Went to this establishment, because a friend was doing an open mic and we had a horrible experience. They were out of a lot of the food, the place smelled like sewage and marijuana. The place also needs a lot of updating as it is falling apart. Many of the comedians were not funny and vulgar. When we went, I guess it was amateur night and they had a contest. The comedians that won, were the ones that were vulgar and not funny at all. You can tell the contest was fixed. don't waste your time or money at this club. It is so old and it smells. You can find a better club elsewhere! read more

I really like this gritty, little comedy club. I've seen more than couple bigger and smaller names perform here. This is the kind of place that every seat is intimate with the performer. They have a surprisingly large menu. Other that mozzarella sticks I haven't really explored it. They also have a wide selection of beer and Alcohol however, no microbrews. The wait staff is really on the ball. They bust their ass! If you like to laugh in a setting that is very low key, fun and reasonably priced, then check out some live comedy here. Weather it's a big name touring or someone local starting out, you're bound to have a good time. read more

Date night for ol' Georgie & Amanda. Took a trip to Funny Stop to see comic Dave Landau. He was great. The club was ok. The Funny Stop is located in a strip mall, and the awkward queue therein creates chaos when the early show crowd exits as the late show crowd simultaneously enters. Terrible flow. The owner of the venue is a true character; he looks like an Israeli Popeye. I can't understand a word he says. The place is small(ish) and sparse; typical of a small city comedy joint. A modest, curtain-backed stage faces a room full of the cheapest tables & chairs a restaurant supply store can provide. PA system is good. You can hear the performers speak, provided they aren't drowned out by the chatty kitchen staff or booze-sodden hecklers. (SHUT THE F UP WHEN YOU'RE AT A SHOW! TONIGHT ISN'T ABOUT YOU, F#@KTARD!) Our server was great, beer was cold, and Landau proved what fans of his already knew. He doesn't need Crowder whatsoever. read more

Funny Stop Comedy Club - Pitchers are the way to go, imo. - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Great little hole in the wall Comedy Club. Had a great time going to a show. The staff was amazing; very attentive and discreet so not to disturb the comedian(s) on stage. We didn't order any food for ourselves but the food being served around us smelled good and we didn't hear any complaints. Would definitely go back for another show. The one negative was that we were there for the late show and the line to get in was crammed into a hallway. The patrons leaving and trying to come it made it tricky to get around. read more

If you are looking for a fancy comedy club, this is not the place. It's a small little dive - but it's affordable and the comedians are very enjoyable We've been to a few shows - the service is good, the staff is friendly and we have enjoyed ourselves. It's a fun night out! read more

This review is of the facility and how it is run. It is not about the headliner or opener who I personally thought were hilarious and did an awesome job! Upon entering the facility, we were not greeted promptly. In fact, we stood there for a few minutes waiting for someone to come out and greet us. We were a tad early so maybe they were still trying to prep for the night? Not sure. The inside is set up like a dining room at a restaurant which is nice because you have a table to set drinks and food on. The chairs were uncomfortable banquet chairs. We ordered drinks shortly after we arrived. I like that they tell you on the menu how much the drinks cost because they are different prices depending on what you get. The have beer, wine, and cocktails. I felt that the price of the cocktails did not match the quality nor the size received. The cocktail was very strong but had so much ice in it that it seemed small and came in a small plastic cup. I didn't have another drink after that one. We did order food which I felt was a good value. It was tasty and a good portion size. The staff were friendly but you can tell that by the end of the night, they're exhausted. Throughout the show, there was an obnoxious group of girls who were talking over the comedian. It was rude and they interrupted more than once. I think the manager should have stepped in and given them a warning that they would be kicked out if they didn't shush. I wasn't watching them the entire time so maybe someone did warn them but they continued to interrupt the show. Overall, it was a fun night. I feel that the chairs and decor should be updated. I think they could charge more for entry if they class the place up a bit. read more

An 80's style comedy room. The owner is nice, the bartender is nice. Great acts come through here. Why would you not go? read more

I would say that your experience here would depend more on the talent. The club is a bar scene kind of place. There are a lot of different seating options. The atmosphere is comfortable and fun. We didn't have problems with anything during our visit. The service was very good. The drinks were delicious and cost about the same as any bar that you would go to. Be sure to sign up for their mailing list to get discounts on tickets. They really offer a lot of good deals. For four reserved seats, paid by credit card, we paid $65 without any discount. I am extremely cheap, but feel that it was more than worth it for the good time that we had. read more

When I was in fourth grade, our teacher asked us to write a small paragraph about what we wanted to do for a living. No lie, at the tender age of 8, i wanted to be a standup comedian. I had grown up listening to Bill Cosby and Cheech and Chong records, and I KNEW i wanted to make people laugh. Fast forward many years later. Crippling anxiety keeps me off of the stage (for now), but definitely not away from comedians. Funny Stop is a crapshoot. For every one good comedian, there's another really, really bad one. But the free passes are nice, and they call us constantly with them. Drinks and food here are way overpriced, and there's a two drink minimum. It's not bad for a night out. And I mean, duh, I'm the dutchess of the damn place--I'm obviously there a lot. My favorite comedians almost always play Cleveland. But for a fun night close to home, Funny Stop isn't bad. read more

I went there last weekend and really enjoyed my time. The gentleman who sat us, who I believe is the owner, was really cool and accommodating. Our waitress was a total sweetheart. I had the veal sandwich and it was really good. My wife and I also split some apps, and they were equally tasty. The pricing was decent, considering the fact that it is an entertainment venue, not a bar. The talent was top notch. They kept the audience going all night. Unfortunately, there was a group sitting up front, obviously, who refused to shut up. They got called out a few times, which lead to some pretty funny comments from the comedians, but it was distracting. I don't want this to turn into a rant about people and their complete lack of manners, so I will end with this; go. You'll have a good time. We did and we will be back. read more

Comedians are just ok!! Headliner was great the 2 prior need to improve their jokes! Seriously no food available during the 10pm show!!!?? read more

Made reservations with dinner included. First the place is a dump. Dark dingy, ceiling tiles missing. Food was a buffet and terrible. Cold and very little selection. 7pm show. Comedy acts were mediocre at best. Save your money and go somewhere else. Terrible service and experience read more

Had a blast, if your looking for some laughs, not in a high class setting. You will enjoy your night!

I had a great time until a waitress said I was distracting the comic, more people were yelling and having fun. I'm not sure why laughing and acknowledging the fun was a big deal. I'll never go back! read more

This place is an absolute dump. My gf and I went New Years Eve 2012 for the buffet and show. The place looks like a low rate fire trap, at best, the food came from a Lebanese wedding the Saturday before I'm guessing, and the headliner was a waste. The local comedians and the Matt guy from North Carolina were good. Wasted $100 on the night with the over priced drinks and automatic $5 tip. Oh.....I can't forget the raffle for the 6 or so 'Coach' purses! FAKES. Never again! read more

Saw Carols Mencia was a great show food was ok too the two guys with Carlos were were really funny too! The sever was great kept coming by and checking on us to see if need any, how our food was, nice friendly people , the line up to go in was crazy read more

I love the funny stop. Its a great night out and something different to do thats close to home. The comedians are hit or miss, but i have seen some suprisingly good comics there. If you get on their call list it seems like they call an offer free tickets a couple of times a month. One time they actually called me and offered free tickets to a show I planned on seeing anyways. The only negative thing I have to say is that they are a little unorganized. For the person who said they called and asked them what shows they were going to, the reason ot seemed so impossible is because it would be, they keep everything in a notebook. Regardless they do a really good job at bringing good comics to such a small venue. read more

Behind every comedian there is an ex-boyfriend / ex-wife whose life needs ruining. That is the great thing about Tuesday Amateur Night at The Funny Stop.... you never know what you are going to get. Most new talent take to the mic with no filter in an attempt to get their foot in the door. Some crash. Some shine. All learn. Pete provides an unusual stand-up boot camp for up and coming comics that awards cash prizes and even a chance to be an opening act for future head liners. Best of all if you happen to be a local radio listener you can get in free (Tuesdays only). Listen to Funny Stop's Host John "Couchburner" Denning show for details on that. Funny Stop is more than just a amateur comic pit stop. It caters to some pretty heavy talent the rest of the week and on weekends. More than a few big name comics honed their chops via the Funny Stop stage. Pete is also amazing in that not only does he provides a spotlight to national talent, but he really supports local talent as well. Comic geniuses like Mike Polk Jr., Bill Boronkay, and Anthony Savatt. I personally love the service at Funny Stop. Wait staff is mucho attentive and authentic to your needs, also providing their share of comedy zingers worth stage time. Food is typical bar fare but the mixed drinks are pretty rocking. Unless it is a hugely promoted event (like a New Years Eve ball) prices are well below other comedy clubs in the area. Funny Stop is Akron areas best kept secret to chuckles. read more

Mediocre comedy. Short show. Two drink minimum purchase - and the drinks weren't cheap. Appetizers were pricey and unimpressive, as well. Probably wouldn't choose to go back. read more

We used to go here about every other month. The food was good and the drinks were over priced. As for the talent, it was a risk. Sometimes you had very good comedians and sometimes you would have very bad comedians relying only on their vulgarities for their humor. A few times we invited some friends to go with us and we were very embarrassed by how vulgar the comedians were and not even funny to us. We never invite friends to go with us now. We only went a few times this past year. We just got back from the midnight New Years Eve 2015 show. It was bad and as the evening went on it only got worse. The other people sitting at our table left a little early and we were contemplating leaving. I waited for the midnight buffet that we had paid for. I wish I hadn't. It was quite bad. If this is their typical talent now, I don't think we'll be going back. We used to like the Funny Stop but I can't say that any more. I hate giving bad reviews but the owner should know. We can't be the only people who feel this way. I wish I knew of another local Comedy Club. read more

I am absolutely disgusted with my experience of this establishment. Called, made a reservation for 8 for a birthday celebration, gave my information and Groupon code and got my confirmation code. Arrived this evening with my friends, only to be told we were not permitted to use our Groupons because the headliner was a "special event." The owner walked away with rudeness several times during our discussion, offered no remedy other than returning for another show and told us we were not being honest. I cannot believe that an owner would act with such an unprofessional and rude attitude....blaming the customer for their mistake. We were hoping to have found a cool new comedy club we could frequent.....but, instead we have found a new place all 8 of us can deter our friends from. Calling Groupon for a refund and making sure others don't experience the same treatment. read more

My hubby and I came here on a date night. It's was a Saturday night and they had 2 shows that night. 8 o'clock show and a 10:30 show. We went for the 8oclock and came there late. The staff was really chill about and even gave us a discount because we came in late. It's nothing fancy, they have tables and chair everywhere. You can order drinks while watching the show. After the comedy show we walked next door to their connecting bar. read more

Well, I never actually went to the funny stop, but based on their phone etiquette I never would have wanted to. It was the worst I've ever experienced. I called up to give them the name and confirmation number of the group I wanted to be seated with, and to ask them which of the two shows they had bought tickets for, since there were two times and I wasn't sure. They acted as if my request was so difficult to process, and it took them forever to figure it out. I even heard the other woman say, "who is this person?!" as if my request was so complicated and outlandish. Totally weird. read more

Went here on a Friday night arrived early so we got a pretty good table. We ordered food because we were there about 30 min before the show started. The food didn't come out till well into the second act! We waited 45 min and the waitress said it was due to only having one cook until around show time. Honestly, for the money because of the service being so slow I would suggest going to one of the comedy clubs in Cleveland! Comedians were pretty good and of course got better as they went on. read more

Do not buy tickets though groupon. Even after reserving a table they turned us away. Party of 8 reservations made months in advance and they were told when we made reservations that we had bought though groupon and then told us the night of that they were not accepting groupon but if we wanted to pay full price we could com in. Owner was rude and walked away twice while we were talking. read more

Seriously NE Ohio's best comedy club? Now that is hilarious... this place is a dump! We paid $20 a person for the show and I was ok with that... but $6.50 for an 8oz margarita... Especially when you are going to serve them to me in cheap little plastic cups. Perhaps I expected too much... like a clean table that hadn't been building up grime since 1982. Overall, I would skip this place and head up to the Improv in Cleveland. read more

As someone who has spent her career in customer service management in 2 countries, I was and still am thoroughly appalled at our treatment by the owner of this establishment!! We had a groupon and upon speaking with someone in their office, the member of our group had provided the details when confirming our reservation earlier in the week. After arriving at the club, we were greeted by an extremely rude woman who told us no despite our reservation. We asked if we could enter and pay the difference considering we had the reservation, not using our groupon to which we we're told rudely 'no only people with prepaid reservations are allowed in to special event'. So someone in this establishment issued false information and the 'owner' refused 8 people entrance or any form of solution. As someone who has worked in customer service management for over 20 years I am thoroughly disgusted with this persons attitude. I would not frequent this place again regardless of who was there. Word of mouth is a very powerful advertising tool...this owner just did themselves a great disservice. read more
