Q.E.D. = quod erat demonstrandum…read more Q.E.D. Astoria is a mellow and welcoming venue that focuses on comedy but also hosts a range of interesting programming for adults and kids. Most events seem to be under $20, and you can purchase tickets on their website. It's set up so there are a couple of tables around a stage; if you're a small party, you could share a table with other folks. I suggest going when the doors open so you can pick out your preferred seat. The staff are super kind and cool. They do sell food and drinks which you can consume during the performances, but there are also a zillion restaurants nearby too. I've seen a comedy show and a movie screening and had a blast at both. Excited to check out more Q.E.D. events this year!

So happy to have discovered this place! After having a yelp…read moreevent here, I checked out their Instagram for other events they have and discovered all sorts of cool events taking place. Definitely check them out and support a women owned business.

Well, this place is really convenient as it's only a couple of blocks from my apartment- plus, I…read morehave a friend who is a comic and he performs here several times a year. However, besides those 2 things- I would STILL make the trip from anywhere else in the city to come here, especially because of the caliber of comics they have here! I have always gotten free tickets here, or my comic friends have put me on the guest list, so I have no idea of a cover charge or ticket prices. I have also used free ticket ads to gain entry. Either way, there is a "2-item" minimum, essentially 2 drinks or food items, and that even includes water. I stick with beer. I had a martini once, and it was expensive and tasted terrible. Popcorn is good, and pretzels, while microwaved, are also good. There is a bar with a couple of booths up front while you wait, and then once you come in, it is a small room with a stage and a bunch of tables. You are seated in the order that you come in; if you want to be up front, get in early. After you are seated, the servers start taking your food and drink orders. Every time I have gone, there were several comics, it has always been a fun night, and if you want, you can fraternize with the comedians before you go in! This is always a fun night out, there are so many restaurants around that you can either eat first and see the second show, or see the first show and then eat.

LOL? ROTF LMAO!!! Friday night, we had a great time. 3…read morecomedians were so much fun, and the MC kept it all together and was very entertaining also. As other reviews have said, there is a 2 drink minimum, we got pineapple juice with ice. Enjoyed the bucket of popcorn, too. They have an impressive wall of alumni pictures. You will see people you recognize. The size is perfect, not too big or small. Sound was good. Easy to be close to the stage. Our server, Zach was very helpful. A fun night out in NYC! I'll be back! Helpful?

Drinks were meh. Service was good. One bartender for bar and table service but he was pretty quick…read more The only annoying thing was they had all the tables and chairs crammed close to the stage so every time someone walks by they bump into your table or chair. Makes no sense. Run down, divey but has character. Most importantly the talent was funny.

Chica is awesome!!! I had a good time at the show!!!!!!!!!! How many characters is 85?read more
