Another great night at the comedy club. My server Lexy was a sweetheart and the long time house…read morestaff are always just so good to me! Phil always welcomes me with a kind, warm smile, remembers me every time and lets me choose my seat up front! Enjoyed the Caesar salad with chicken tonight! Food does take a little while to come out, so please be kind and patient. They're working very hard. I would love to see some additional options added to the menu. I have to share, tonight was different than most. I'm blown away by the professionalism and skill of the caliber of comedians they bring. Josh Adam Myers and his crew handled a very difficult table up front with grace and playfulness in a way that was next-level -- this group was very obviously uncomfortable with the edgier humor and seemed completely unaware of how their energy was affecting others in the room, let alone the comedians braving the stage and simply wanting to make people happy. Josh managed to turn what could have dampened the evening into an inspiring interplay with the audience--remarkable in how he kept the energy positive. It's a reminder that the way we carry ourselves can either uplift or dim the atmosphere around us. Also... he hangs out with Jelly Roll and has an amazing dog, so go support him and his posse at another show this weekend!

Fun place to watch some stand up. I came to see Tony B, his finance and friends. They were…read morehilarious!!! The show started off with funny video clips and music. I thought that was a fun introduction. I did not order any food but I did have a small piece of a friend's buffalo chicken flatbread. My friend thought it was a little too spicy. I enjoyed it. Service started off slow so a few people went up front to the entrance where the bar was to order a drink. During the show, services seemed to pick up. We had a great time with lots of laughs!

We were looking for something fun to do last minute, and since I have the Get Out Pass, I decided…read moreto see what was available. I came across JP's Comedy Club and was surprised that we were able to book tickets last minute, so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. I've been to the Tempe Improv before and have enjoyed it, but I have to admit that the last time I went, I thought the comedian was terrible. It honestly kind of spoiled comedy for me for a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect going into JP's. Our tickets were free through the app, and there was no service charge, which was a huge plus. There is a two-drink minimum per person, but even with that, it ended up being cheaper than the Improv because there was no service fee. The biggest surprise was how consistently funny everyone was that night. They had multiple comedians come out, and it wasn't one of those shows where you have a few funny moments here and there. Every comedian was genuinely funny, and the entire lineup was consistently entertaining. This was my first time at JP's, but I have to say my first impression was amazing. I even talked to a woman afterward who had been there five times, so I'm hoping what we experienced is the norm! My boyfriend and I had such a great time, and we definitely plan on going back. I'm really glad we decided to give JP's a shot!

Had a great time at this comedy club this weekend. We came to see Mohanad Elshieky, a comedian I…read morefound on TikTok a few years ago. I was happy to see him make a stop in AZ and was excited to get tickets. Prices were fair and easy to purchase online with will call pickup at the door - alphabetized by last name. We found parking nearby and there seems to be plenty of it (personally I would avoid any paid lots and stick to the free ones). The club itself is small and intimate; we were sat at the table right in front of the stage next to another party, but thankfully with a chair buffer in between us. I'm guessing when the tix sell out, it would be more crowded. They do have booths in the back for vip seating. I love that there's no drink minimum here and that complimentary cold water is served. I tried a slice of one of the pizzas and I liked it, it had shrimp, artichoke, olives and other toppings. Service was friendly and available. The host, opener, and headliner were all funny and we enjoyed our night here. I got hot during the show but may have been all the laughing. I'd come back and see another show!

Came by tonight for a comedian hypnotist Gary Conrad. The show was good, entertaining…read more The menu had grown since my last visit but so had the prices. It was nice to have options to choose from, from salad to pizza to appetizers. I appreciate that they were not strict about a menu item minimum tonight. That actually had me more motivated to order! I decided to try the Caesar salad. Unfortunately I didn't love it. The romaine was fresh and crunchy but there was too much dressing and didn't love the glamour so only ate about half. Server was so sweet and attentive. She was really lovely. One thing that was very off-putting was the both behind ours. The group there was so loud. One woman in particular seemed intoxicated and talked loudly u to her friends throughout the show. She made multiple very rude and profane comments towards others guests and the comedian. I would have really appreciated seeing staff/management address this, out of respect for the performers and guests. I observed several guests look back at the loud table multiple times throughout the night given ongoing distraction so just a bit disappointing that this went unchecked. Nevertheless staff were very friendly and kind.

Such a fun experience! We came to celebrate my sister's birthday and I'm so happy I chose Drunk…read morePirates. The cast was hilarious, the drinks were great and they did an awesome job involving the audience. I was honestly worried it might be a little cringe, but I was laughing the whole time! What really stood out was how they handled a medical emergency toward the end of the show. One of the actors noticed right away, the lights came up immediately, they asked if there were any doctors or nurses and they cleared the area so quickly and professionally. It was really impressive to watch. Once they made sure everything was okay, the show picked right back up and everyone was able to keep having a great time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun night out!

Ugh, I HATE to be that guy, but if I do, I say it, then maybe it doesn't get addressed. Let's start…read morewith the good! Drunk Pirates is the offspring of the Drunken Shakespeare Society based out of downtown Phoenix in the Arizona Center. Find the parking valet on the west-facing block and look for the red door and the line. Once inside, you are sat in a "theater in the round setting" that holds around 75 people, so there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. You are greeted with a shot of blue curaçao as you prepare for the evening. For this iteration of the show, you are told the story of Treasure Island with a parody and improv twist. The actors are supremely friendly, funny, and approachable before and after the show, but when the show begins is where they really shine. As you can guess from the name, there are ample opportunities for crowd work, crowd participation, and improv games with pop culture references aplenty. Now for the four-star review. If anyone from the show reads this, I would say my biggest critique comes from the projection and pacing of the dialogue delivery. At many points through the evening, it was hard to hear punchlines either through the volume of the delivery or articulation. Another critique came from those sitting next to us, that I happen to agree with. A guy next to us was explaining to his friends that throughout the show, one of the actors would be the designated drinker and would be taking shots the entire performance. His party was disappointed when the actor took six shots the entire hour. I don't think we expected the guy to get commode hugging plastered, but we all hoped some bad decisions would be made and slips of the tongue would occur à la Drunk History style. At the end of the day, we had a great night and laughed a lot, and that's what we looked forward to. There are lots of cocktail drinks and not a lot of food options, so eat before you go. They also don't validate, so grab some Coldstone ice cream on the way out!

We went to Desert Ridge Improv over the weekend to see a comedy show with a group of friends, and…read moreit was definitely a fun night out! We arrived about a half hour early so we could be seated together. On our last visit, the service was pretty slow, so this time we were hoping to get our drink and food orders in right away to make sure everything arrived before the show started. Our group noticed that the menu prices are definitely on the higher side, but it is what it is. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. For drinks, we had a mix of beers, wine, and cocktails. For food, we ordered the nachos with no protein, cauliflower bites, wings, and chicken tenders. Our server was really nice, but he definitely seemed overwhelmed. The nachos arrived pretty quickly, well before our drinks, and the chicken tenders came next. The wings and cauliflower bites arrived about 15 minutes later... and we were still waiting on our drinks. Those finally showed up after the wings. I totally understand that it gets extremely busy with everyone trying to get their food and drinks before the show, but we definitely would have preferred to have our drinks arrive before or at least during the beginning of our meal. The nachos were a little difficult to eat because of the way they're served. They come stacked really high on a small rectangular tray. I'm guessing this is designed to save table space since the tables are pretty small, but I think a larger tray where the nachos could be spread out would make them much easier to eat. The wings were great! Our table did half Buffalo and half garlic Parmesan, and it was nice that they were able to split the order between two different sauces. The chicken tenders were just okay and unfortunately weren't very hot when they came out. The comedian was great, and we had so many laughs. One thing we did notice was that the neon sign on the stage was half burned out. Come on, guys!!! Get that fixed! Even the comedian noticed it and made a joke about it during the show. Overall, we really enjoy having a comedy club right here in Desert Ridge. Despite the slower service and a few food issues, it's always a fun evening out with friends. A few tweaks and it could be so much better!

Purchased tickets for a show last night…read more Been here prior and it was great. Unsure why the ball has dropped so far from the once great place. Doors opened at 8 pm. They were nice enough to provide mini water bottles in the line, since it was so hot standing in line outside. We were told to go through Copper Blues for entry, which I had previously not done at the prior show, and asked to just stand there. All the tables were taken, and there was just a huge crowd standing around all these full tables. Waitresses come up to you for a drink order, but when you order from them, it does not count towards your 2 minimum drink order inside the club. There were overserving A LOT of guests. Women were extremely drunk, and a lot of men were becoming aggressive. No organization as to how we were supposed to line up, or stand. A lot of shit talking about people feeling like others were cutting them in line, yet no clear instructions on how to line up if you didn't have a wristband of blue or yellow. Ushered into the comedy room and put in a booth which was nice and close to the stage. Told again about the 2 drink mininum. My spouse and I ordred 1 alchoholic beverage each, and 1 soda each. It was $60.00 before tip.

Very nice venue for catching a comedy show. I really do enjoy when I see that one of my comedians…read morethat I like to follow is coming into town. I know if I get a seat here every seat in the room is a good seat. They have a very good sound system. I would say the serving staff are all very friendly here. I typically end up getting wine when I have to meet my two drink minimum. However, they do have several cocktail arrangements that you can choose from. What I like is that for each performer they typically will have a specialty cocktail designed around that actual comedian. So I like that approach. I usually like to catch the early show cause the crowd vibe is a little bit chiller. However, I've never had an issue at this establishment and will continue to catch my favorite comedians here. As I do think they extent a diverse roster of comedians. The last time that we attended, we actually ordered some food. And I really enjoyed the wings. I thought they did a really good job on the buffalo wings and the sauce was very tangy and the wings were fried hard as requested. All in all, it's a really good establishment with a parking lot and there are other places to dine and eat, near the establishment.

I went to the Improv on 8/21/26 to see Mark Curry. I try to avoid this place, Stand Up Live and…read moreothers because of the two drink minimum and the constant badgering of the wait staff for you to order the dang drink. I know the drill so I ordered as soon as I sat down so I would not disturb other patrons who are there to see the headliner, not the club staff. Where do I start with my annoyance? The $21.95 Nachos or the $8 Diet Coke? My bad, the nachos are only $17.95, the extra $4 was for guacamole. My bill was $41 for just me at a single table. Or my extra annoyance at the waitress at the next table that stood in front of me while Mark Curry was performing? Not only was she blocking my view, she was loud so I couldn't hear some of his set. Like girl, you work here so lower it a few levels and get out the way? Ugh! Unless it's someone I HAVE to see, I won't be back anytime soon. See pics for the overpriced nachos. Edit 8/29/26 Downgraded to 1 star for a response that spent more time berating me than taking my experience as an opportunity to apologize. Alex you have defensive energy and that could definitely be detrimental to a business.

My husband and I came here for his birthday to see Steve Byrne…read more We love comedy but we have littles and don't get out much. They had an earlier show at 4pm and it made the bday weekend special- yes, aware that sounds old. At 40 and as early-birds... if it doesn't happen before 5- it's a hard pass!! Ironically this was definitely noted in his act having a 4pm show! After parking and getting lost in the parking garage- yeah, we don't make it into the city much but we got a couple flights of stairs in for no apparent reason that would later benefit the additional IPAs we drank during the show ‍ I loved that we got sat right in front next to the stage. Before I go anywhere I look into reviews on Yelp and Google to see the do/donts, and deals/tricks. Yes, plan to get comfy with your neighbor- they sit parties across from one another. As a party of two we sat next to another couple and so on. I'll admit, I'm not a size zero and my husband is 6'5- it was a bit uncomfortable. I can't imagine being on the thicker side or even an elder managing to get out and maneuver around seated patrons to go to the restroom and what not. We knew the two drink minimum would be required so we opt for the beer bucket that included six beers of your choice mix/match accordingly. Worked out great since they had Church Music and we shared an order of wings as we had dinner plans later. Service was great! Our server checked on us multiple times throughout the show. Reviews mention that it gets hot in there since they pack everyone in. It was freezing and I didn't take my jacket. I would've went back to the car to get it but it's a walk and we got lost on the way in lol. In Arizona businesses overcompensate during the summer and you'll find you wear your jacket more in the summer months inside than during the winter. Parking is free- just make sure you take your ticket with you and they'll scan it. We will definitely be back- yes, drinks are overpriced and tickets were reasonable. As for the show- not bad. Great laughs carried throughout and it's always dependent on the act which should be a separate review from the venue. Looking forward to more date nights in the city for sure!

Not bad at all, I had my receipt and apparently this happens often lol Can't wait to become a regular here, yes I will drive from CG because it's that much fun
