Comedy Club DC

I didn’t necessarily have the highest hopes for the comedy show, but I went in with an open mind. Unfortunately it was back to back cringe worthy comedians with quite similar material that really wasn’t all that funny. Maybe that’s a bit harsh, there may have been 2-3 comedians that were pretty decent.

There’s room for a lot of improvement with the decor… A LOT! The photos on Google seem very very outdated and doesn’t seem like the same venue.

Drinks wise, it was okay. But it was a bit gross when the person behind the bar used her hands to pick up the limes that were going in my drink.

As the other reviews mention - don’t get the VIP ticket. It makes no difference with the seating… And the gift is one free ticket for 2 to a future show … Cheeky!

Well, this was definitely a weird experience. Felt more like a place where amateur and first-time comedians try their material for the first time. Only some of the several comedians in the line-up were funny, and I even considered leaving in the middle of the show.

The sound was bad, too, we couldn’t hear some of the jokes as the audio was muffled. Definitely not worth your money.

THIS PLACE SUCKS. All the “comedians” need training on how to use a microphone and the sound tech needs some training as well.
The comedians may have been humorous if you had been able to understand what they were saying!

It’s funny going to the old Heaven and Hell dance spot for comedy these days! The place hasn’t changed — drinks are still terrible, it’s not the cleanest spot — but now they put up a stage and chairs for comedy. I went with an open mind but sorry to say these were not the best comics DC had to offer. I had a better time at a comedy pop-up at Origin Gallery on Mt. Pleasant street, walking distance from here. Giving 2 stars because it wasn’t horrible - we did laugh a little bit.

Even with the "Guaranteed Seating" ticket purchase, we still had to stand since all the seating was taken. The front row was empty but we weren't allowed to sit there.
Since my friend was pregnant, we couldnt stay because it was cramped, hot and we were stuck standing. The standing area didn't even give a good view of the stage, so we left without getting a refund.

I only give two stars because the staff was nice and approachable.

10$ ticket, horrible seating arrangement, 3 unfunny comedians BOMBING in a row, 1 funny one who got the crowd hyped then quickly kicked off for a guy who whispers, 16$ mojito in a dixy cup, I've had more fun and spent less money arranging homeless knife fights

It was not fun at all! It would have been a better show if most of the comics were funny and if the area was already renovated and ready for the public. I wish it was better we would have stayed

The comedy was OK - not the best show ever, but not the worst. But it was so friggin cold in the place. Everyone in the audience kept their winter coats on. Won't go back in the winter time.

The worst. The comedics were terrible and do NOT buy tickets online. They don't check at the door. It's a full on scam!

Paid for guaranteed seats and didn't get them, waited 2 hours for a refund which I'm still yet to receive.

I swung by this venue having bought tickets online. The tickets weren’t even checked and I think it was just walk in anyway which seemed kind of scummy. The host of the show was terrible, his jokes genuinely didn’t make any sense and I spent my prior week having a blast at some NY comedy clubs which were awesome.

The emcee found out we were Australian and the joke was we ride kangaroos instead of bikes. Yeah…honestly it was pretty embarrassing and childish if that’s all they can come up with here.

Some of the acts were okay, perhaps 1 or 2 out of 10. The emcee cut the last act off early who seemed to be the best of the lot and was starting to build rapport, but just when an act was getting good, the emcee would come yelling and scrambling onstage after flashing his phone’s light. At the end, they blasted music so loud, to the point it actually hurt our ears as we hadn’t even had the chance to start standing up yet and we’re right next to the speaker. I suspect it was a tactic to get the audience out of the room and head downstairs to the jazz rooms. And yes, referencing the reviews from a years ago talking about broken seats, unfortunately the seats still haven’t been fixed.

All up, super rough joint. Drinks were very average and all up, I wouldn’t recommend this even if it was free.
