view more less of this reviewWe had a great time! It was not crowded so we were pampered by the staff and the comedians were hilarious! We're definitely going back for more.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThis review has two parts:
1) Performance: The comedy line-up was good; all solid performers with a little bit of something for everyone. The headliner did not disappoint.2) Venue: If you're on a budget this is NOT the place to go. Beware that they have a two item minimum once you're in the theatre area, so even though the tickets are $10 or $14 dollars, you pay at least another $20 once you're inside the theatre. I understand they need to survive as a business but it was a little over the top (ex. if you order a drink at the bar, it doesn't count towards your two item minimum in the theatre).
Bottom line, the comedy acts ranged from B- to A. If you don't mind a pricey venue, you'll have a great time.
