Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this reviewThe space was smaller than I imagined however we enjoyed the show and the area is a really cool area for dining, a little shopping and a meal.
star this review starred report as inappropriateDisappointed We hope this place takes off with the right Comedians in the future But the M.C was very bad And his jokes were not even close to being funny The 2 last comedians were funny . Will we go back mostly likely no . The owner was very nice and I pray this works out for him and that it becomes a hit .
star this review starred report as inappropriateThe Comedian and Magician were OK for the venue and the price. The manager and stafff were pleasant and accomodating. Although the tickets were discounted or free, the prices for the drinks, considering a two drink minimum were very high, comparable to NYC not Glenview. This cost applies whether you had a custom drink or a soft drink. Add tax and a steep gratiuity..... The minimum/drink cost will be deterrant for us to come to future perfomrances.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThe first 2 acts were average at best but the the magician was great! I kept wondering how did he do that? Just a word of warning, if you blink you might miss something. He did the tricks pretty fast but he definitely kept my interest. The only negative was the 2 drink minimum per person. We got a great deal for the tickets but ended up spending $70 for drinks. Yikes! $11 was the cheapest martini and I saw one for $14. The drinks were good but in my opinion over priced.

May 3-4: Peter Lipsey & Friends
Peter Lipsey lives in Wilmette, IL, a suburb just north of Chicago with his wife, three kids. Unlike other comedians, he has had many jobs in the 'real world' including being a licensed Realtor, before delving into the business of being funny. After receiving his Journalism degree from Drake University, Peter held many writing positions for radio stations, magazines and an advertising agency. It wasn't until he worked part-time as a bartender at a club that had 'open mic' competitions, that he decided to try standup. The first time he went on stage, Peter went 15 minutes over the time limit not knowing that the flashing red light meant get the #$%@# off the stage. With many years years under his belt, Peter knows his audience, which is intelligent, literate and sharp. His delivery comes right out of the old school: premise, setup and punch line. If you get it -- great. If not, too bad.

May 24-25: Patti Vasquez
Funny happens. And it always happens when comedian Patti Vasquez is around. You don’t have to take our word for it either. Lewis Black says, “Patti is simply marvelous.” Bill Maher called her, “The funniest woman in comedy since Carol Burnett.” For some reason being a mother of two with a “stay at home Dad” (which sounds so much better than “unemployed husband”) while living with her parents is a great motivator for Patti to just get out of the house. But Patti loves being a mom to her beautiful little boys. Griffin, who loves trains, Batman and talking as much as his mom, is the best big brother to Declan, who loves music, water and hugs. Declan also happens to have special needs, a part of Patti’s life that she isn’t afraid to talk about. She has begun sharing her story with humor and heart for groups such as the Iowa Department of Education, The Hope Network and Gilda’s Club.
