Irvine Spectrum’s “Hello, Summer” rooftop drive-in movie program was a big hit among Irvine families over the summer. Now, the Spectrum is continuing the fun with drive-in comedy shows through October.

In an Instagram post, Irvine Improv gave social media a glimpse of what rooftop comedy shows look like in 2020.

This past weekend at the Improv ✨ Real rockstar vibes with one of our favorite Improv all-stars @mrcraigrobinson 🔥

Located on the rooftop of the Regal Parking Deck, the Irvine Improv Comedy Club is hosting top-notch comedians in a drive-in style set-up. Guests can park, tune into the Improv audio through their car stereo, and watch the action via a 50-foot projection screen.

With notable drive-in comedy performances from legendary actor and comedian Craig Robinson (The Office, Pineapple Express) and Actor and TV Host Joel McHale — who will be performing on Sept. 26 — some of the biggest names in comedy will be performing under the stars in Irvine through Oct. 3.

As Orange County moved into the Red Tier of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, movie theaters were given approval to return to indoor operations at a 25 percent maximum capacity or 100 people — whichever is less.

However, nightclubs still remain closed under the state’s tiered system for COVID-19 monitoring. However, it is unclear if nightclubs will receive approval to reopen when Orange County is able to move into the Orange category.
