Yelp.com Review - by Blythe K.

2 of 5 stars. Came here to see Lizz Winstead, who we hadn't heard of before but was apparently co-creator and head writer for The Daily Show. My husband and I thought she was hilarious, but the crowd was…

5 of 5 stars. I have been to hundreds of comedy clubs, as that is part of my job. Most of these clubs are faceless, heartless rooms owned by corporations that dont care about comedy, just the money that fills their…

Thugs, dishonest policies

What kind of business charges you a hefty cover, then REQUIRES you to purchase at least two drinks? It's a rip off. To satisfy my requirement, I ordered chicken strips, which count as a drink, and a coke. I...

The service here doesn't just stop at rude. This was the strangest, scariest night of my life. I didn't know that you are not allowed to leave the club during the show. I was feeling chlosterphobic in that...

Horrible Club ALL AROUND!!! READ THIS!!

First of all, word on the street is that the comedians themselves are ripped off because their pay is based on the number of patrons (paid for 270 seats, when the real number is more like 350 seats)! tsk tsk....

A bunch of us went to Comedy Works last week...there was a contest and there were like 15 headliners doing short sets, and three won and they will go on to a larger thing. Anyway, it was amazing. They were all...

Tight Room, Great Comedy

Y'know how giddy you used to get on the school bus. Something about the tight nervous energy made the ride a blast. Add a couple beers and...bingo! Best time ever. The talent is great and the space is worth...

3 of 5 stars. There's a good reason that so many big-time comics cite Comedy Works as one of their favorite places to play. It's set up nicely and brings in top-notch talent. I've got no complaints about that. My…

Tip: Read all of the reviews!

Congratulations to all of the staff who floaded their reviews on this site thus pushing the real patrons to the end of the list. You will be well served to wade through all of the reviews.

The ticket process is a joke!

The staff here is so incredibly rude that it makes it very hard to have a good time once you actually make it in the door.
