It was well done. I would highly recommend the venue consider expanding the number of tix available thru this service — since in this case the audience was very small, comics need an audience, and they sell food anyways! I think it is limiting everyone to cap tix to 6 or so per show. Other than a small audience, the performers were much stronger than I expected - especially for a first night event of this series. I applaud the venue for trying live comedy and plan to return.

There were 4 comedians vying for a spot in the finals and they were all good. After their performance you got to vote on your favorite. 3 of the 4 were crack-up funny! We had a great time.
