! I ended up joining their improv classes because I wanted to try what they do!

We had a great time! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place before!
We laughed so much, is a real good idea to go with friends or on a date.
Inexpensive ans just hailarious! We will be back!

This is true improv! Each show is totally different and totally hilarious. I would go every weekend if I could. The prices are really good. They have different shows that are more kid friendly which is nice.

Awesome show they put on! It’s very hard to make me laugh out loud, and the cast had me laugh from beginning to end! The cast is very interactive with the audience and go with the audiences’ flow. It’s a very fun, different thing to try for a Friday or Saturday night… Not to forget very cheap. Only $ 10 dollars for a show!
WILL BE GOING BACK!

As the name describes, this place is «just funny”– Miami Improv at its best.
I came here on a Friday, and the place was packed, but my husband I got good seats at the side. The crowd roared in laughter, and all activities they did were interactive and hilarious.
I am a tad bit shy, so when I was called to go onto stage (without raising my hand), I was a bit surprised. Paired against another audience member, I was supposed to use the hands and body of the cast member I was assigned to tell a story against another cast member. I was a bit nervous because I had trouble following the story, but nonetheless, it was very fun and allowed me to step out of my comfort zone.
Tickets are priced fairly at either $ 10 or $ 12, and it gives you the opportunity to relax, have a good time, and share a couple of laughs with the audience. You can clearly tell that everyone who works there enjoys what they do.
I will probably come here again if I am ever in the need of live entertainment, but please note that you may be called out from the audience to participate, even though you may be that introvert who is secretly hiding in the back.
And the adventure continues…

This place IS AWESOME, small theater but with excellent actors.
Very affordable including the snack bar.
At first I was afraid I was petrified…
I will survive and I did.
Don’t get me wrong I was a little hesitant coming here but I was totally wrong. This place is so worth your time, you won’t regret it. I came here yesterday with my boyfriend for a Valentine Show. It was great way to end our night instead of being in a crowded restaurant. Hilarious and a perfect place to bring your date or friend.
The best part was getting guests to participate throughout the show. My boyfriend and I happened to be one of them (as usual I was hesitant). Something I would not forget, Dominant vs Submissive. Sad I still lost, but it was okay since I still had fun. Anyway Michael & Johnny were my fave, they did the most absurd acting ever and it was hilarious. The bachelorette was a nice touch to those single ladies out there. Although it would’ve been better if the bachelors paraded/​gyrated around the woman while playing the love machine song hahaha.
The show was excellent and the actors were great. We enjoyed their improv. It was original and one of a kind. BEST NIGHT EVER! If I am around Miami again I will come back. I’m sure my boyfriend wouldn’t mind coming back again.

After reading such great reviews from such valued Unilocalers when the UYE was organized I knew we had to go. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely hostess who was very accommodating, gave us our tickets and told us to write down our favorite quote and word and put into some boxes. What fun, Hannah and I stood there trying to think quickly and jot down the first thing that came to our minds.
Shortly after the rest of our group arrived, we were told we could go in and be seated. The stage is small, the room was a small quaint comfy little theatre setting. Nice lighting, good music, it made you feel like you had the whole place just for your special group. Obviously there were other guest there but when we walked in we grabbed the perfect seats. Two front rows filled with Unilocalers.
The show began and the energy level was amazing. The performers were very active on the stage, speaking loudly so there was never a problem hearing anything. My belly and face still hurt from three straight hours of laughing. We stayed for the second show as well because it was that good.
Sometimes we get in a routine and do the same thing every weekend or month. This my friends was different, so much fun, and unique. What a perfect night of amazing entertainment. Great first date spot, couple’s, singles, or private corporate events or just a large group of friends.
They were so funny and at certain points they got the crowd involved by picking people and bringing them up on stage. Our famous Gina, JL, and I were up there at different times and it was nerve racking. Not knowing what they would do, it was just so much laughter and of course video recording. With Gina they did a skit of her daily life, it was hysterical to see how crazy busy she is with a family, kids, dog, work and Unilocal… I will not disclose when??? LOL
Then we all pointed at JL to play the «Love Machine» game. Blindfolded and three bachlorettes for him to choose from. I never laughed so hard watching the women come out. We are such great fellow Unilocalers that we helped to choose the perfect date for him. Needless to say, I believe he was in a pick up truck with a shotgun after the show. LMAO
The performers did so many different skits, all so entertaining. They even did a special skit for Maria, our very own CM. I can not remember the last time I laughed so hard and for so long. Laughing brings so much joy to your life and is so healthy. When the final show was over and we were leaving all of the performers were in the front readily available for any questions or comments. We told them how great they are and how very much we enjoyed it.
They offer classes for Improv and sketch, check their website. I am looking forward to taking many friends here and out of town guest. It is a fun evening out that is sure to please everyone! Many, many thanks to the impeccable service and entertainment.
And to a wonderful group of fellow Unilocalers, great having so many laughs together.
A special thank you to Carla L. for hosting this event, without her and Unilocal I would have never known about this treasured gem!
