This is not to take anything away from the comedy. We saw Leslie Liao on a Thursday night, and she was fantastic! I can't say the same for her openers, but they are starting out and will get better with experience. The loft is small, and people are packed in there pretty intimately. I had a lovely conversation with a guy from Baltimore on my lap (only slight exaggeration). Plus, it was hot...really hot. Like Leslie did an improv set as to how hot she was as the headliner hot. As with any comedy club, it is a two-item minimum per person in the club. They were out of my first three drink orders (which were canned CutWaters), so I got a $13 margarita in a Dixie cup (again, slight exaggeration). We also ordered a brownie sundae, which was a single scoop of ice cream from a spoon and a square brownie they probably microwaved from Duncan Hines. We did learn that a $4 bottle of water counts as an item, so that's where we made up the difference. At the end of the day, we laughed and had a great time with Leslie. Would I go back? Probably not, we were visiting out of town. But I don't regret supporting local comedy houses and comics!

I attended the 9:30 p.m. show on August 2, 2026. Although the show was scheduled to begin at 9:30…read morep.m., guests were encouraged to arrive early because general admission seating was first come, first served. I arrived around 8:50 p.m., expecting to have plenty of time to check in and get seated. From the moment I arrived, the event was disorganized. A staff member checked me in and directed me downstairs to wait in the bar area until seating began. There were multiple groups of guests with different seating options, but there appeared to be no clear system for checking people in or seating them. The process was confusing and poorly managed. To make matters worse, one staff member became so frustrated that he began cursing at guests. Watching an employee lose his composure and direct his frustration toward customers was completely unprofessional. Guests were not allowed into the seating area until around 10:20 p.m., nearly an hour after the scheduled start time. Even then, many people were still waiting outside. It appeared the venue had oversold the event and did not have enough seating for everyone. Whether the issue was the promoter or the venue's management, the event was mishandled from the beginning. After waiting for so long with no clear communication, I decided to leave. I wasn't willing to waste any more of my evening, especially since the venue also enforced a two item minimum for food or drinks. Expecting customers to continue spending money while failing to provide a well organized event only made the experience more frustrating. I came to support a talented artist, but the venue's poor organization overshadowed the entire evening. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning.

In October I went to Drunk Dracula in DC for my first Drunk Shakespeare experience, and I laughed…read moreso much. If you've never been, just know this isn't your typical theater outing--it's way more interactive, chaotic (in a good way), and just plain fun. When you walk in, there's a bar, but you don't order directly from it. Each seat has a QR code, and the staff delivers drinks right to you, which is super convenient. Once you enter the theater area, you're even given a complimentary shot to kick things off--great way to set the tone for the night. The venue itself is small and really intimate, which makes the whole experience better. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The seats along the stage are bench-style with cubbies underneath for your stuff, while the upper-level seating has stools set behind bookcases that wrap around parts of the stage. The drink menu includes themed cocktails, plus wine, beer, and spirits--expect to pay around $15 per drink. There are also light snacks, but portions are small and a bit pricey, so don't count on them to fill you up. If you do order food, the stools by the bookcases are definitely the best seats since you'll have a surface to put your plate on--otherwise, it's lap dining. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. There's a lot of audience participation, and the actors absolutely commit--including proving they're actually drinking. One thing I didn't realize beforehand is that not the entire cast drinks--there's usually one designated drinker, which honestly makes it even funnier and leads to some unforgettable moments. The performance is an abbreviated version of the story, mixed with plenty of local references that keep it fresh and relatable. The Drunk Shakespeare company also puts on other holiday-themed shows throughout the year, which is awesome. I'll definitely be back to check out Drunk Christmas Carol.

I am so happy to see their show's only gotten bigger and better! Martin Amini, the host, has truly worked hard to get their show to were they are at now. He is truly one of the sweetest, most humble, and obviously funniest guys I know! I have never been disappointed with any of their shows. They're so well known now that comedians fly in from out of state. My friends and I went to their show last night and did not stop laughing. Their head liner, James Davis AKA "hood adjacent", had us laughing so hard, the entire time that our stomachs, and cheeks were hurting by the end of the show. Even their opening acts, one funnier than the last. Can't emphasize how much fun we had here. Their next show is on March 8th. Get your ticket! Take your friends!

There is a rotating line up of comedians (normally about 6) and one main "headliner" who has a somewhat longer set and is also normally a bigger name. The comedians are great, Martin is an incredible and super funny host, and DJ Bo is like wow, just amazing! DJ Bo, who keeps the music running all night is INCREDIBLE! Every time I am there all I think is "where can I go to see this man spin beats???" This week I learned the answer to that is Cloak and Dagger, so you're welcome, peoples :) The venue is intimate, they serve drinks and some snacks. Its better to get tickets on line in advance because it SELLS OUT and I have seen the line go out the door and people get turned away.

You can also pay for a parking pass through their website but the lot only opens up an hour beforehand so be sure to plan your evening with that in mind. We ended up parking on the street for only $3 since we arrived early to grab dinner nearby. The entry line was super long and literally went around the block but it moved surprisingly fast. Staff was friendly and helpful at the door. The inside was dark when we arrived and it would've been nice to have some house lights so people could find their way around the venue a little easier. The AC was cranking and the temp was comfortable. Upstairs has standing room and some bleachers which provides a good view with less of a crowd. Their VIP area looks nice and I'd be interested in splurging next time for a seat and a better view. There's bars downstairs and upstairs and even some food concessions. Getting out of the venue from the balcony was a bit stressful with only one way out. It makes you imagine what would happen if you needed to get out in a rush... other than that, it's a good space.
