“Had a great time, the comedians were quite funny and even better after getting high during the intermission.” — Bradley Haggstrom, Google
“have only been here once, but the experience was incredible. great sound, the staff is really friendly (and competent!!), and the bathrooms aren't gendered (hooray for shorter lines!!). the upstairs balcony was so worth the extra $20 for the show i went to” — hailey, Google
