RISE Comedy, formerly known as Voodoo Comedy, is Denver's only full-time improv comedy bar and theater. Located in in the LoDo area, they offer around 40 shows a month. Founded by Stephen Wilder in 2011, RISE Comedy offers improv, sketch comedy, and writing classes along with some great drop ins sessions on Thursday. The theater has played a significant role in raising the profile of improvisation and comedy in Colorado and beyond, hosting nationally known acts and creating its own improv comedy curriculum. RISE Comedy has also been involved in promoting diversity and inclusion in the Colorado comedy scene and has donated substantially to nonprofit groups and disadvantaged communities. Despite facing challenges during the pandemic, the theater has persevered and continues to evolve under the management of Nick Armstrong and Josh Nicols, who became co-owners in 2019.
