I visited The Port Comedy Club for a free open mic night. I didn't see much as I entered the venue…read more- the space was darkened, but obviously lined with chairs set up for the show. I sat in the next to last row and still had a good view of the stage. Overall I felt the seat I was in was comfortable for the length of the show, and the sound and lighting during the program was sufficient. Overall, good visit. I'd see another show here. Oh, they don't serve food here, but you can bring your own.

I have been to the Comedy Factory many many times so this is an overview of my experiences. The…read moreComedy Factory is located inside the Best Western Hotel. There is also a club on the bottom floor in which there is shared parking. We typically see the same comedian every time we come. There has been some shifts over the years when the box office has been however now it's on the first floor to the back. I usually order my tickets online then pick them up at the box office. The ballroom/comedy area has been remodeled a few years ago in which I love the comedy legends being placed on the walls. The place is really first come first serve as far as seating outside of VIP seating in which I never brought. This place can get really crowded depending on what time you arrive. We have been packed in there like sardines many of times. The food option are ok for a typical Comedy show. There is a 2 drink minimum. The security staff needs major work on professionalism, crowd management and interacting with the public. I have also had huge issues with security in past years and have seen security not act professionally at all to other guest. In that case security needed security. SMH. Why do I return you may ask? My husband enjoys seeing the same comedian every time he comes so I oblige.

That was an easy yes since I love to laugh and after remembering him doing the Trump impressions on IG, I knew I'd be cracking up. Baltimore Comedy Factory, which I will be referring to as BCF for the remainder of this review, is tucked away on the 2nd level of the Best Western Hotel. Some folks think I'm "Bougie" but I'm far from it. I love stuff like this.. Lol! BCF has a separate entrance so you don't have to go through the hotel lobby to get there. Once you walk up a SUBSTANTIAL amount of stairs, yes, you'll add to your daily steps, trust me, you'll have to stand in this loooooong line if you didn't purchase VIP tickets. I know you're wondering, no, she didn't purchase VIP tickets.. Lol! :) Even with the long line, once you enter, BCF is pretty damn big and finding a nice table to watch the show wasn't a tall task at all. I was pleasantly surprised! Just like most venues similar to this one, unless you come with your friends, you'll be sharing your table with complete strangers. That's cool with me since I'm social but introverts may be a bit uncomfortable. BCF has to work on their food and drink ordering system. The day we came, it took about 45 minutes before our server made her presence known. Once she arrived, she did a good job and had a cool personality. All and all, I had a very good time and I'd definitely come back, because no, I'm not Bougie..LOL!

Simply perfect. Show was about two hours of fun and…read moreinteractive magic/illusions w a stellar magician. Lots of guest interaction on every trick in a very cozy theater space. Drinks were really great and two were included w the ticket price. If u take someone Under 21, they can use the tickets to buy things from the magic store in the theater or drink fantastic mocktails. I can't say enough for the level of entertainment and value for the money. They could charge 100 dollars a ticket and it would still be a deal. I hope to go back again sometime!

My wife and I had planned to see the Dan St. Germain show at the Dorchester Center for the Arts on May 31, 2014. It was supposed to be the highlight of our visit to Cambridge, MD to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Instead, I got an e-mail THE MORNING OF THE SHOW stating that the show had been canceled. No reason was given. No explanations. When we got to Cambridge and started asking questions, everybody got very quiet. Like they were hiding a family secret. So, I had to scramble to find alternative dinner and entertainment plans. The only thing that they did that was remotely honorable was refund my money in a timely fashion. But the damage was already done...

Nestled right in the station north area, this is an awesome nonprofit theatre that is such a…read morewelcoming and supportive community! Recently finished Mike Harris' Intro to Improv 101 course (7 week course)- it was a blast. Had fun and learned a lot. As a student you get to go to all BIG's shows for free which is nice, good learning opportunity. They have various types of improv shows every Thurs-Sat nights, been to several and enjoyed them. Highly recommend taking a course or seeing a show. Am now in Michael Furr's standup comedy class which has been amazing so far. Aesthetics wise, it's no luxury theatre (they rely on donations and grants to stay operating, so this is understandable!) but it gets the job done and is homey. Convenient location near a few local bars. Parking Tip: If attending an evening show, get there early if you want to find easy street parking right out front (cheap, pay via kiosk or Parkmobile app). There's a parking garage across the street that's $5 if you tell them you're there for the theatre.

He was super attentive to his students, encouraged everyone to set their own boundaries and promoted open communication through games and improv.

The performance is up close and personal, and nobody could figure out quite how they did what they did.... including the people volunteering to be part of it, or the skeptical person sitting next to me (my boyfriend, who was amazed during the show). Very witty, comedic, and captivating, this is definitely worth going to see! Great for a family night out or date night. Something different and fascinating!

Honestly really disappointed with the way security handled things. Instead of actually looking into…read morewhat was going on, the guard immediately jumped to kicking people out without even asking questions. It felt like the decision was based more on personal bias than anything that actually happened. If security is there to keep things safe and fair, they should at least take the time to investigate before throwing people out. Acting like a tough guy and refusing to listen doesn't solve anything it just makes the place look bad.

First…read moretime here and I'm good....dont need to come back! lol Fun indoors/outdoors venue for events (music, shows, club nights, concerts, etc.) -- makes it so that itis accommodating, spacious, and it doesn't get too crowded or uncomfortable for anyone. The music was on trend....lots of your old school hits, classics, today's pop, rnb, line dancing music and even country songs.....and the crowd was an eclectic mix....young, old, everything in-between and all over the place to be honest! lol We came here as a night cap for some late night drinks and a party vibe. We at least got that and I can say I've been here. In all, cool spot and venue but just not necessarily my kind vibe...if you catch my drift. One thing to share....the drinks are mad strong and the bathrooms were super clean. lol. Worth a visit when in this area and looking for something to do on the late night tip....because most other places in the Baltimore Harbor area are closed by 10pm or before midnight.
