**5 stars**

If you're looking for a night of laughter, the Funny Bone Comedy Restaurant in Albany at Crossgate Mall is the place to go! I recently had the pleasure of attending a show there, and I was blown away by the talent of the comedians and the overall experience.

The club itself is very inviting and comfortable, with plenty of seating and a great view of the stage. The service was excellent, and our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered drinks and food before the show, and everything was delicious and reasonably priced.

The show itself was fantastic! The lineup of comedians was top-notch, and each one had me laughing until my sides hurt. The headliner was especially funny, and he had the entire audience in stitches.

Overall, I had an amazing time at the Funny Bone Comedy Restaurant. It's the perfect place to go for a night of laughter and fun with friends. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great entertainment experience.

Here are a few specific things that I loved about the Funny Bone:

* The comedians were all very talented and funny.
* The club itself is very inviting and comfortable.
* The service was excellent.
* The food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced.

If you're looking for a great time, I highly recommend checking out the Funny Bone Comedy Restaurant in Albany at Crossgate Mall!

Comedian was great and the food was good. The service was also on par. The added gratuity while understandable is annoying.

We were there Saturday September 9 th the food was terrible. The french fries were grossly over cooked. The chicken was so dry when I tapped it on the table it made a eood sound. My boyfriend got food poisoning and has not left the bathroom in 24 hours.

I’ve been to numerous shows here and they do get some great comedians who always deliver. The service is typically not that good as they never have enough servers or kitchen staff (just ask the employees). I’m not a fan of sharing a table with strangers but it’s ok. The seating is tight and you’ll have to position yourself or your chair to see the stage.

My husband went and saw Ben Brainard. This was our first time there as well. We enjoyed ourselves, I only wish I had a little more room at the table.

Went to see Sal Vulcano and the show was great! The tables were sort of uncomfortable but if you can turn your chair it is fine. Sitting with strangers isn’t too bad, everyone was polite and friendly. The service however, was unfortunately, horrible. Ordered one drink before the openers were even on and did not get served until almost the end of the show and obviously past last call. My partner ordered a beer which is literally already in a bottle and ready to serve, so I’m unsure how it took an hour and a half. Would recommend this place as long as you don’t order anything LOL.

We saw Ismo, the Finnish comedian at the Funny Bone, who was really quite good. The sound was great, the performance was great.

Where the Funny Bone falls short is the space between our table and the next was really tight, so it was tough to turn all the way around to face the show comfortably.

The other reason they got 4* rather than a full 5 was that I ordered a double burger, medium rare. (which impressively is how it arrived), but the bun was entirely too soggy, which made for a really messy meal. Burger was delicious (a tad expensive) though!

Great small venue, the comedians were hilarious. The drinks were delicious. The food was just eh. Service was slow but as expected when serving several hundred people all at once.

I have been here a number of times and have yet to have a bad experience. (That's a lot of "haves" in one sentence.) Only once have I gotten food.

The spinach artichoke dip was really good. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and that was also pretty good. It wasn't anything to write home about, but it still hit the spot. For dessert I shared the Ultimate Brownie with my wife, who also got the Buffalo v Chicken Sandwich. I splurged and got two alcoholic beverages as well, which were also really good.

The prices of menu items were right on par with what you would expect to pay at any sit-down restaurant. The souvenir glass that came with the drink helped justify the price, although I wouldn't have minded paying a little less and not getting the glass.

The service I received was really quick and the server, whose name I completely forgot (sorry), was great! That said, my wife and I went into the place when doors first opened fully knowing what we were getting. I think we surprised the server when she came over asking about drinks as we just gave the entire order at once. Because of this, our food came out right away. Others, who funneled in later, seemed to be waiting a while before their orders came out; I feel that is to be expected when you have what amounts to be an entire restaurant ordering at once.

Overall, the comedy club itself is great. The wait staff have always been very nice and I have no complaints. I really can't comment on the comedians who come and go as, well, they come and go. Your mileage may vary with whoever is on.

For a venue that's in a mall, Funny Bone does a pretty good job! There are some really well known comics who we've had the pleasure of seeing here. Check out their calendar when you're looking for something to do!

Great venue good place very clean Great comedian tonight. People enjoyed their food we didn't have any. I will still give it a five-star rating however their wait staff either needs to be retrained they need to hire more or they need to do better time management but they will still get a five-star
