Holiday Comedy show in Hollywood Studios?

[CJK]

I read that the Christmas Comedy Show in Hollywood Studios is at the Premiere theatre. Isn't that where the Frozen singalong is held?

Looks like the Comedy show will be held in the former American Idol theater.

This will be the third or forth year of doing it.

It features some of the cast from (the long-gone) Pleasure Island "Comedy Warehouse" improv troupe.

It's done for a very brief time (December 21, 2014 through until January 4, 2015)
to draw a lot of the very large holiday crowds at DHS into a theater.

Something to do besides standing in long lines for other attractions.

Robo,

Do you happen to know the times of the show last year?

We arrive at Disney in the afternoon of 1/4 and want to see this but I don't want to schedule my Fastpasses to conflict with it. We saw the show last year and it was a favorite with my kids.

Thanks!

“The Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special”: December 21-January 5

What says “holidays” better than laughter? At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, laughter will ring out thanks to a special family comedy show scheduled for a limited run at the Premiere Theater. From December 21 through January 5, “The Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special” will present the best of improvisational comedy as performers – including alumni from the Comedy Warehouse on Pleasure Island – take suggestions from Guests and add their own brand of humor, right on the spot. The performers hilariously reinvent holiday classics based on suggestions they solicit from the audience, including holiday songs, stories, poems and movie scenarios.

Show times (subject to change) are 12:45, 1:45, 3:00, 5:00, 6:00 & 7:00pm daily* (20 minute shows).

*Tuesday, December 31 show times: 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 & 11:00pm

We like the FP+ that we have now in HS and don't want to give one of them up; however, we want to see the Holiday Comedy. Will we need a FP+ ? If it's between sing-a-long FP+ and holiday comedy FP+ - both in the evening (we have ADR conflicts with early shows), which is the more critical FP+?

Very unlikley.

Very unlikley.

Very, very unlikely even during what is definitely the busiest time of the year. We went last year and arrived about 5 minutes (at most) prior to showtime and the theater wasn't even full. While I'd recommend arriving earlier (like 15 mins prior to showtime) to get a better seat, no FP+ or extensive wait is necessary. That said, the show was really enjoyable; I plan on returning this year!

Thanks for the info on the times, Robo! You even came through with the actual times for this season -- that will really help with my planning!

Where is the old American Idol theater? I can't find a map with it still listed.

We love this show! Happy to see that it's returning for the holiday season, and sorry we won't be able to attend!
