Can't think of anything to do on a Saturday night in the 9th largest city in the United States? Definitely check this place out. Very small and more of an intimate setting. The comics kept us well entertained--although there were a few strange ones--but overall the money was well spent. Drinks are good and strong and the karaoke after the show is quite the time if you're not ready to go home just yet. It gives you an opportunity to meet and mingle with the comedians which is cool in my book! You could be hanging out with the next Dave Chappell or Bill Burr! Ya never know. No frills, no need to bring out Sunday's best...jeans and a t shirt...youll be a ok. Just come ready to laugh! read more

My fiancé and I attended this comedy club last night and we had a great time! The host was fantastic and the comedians were hilarious! I was also impressed by the diversity in the comedians and the variety of their acts. As for the venue it is small but it makes it more of an intimate setting. And the service was nice, our waiter was kind & made sure to come by before/ during the show to get us drinks. Just be aware the tables are pretty tiny. I watched a couple order 3 food items & they were struggling to fit it all on the table haha Overall this comedy club exceeded my expectations, the comedians were phenomenal, and I had an awesome time! Definitely coming back & I encourage others to check it out! read more

$12 cash or pay $14 with CC per person. 2 drink minimum pp as well. Plenty of parking but the room inside isn't huge so get there 30-20 mins before show time as it gets packed really quickly! I loved the variety of comedians from all types of backgrounds they had. We had our MC and he's Indian, we had whites and blacks and even an asian talking about the asian flush they all were in their own way relatable and how we laughed so hard for two hours! I also loved the solid mix of women and men tearing it up! Really solid show tonight and definitely worth the $12 we paid! Even with the two drinks, it was so reasonable! You cant get a deal like this these days! Definitely go and enjoy yourselves!!!! I haven't laughed like this in so long! Thumbs up! Honestly, their prices are so reasonable for the amount of laughs you get and you get your choices of drinks or food with it too. I don't see how anyone can complain a our prices. They are giving us a bargain if you ask me! read more

We had so much fun and the comedians were amazing! The food is better than most bars and the service was exceptional. We can't wait to come back every Thursday. read more

My bf and I had the best time here tonight! The show was 2 hours and $30 for both of us including taxes. There is a 2 item min which wasn't something we were bothered by. I think there were 10 or more different comedians that all took 5 or so min. I enjoyed every comedian (some more than others) but with them having such a short amount of stage time, it was easy to enjoy everyone even if they went the best. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing little club had a great time would recommend to anyone that can enjoy a small venue service was very good for food and drink the comedians were for the most not bad. Purchase tickets online and arrive at least 20 minutes before the show read more

This is an extremely small comedy venue that is inside the double tree hotel. A friend of mine invited me here, and I like comedy clubs. The set up is different though. They have several comedians that peform, but their set is only like 5 minutes. Some where hilarious and some were not so funny. So, it's probably a good thing that their sets weren't as long. As for the seating area, they cramp you in there! I was playing musical chairs because I couldn't get comfortable. If you go hungry, do not expect anything great, the food was below average in my opinion. A friend of mine ordered queso, it was NASTY! Other than that, it's a cool spot to go to if you want to laugh. It's $14 to get in. read more

We had a great time here. Several comedians in about an hour and a half and they were all great. Drink prices were very reasonable and service was great. read more

My girlfriend and I attended there Saturday night show. This was our first ever comedy club experience, and it couldn't have gone any better! They had 10+ comedians who were about mins plus. All of the performers were great and made us and the crowd laugh. One of comedians made me laugh to the point I was even crying. The food was alright, not bad but not crazy good, just perfect for a bar. The service was great as well. One thing I would recommend is maybe an intermission/break for a few minutes to eat/chat/go to the bathroom... all in all I highly recommend this place to locals and those visiting the area! read more

The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, the comedians were hilarious, but what made our night even better was the friendly atmosphere and staff. I Spoke to Bart on the phone about a week prior, in order to reserve a decent seat, and Bart was very professional and helpful. All together it was an awesome show guys!!! read more

Tucked away inside of the DoubleTree, right next to their bar, this is a nice little comedy club if you want to try something different. I've only been to improv in Addison, but I enjoyed my time here. Normally, the cost per person is $14. However, on Thursdays, they have open mic night, which is $7/person.One of my friends decided he would give stand-up comedy a try, so a group of us came here to watch him perform. The place is a little small, so there's not a bad seat in the house. Since it was open mic night, some of the performers were funny, and some were a miss, but overall, I thought the performers did well. My only criticism of the place would be the temperature. Since it's summer, I was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, but inside the club, the place was freezing. I'm talking about below 60 degrees. I was told that they did not have much control over the temperature. Aside from the frigid atmosphere, I think this place is worth giving a shot. Just remember you may need to bring a jacket. read more

Several Friday's ago we celebrated a friend's birthday here. It was about $14 to get in. The Comedy Club is located inside the Double Tree Hotel. Come in and go to the right. There's a bar that you can order drinks from, but there are also waiters that you can order from once you are seated. They serve food too, although we had already eaten so I can not comment on what they had or if it was any good. I absolutely loved the mix of comedians. We probably saw about 10 that night. Some were funnier than others, obviously. Overall it was a good time and my face hurt from laughing so much. read more

It might be worth it if you buy tickets off of Groupon but otherwise I wouldn't waste my time again. For $14 per person PLUS a two item minimum PER person. You're well off spending over $50. Most comedy clubs in LA will only have a one drink minimum. And to top it off the acts weren't that funny. We went in a Friday and some of their material was decent at best but overall it was a small crowd and small laughs. read more

My boyfriend & I went to Backdoor Comedy on a Friday night. It takes a lot to make my boyfriend laugh but not so much for myself. However, I figured why not, also adding neither one of us is from Texas & wanted to experience something new. Backdoor is located in a very small conference room in a popular hotel. It is live stand up comedy for new comedians, therefore this place would be a hit & miss on good comedians. I think we saw about 8-10 comedians & maybe 4-5 of them were actually really funny. Would I visit Backdoor again? Yes! I would consider Backdoor a good date night option. read more

We went with a couple of friends on a Saturday night and it was a great time the comedians were really funny The next day my stomach muscles were sore from laughing, So with a two person minimum and the charge for the tickets to get in ,when it was all said and done it was a $100 night, But I would definitely do it again. read more

Small. Maybe had 15 people in the audience. Most comedians were not funny. Only one really good one. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

This is the smallest comedy club I have ever been in. They have about 10 comedians coming in to tell jokes. Some are good, some are decent. I think it is the luck of the draw on who you get that night. I think it seems to be mostly comedians who are trying to get out there. There is a two item minimum. I didn't know that. There wasn't much on the menu. read more

For the comedy alone, I would give it five stars. The performers were all genuinely funny, talented and professional. I've been to a few really high profile comedy clubs and I was worried that I wouldn't find it funny or that some of the performers would be amateurish, but that was not the case at all. Everyone in the crowd was laughing throughout. I only took off one star for the venue. I almost wanted to turn around upon arriving (though I'm really glad I didn't!). First, it's in a DoubleTree hotel, and it definitely looks like it, down to the 'hotel conference room' style chairs and tables. Second, someone here mentioned that it was cold, so I brought a sweater. Cold is an understatement - I was freezing even with a sweater. We mentioned it to the staff and they responded right away that they have no control over the temperature since it's controlled by the hotel, and offered a tablecloth to wrap around myself (other patrons already had wrapped themselves in tablecloths), so it's clear this is a recurring issue. Go, but bundle up! read more

We had so much fun seeing Paul Varghese!! Staff was great and will totally go back again to see other shows!!

I love this comedy club. They are a very diverse group of comics with something funny for everyone. The food and drinks are great and the comedians are outstanding. A great date night on a Friday or Saturday evening! read more

My wife and I wanted to go to a comedy show last night and given that it was a last minute decision we figured the Addison Improv would be the wrong place to go. So we decided to try something new. I googled for Dallas Comedy and found Backdoor Comedy. I called to find out more information and was shocked to be speaking directly with one of the co-founders on the phone - Jan Norton. Jan was very helpful and the way she explained everything, I was sold. I booked the two of us and then an hour later we were at the show. The tickets are $12 cash or $14 on credit card. They do have a 2 items per person ordering rule where you have to order either food, drinks, etc. That's pretty typical of these places, but they are not very strict about it which is nice. And their food prices are very low and portions are large. The chips and salsa is only 3-4 bucks and the Salsa is Spicilicous :) We didn't order the Chicken Quesadillas since we ate prior to going there, but they are quite large as well and can be shared by 2 people. Expect it to be a packed house with a very small and intimate setting of about 35-50 people in a small room. We were in the company of a bachelor party and a bachelorette party and we enjoyed watching them being picked on. When you arrive, you are taken to your table by the hostess. She sometimes will ask you for your preference of seating and sometimes she will just chose your place, but you can ask her for a different spot without fear if you don't like the spot she chose. The room is pretty small so it really doesn't make a big difference. As to the comedy show itself, I thought it was great. I really didn't expect so many comedians to appear one after another. I thought it would never end which was great. Linda, another co-founder, was probably the best in my opinion. I forgot all their names, but there was a pale guy whose day job is being an Engineer, who starts off a bit dull, but its all part of his act, which was awesome! There is an Asian comedian, but I think he is just getting started as he seemed a bit nervous in my opinion, but his dog joke was funny. But, he still beats the guy who claims himself as the "hipster who was killed by PCS wireless". Also their jokes are for the most part clean and safe for families to go as well. For $12 per person, I thought it was hell of a show for 2 full hours worth of entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone as this is a must see in town! read more

Every time I'm in town I always make sure to come back. I love their "no obscene jokes" rule which pretty much defies comedy club standards. Having it really makes Backdoor Comedy into a one of a kind place where comedians can shine outside of bathroom humor or sex jokes and a great spot to bring just about anyone. Some people might dislike that the room isn't too large, but it creates a definite connection between the comics and the audience. If you bring a birthday or wedding party they can even include your special guest in the act which can make for a very hilarious time. Instead of a headliner comic where the whole show is based on one act, you get about 7 comics that each bring their own style. Even if you don't like a comic they only take up about 10 minutes of a 2 hour show, which is a fantastic deal for $12. I would highly recommend this club to anyone, and in particular to any groups looking for a great time that might want to avoid the raunchy and gross comedy that has pretty much become the standard of comedy clubs everywhere. read more

This is a great place. My wife and I went for the first time last night, not knowing what to expect. Everyone is right, it is in a funky location - very small. Without reservations, you'll probably sit next to someone you don't know. It's also $2 cheaper to pay with cash - $12 vs. $14 on the credit card. How about the comedy? It was great! Very talented people. There were about 8 comedians the night we went - all but 2 were very good (but that's to be expected). The closer has a Showtime special coming out in a couple weeks. The comedy was very clean, too. There was very little cussing and vulgarity - you don't find that too often. But they were hilarious! I recommend it. read more

Had a great night, food drinks and comedians made us laugh the entire night! It was our second time there, it's a great night out!3//8

Every time I've been to the Backdoor Comedy Club, I've had the most fun. Their comics have always been hilarious and the staff is super friendly. The club is intimate and cozy with a sort of a New York comedy club feel, but not so tight that you feel like anyone is getting into your personal space. You see a number of different comics over the evening, and they're all really funny. They keep things moving and it's a great show. It is a fantastic place for a birthday or anniversary. Just let them know when you make your reservation and they take great care of you. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't regret it! read more

Very small intimate venue (not sure what to call it) . Came here with a group of 5. Pretty inexpensive for some great laughs. Call ahead to reserve seats, they will take your credit card to hold but you can pay however you want when you get there. There is a small break if you pay cash. They will only charge your card if you are a no show. I came on a Friday night and there were about 9 or 10 comics. There was no down time between sets. Which could be good and bad, some comics didn't have as much material or time on stage as others. If you leave for the restroom you will miss at least one comic. All the acts were pretty clean too. The seats are jam packed in but it wasn't very crowded the night we went so thankfully that wasn't an issue for us. No shoulder to shoulder with any strangers this night. If you're tall, skinny, beautiful and female you will be put up front and the comics will notice you.... and comment. A few even gawked a little too long if you know what I mean. Most of the comics were very funny a few not as much but for the most part I had some great laughs from them all. Website says 2 item minimum but they didn't really enforce it. Even though we did almost order the minimum and our bill was under $20. Eat before you come the food/snack options are slim. The queso was just canned nacho cheese that you'd find at any kids sporting concession stand but the chips were good. If you do need to eat here then come early so you can get your food before it starts. Once the comics start flowing everyone in the room is fair game. They are 18 & up so I was able to bring my daughter and her boyfriend. Which was their first comedy experience and they loved it. If you enjoy laughing, and watching other people get made fun of... then definitely check this place out at last once. read more

2 hours of non-stop laughs for $14? Whaaaat?? So happy we chose to attend. It was so much fun. We saw a dozen comedians, all different genres and experience levels but they all had funny in common. There were no breaks in between sets, the comedians just kept rolling in! The venue is tiny an therefore intimate. They, as most comedy clubs, have a 2 purchase item minimum with very decent prices. If we come back to Dallas, we will most definitely stop by again. read more

I have been to comedy clubs in from Boston to Seattle and this club was absolutely great. The environment is classy if you want to take a date, and you get to see some really good comedians working out their material. Not everything works, and that is part of live comedy, but the sets are short, so you're constantly being entertained with new comedians. Tix are 15. I had quesadilla for 9 and cheesecake for 6 both were really good and not bar food as the club is actually in an upscale hotel. This is a better date than most options out there, and at a reasonable price. Seriously, this show is a steal. read more

The location is weird, and hard to find, and the room is offputtingly small, but the comedy for the most part is rock solid and very entertaining. I didn't like all the comics, but that is really a personal taste issue, and to each his own. The fun part about the intimacy of the room is that it is easy to bump into the comics before or after the show and say hello. The service was painfully slow, but the prices weren't too bad. The salsa was surprisingly delicious. Will definitely go back. read more

First thought when you walk in is what the heck! Space and stage are miniature sized. Seating is old banquet chairs and tables, room holds about 30 people. Menu has about five unhealthy choices of food to eat so eat before you go and take the two drink minimum thou drinks are weak and about $9.00 a pop. They have a full bar but they couldn't make any of the drinks I asked for. Comedians about 10 of them ranged from horrible to I want to see them again. Even though I rated them a 3 star I would say go try them out on a day when you have nothing else to do! read more

We were in Dallas for the weekend and looked up comedy and found Backdoor Comedy. It is in a hotel. The staff were very pleasant. There was one one server and he was really busy. We had a good time because most of the comedians were quite funny. The 3 star was because of the 18% gratitude they tagged on your check. It was not disclosed on their website and we were not told when we purchased our tickets at the door. Would that have stopped us from going in? Probably not, but I don't like surprises.0 read more

My girlfriend and I went on a date here the other night after reading the great reviews on Yelp and definitely worth the cheap entry. As with any local comedy club there were some duds but there were also some comedians that were making me pee my pants! If you are looking for something low key to do on Friday night I highly recommend giving Backdoor a chance. read more

Had a great time at Backdoor Comedy Club. The comedians were funny - clean but not too clean - and personable. Awesome time!
