I was in a show for them and the owner did not pay what he said he would. Get paid up front if you do business with them. I saw a couple good acts here but the shows are super long and low quality.

A fun theater for comedy shows and plays. I'd eat somewhere first though, as they don't actually serve food.

The bartender interrupted the person to whom she was speaking to stare at me wordlessly, which I opted to interpret as a greeting and i wagered to lead with cordiality rather than (my usua) neutrality. "Hi." This proved fruitless as she was only very curt and unclear for the remainder of our short interaction. Not helpful, not welcoming. Especially disconcerting given the relaxed vibe throughout the comedy venue. And the sociablity or friendliness she had abruptly stopped showing to stare at me when i entered the room. I can tell by her limp and uncombed hair that she's going through it hard right now, and I do have a great deal of sympathy for that, however I cannot very well recommend this venue or experience very highly.

Great quirky comedy club so long as you aren't scared of clowns. They have kitchy, intimate theater that looks like the setting for a cheap horror movie. I've been to two improve shows there. One was almost empty on a weeknight, one was sold out. Both were fun with audience interaction and good energy from performers clearly having fun.
