I do love the BNW, but this wasn't their best. We had no table service despite sitting right up…read morefront. My recollection is they previously had servers. Maybe not. Seems a missed opportunity for revenue. I know we would have imbibed beyond the first round we bought ourselves on the way in. Then there was the show, "Hypocralypse Now", which was amusing in spots but never exceeded expectations. Good, not great. I would compare the place to Second City in Chicago, in terms of ambiance and atmosphere, and Second City doesn't always hit a home run either. This was fun, and we loved all the taunts of the current vile administration, but perhaps MAGA is too easy a target.

I've been to many shows over the years - the most recent was the original improv show written by…read morethe troupe: "The World is Burning, Let's Make S'Mores"! Oh, it felt good to laugh ... and laugh ... and laugh some more. The talented and creative actors made it easy, giving their all to the audience in song, dance, costume ... you name it and they brought it. The theater is on Hennepin Avenue, a black room with seats and tables surrounding the stage. There is an elevator, a large staircase bathrooms for men and women, and a small bar before you enter the theater. A lovely space for a show and relatively easy to navigate for food, parking, etc., even with a stroller (this is NOT a kids' show) or a person using a walker or wheelchair.

Get there early and prepare for a very, very fun night!

The service was great, I have been to this venue a few times for different things and they always do a good job accomodating people and with really good service. The show was well lit and the sound was well balanced, when you are at a comedy show that is very important to be able to hear and see the act you are there for. All in all i give this 5 stars would totally go there again to see comedy or a multitude of other things

Such a cool vibe with above the bar talent!! Easily this show could've been on Broadway or Vegas or even home in Nashville... and to hear it had been running for multiple decades showed how cool and fresh they've kept it....Steve Ray himself was there hosting it!! Was so cool! It's a dinner theater and dinner was ok w/ some flavor, but the service was off the chart....Our server "Rochelle" shot us a funny line and it was used in a skit... I'd definitely recommend this show!! Stevie has a cool vibe and the talent he has working with him tells me he's kept taking care of BOTH of his guests his top priority!! Thanks 4 The Laughs Ya'all!!

This a review for the Improv Classes only. This is my story. I signed up for the Improv 101…read moreclasses. This was all new to me. Thought it would be fun. I live in the rural area outside of Minneapolis, so I drove 40 minutes to enjoy fun and create comedy with other non-comedy people. Other average people. Not what happened. Let me explain... This is all new to me. So, during one of the warm-up exercises. It was the one-word poem exercise. Sounds cool. The fours words leading up to me, were, "The"..."Cows"... "Were"... "Making"... Which then left me to think up a word that kept the poem alive... I picked the word "Whoopie". The room stopped. 3 to 4 people in the group, which told me that the word Whoopie was inappropriate, and I needed to change the word choice right away. They all had urgency in their voices... I was taken aback... What? My word "Whoopie" caused you to stop everything? I was only doing what felt natural. I was told by 4 people that my improv was wrong. I needed to change my word choice. WTF? Really? Whoopie? Woke people are everywhere. They stand and make you feel shamed into thinking just like them. No more free expression. All this shaming because of the word Whoopie? If you're thinking of taking Improv classes at Comedy Sportz. Read what I've experienced and go if you want. I'm totally off this group. Nothing personal Comedy S, your people are too judgmental of everyone outside their circle. I said the word, WHOOPIE? REALLY? I'll keep telling everyone how your people shamed the heck out of me that night at class. I'm hurt. TD Riggs Comedian. P.S. I did talk to the class teacher later during break. He didn't seem to care. The second half of the class, those same people talked comedy about mating with animals and breeding to make animal children. What? Bestiality is OK, but Whoopie isn't? Run far away from the hypocrisy of these classes, less you want to become them. lol. Hated the feeling they gave me.

Service here is a hard pass. 2 item limit but never was seen by server - UPDATE - server came…read moreconveniently after the show started - after the kitchen was CLOSED - I refused to buy anything because despite being ignored while she was getting drunk on the job - who spends their money somewhere who ignores you for OVER AN HOUR. mind you people around us were on their 2nd-3rd rounds of food/drinks. that is the main joke. The GM came out to address us not abiding to the 2 item limit - very unprofessional (PARKER - wrote his name so sloppy was probably drunk as well) very rude and condescending, he made several excuses for his under the influence employee ignoring us.. but stood on having to buy 2 items or leave. Mind you the kitchen was closed at this point. We are almost an hour into the show. I told him i'm not buying anything after being ignored for an hr and also asked if he wanted us to chug 2 drinks w/ less than an hr left of the show and having to drive home. He suggested we buy 2 bottles of water - each. ABSOLUTELY NOT SPENDING A DIME.. or penny here. After some back and forth about it he said he can offer comp tickets to any other show - WHY THE F would we come back again?! Definitely putting the wrong people in management. The point was we were ignored over an hour, there's nothing you can do for me at that point. I'd never sit at a restaurant over an hr with no service and still spend my money there. It did escalate to security coming to kick us out. Thats where the employees showed their true colors. Just trashed. Yelling despite a show going on. Going back and forth OVER the GM. Just disgusting behavior from GM to drunk servers to drunk host. Hard pass on any show being hosted here.

When I calmly asked where…read morethe $20 food and beverage minimum was stated on the ticket, the staff told my girlfriend that "you will get kicked out" if we didn't comply.

Very disappointing experience.

I go here for the 'Greatest Comedy Show Ever' every first Saturday of the month…read more The host (of the comedy show), Nick is great & very funny! The other comedians are decent as well! For $5 it's good entertainment, (can't really complain) if you don't have plans on a Saturday night. The bartender is great! Only 1 bartender & he does a great job handling all the drinks as well as all the food orders! The drinks are always great! He can make pretty much anything. Hard working guy! Drinks are pretty cheap. They have GREAT bar food! I usually get the fries with seasoned sour cream & the dry spice chicken wings (seasoned very well). This time we tried a new chipotle special of the month wing. It was really good. Just the right amount of sauce & spice. Food is reasonably priced! It's a smaller venue and seating is pretty tight. If you want a good spot get there early! I believe doors open an hour prior. Also they have a parking lot but with Club Underground being under an actual bar (Spring Street Tavern) & this event is on a Saturday night parking gets kind of tight in the lot. There is plenty of street parking. Usually always have a good time here.
