Getting there and parking
Denver Improv keeps free street parking outside its Northeast address, the surest hold on a seat across the week. The Thin Man and Larimer Lounge share free and paid street parking blocks apart in Capitol Hill and RiNO, where weekend turnover picks up after dark. Summit Music Hall adds paid garage parking beneath the all-ages room, useful when the 6:30 PM doors for Stephen Lynch draw the early crowd.
Plan your weekend
Book Denver Improv first for a seated hold, then follow the parking lines: free street spots at The Thin Man and Larimer Lounge, and paid garage bays at Summit Music Hall when the early doors for Stephen Lynch fill the block. ```
