Boca Black Box Center for the Arts (Boca Raton)
* Boca Black Box Center for the Arts.
The below-“article” originally appeared on 8/18/15. I just wanted to give you guys a quick update..
Last night, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats attended a “family & friends” event at Boca Black Box…I’m thinking that about 200 people “got” to experience this brand new theater in action.
The skinny- Boca Black Box has a small beer/wine bar- no food is served – 250 theater seats. Just between us, every seat-works (great sight-lines), terrific sound system/lighting system, large stage which is also equipped with a large “hidden” movie screen…
Last night’s event, headlined comedian-Sarge who killed for one solid hour! If you haven’t seen Sarge, go see the guy- he puts on a fabulous-hilarious show! You can checkout Sarge’s act/schedule at iamsarge.com.
Jeff Eats’ take…I loved the joint. Boca Black Box is going to develop a huge following- of people looking to see top-notch comedians and other artists in a closeup-intimate theater setting. Real simple formula at work here, you buy a ticket-you see the show, no drink minimums/no food minimums, no servers roaming the facility during the show, no drama!

Got something really good for you guys- Boca Black Box Center for the Arts located in Boca Raton.
Bet you a buck, that most of you guys never even heard of the joint…
Long story short, a day or so ago- Singer Productions one of South Florida’s premier entertainment production companies- opened a new “250 seat theater”- Boca Black Box Center for the Arts…
All Jeff Eats can tell you is- that you gotta checkout (bocablackbox.com) Boca Black Box’s initial- lineup of “acts”-no fooling around, some really top-shelf comedians and music acts- are booked!
From what I’m hearing- Boca Black Box’s state of the art sound/light systems, seating, separate wine-bar and seasoned management team- have the earmarks of an absolute homerun- so if you’re into live comedy/music “shows” you now know about South Florida’s newest player long before almost-anyone else!
Like I said a few seconds ago, the joint just-opened (soft opening)- so basically nobody even knows that Boca Black Box even exists…
Be smart, stay on top of this “situation” because when word gets around- Boca Black Box’s tickets- are gonna be a hot-commodity!
Jeff Eats hasn’t been “there” yet- down below are some of the shows that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna try and get to! Suffice it to say, I’ll update you guys on what’s-what once I’ve seen the joint in action for myself.

Jeff, this new joint is where the old Boca Comedy Club use to be. Sure do miss that joint.
Looks like a beautiful place was built. From the lineup here and on its website it looks like it is going to have some really nice shows.
Hadn’t heard about Boca Black Box until you mentioned it.
Thanks for the heads up.
Bobby Collins is terrific.
Going to see him at Boca Black Box.
It’s about time that Boca got something like this. It will save me long drives and parking nightmares. Really looking forward to seeing shows here.
Bobby Slaton November 7th!!! He’s one of the funnies people on the planet… Great find Jeff!! I truly hope that Boca Black Box makes it! Jeff, how about a Jeff Eats blog reader evening at this comedy spot??
