I bought my husband a $50 gift certificate for Father’s Day online. I have the receipt I printed out showing I paid through Pay Pal. Never heard anything else so I thought I could use the receipt for the show. When I tried to get tickets with my receipt online, it wouldn’t work. So I called and was told you couldn’t use the gift certificate online but I could just bring it to the desk. The gentleman at the desk refused to take my receipt and insisted he mailed me tickets, which never came in the mail. He was very unreasonable and rude. I had to pay another $50 since we had brought friends with us. What way is this to run a business!!! I won’t be back and will warn friends about this!!!

This was probably the worst comedy show I’ve been to lol the service was fine the food was fine. The comedy was just not funny at all. I think the people laughing were paid to be here cause it was so bad….

Horrible customer service! I attempted to purchase tickets for a show in July with a gift card but the website would not allow me to enter the gift card number. I spoke with the owner Dino who informed me they only allow you to bring the gift card into the club for reimbursement after purchasing tickets online with a credit card. I do not live locally and can't afford to charge my credit card and acrew several months of interest charges waiting for the July show. I was also told i could mail my gift card in but risk loosing it in the mail which im sure Dino would not feel accountable for. Dino claimed he looses money on shows where people use gift cards to purchase tickets and then they don't show up but in reality he has the money already from people buying the gift cards so he looses nothing. I asked him what he does with all the money he makes on gift card sales if he doesn't put it into an account for when tickets are purchased with gift cards. He told me it was none of my business. Def sounds like something illegal is going on with this club and that Dino is pocketing gift card monies for his persoanl gain, I will never spend another penny there! They have lost a loyal customer!
All I was asking was to use my gift card as one would at any other establishment in the world. No where else requires you to purchase something with a credit card to be reimbursed the day of the event with cash. Sketchy to say the least.
I have also added a photo of the gift card Dino issued to me proving a phone reservation is acceptable but yet he refuses to honor this.

The Comedians are great! Very funny. Staff are pleasant. Food - well, not so good. It's a BYOB which is always plus when going out with a lot of people.

If you want to relax and enjoy yourself, this is one of the places where you can have a good time. My husband and I signed up via Groupon for a better price on door tickets. When we went, it was still frigid out and no one else showed up. The owner was very nice and allowed us to come back two weeks later as they only have shows Wednesday through Saturday.
Comedians were good. Atmosphere was relaxing. Please note that it is BYOB and there is a $15 minimum purchase on appetizers/desserts along with the door tickets. Would definitely go back again.

My family and I were there for the dinner and a show package. My dinner was average (shrimp scampi) and I had no complaints. However, the rest of my table (10 of us) had a lot to say. Their food, ranging from chicken parm to penne vodka (tasted yummy to me) to the stuffed pork came out very cold. Almost as if it had been sitting out for a long time perhaps under a heat lamp. Wings and dessert and were delicious, however. Get the buffalo wings.
Service was fantastic! Servers were there before you needed to call them over.
As for the show..... the opening act was Timmy. He was great! Extremely funny. He had you rolling on the floor well before the opening act came on! That's a great way to start a comedy show.
Then came on the opener...Justin Silver. At first, he came off a bit abrasive... very loud into the microphone. But this guy had it. He was hysterical. He had the audience eating out of his hands. Great time had by all!!
I did notice some reviews mentioned you were packed like sardines. I did not feel like that. Yes, the place is small however I thought they did a great job of keeping everyone comfortable.
I would definitely go here again and recommend to others. Just would eat somewhere else beforehand.

You are packed in the place like sardines. There is no nearby parking. The shows were good but the food was bad. My chicken parm had no cheese that I could find and my wifes red snapper dinner was cold.

Saw Vic Dibitetto over the weekend. His show was fantastic along with the opening act.
The place was a little cramped but that`s what you can expect at a comedy club with a headline act.
The show was a dinner show so you paid for dinner along with the show. waitress was very pleasant and attentive. The dinner was terrible except for the desert. It was a BYOB place.
