I read beforehand that there was a two purchase minimum but it didn't seem like it was strictly enforced. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. There aren't a lot of food options - just popcorn and nachos. They serve alcohol, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. The service is friendly and they gave out complimentary bottles of water. The show was great and the tech was in proper order so that the comedian could use music, photos, and video clips in his show. I would come here again when a favorite comedian of mine is in town.

This is my second time here. I want to like this venue. But if the mandatory 2 item purchase…read moreweren't enough (just increase the ticket price, geesh), now they've flipped the entrance from the front off Woodward to off the back alley and parking lot. It's almost as if they are trying to force people to use the parking lot, another money grab when street parking is much less. The set up inside has been flipped since I was last there as well. Now that they have servers, you can count on their constant walking and talking during the show to take & fulfill orders. The only food options available were pizza (cheese or pepperoni) or popcorn. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza before the show began only to be told that they had sold out despite there being less than 20 people there. Since I didn't want popcorn, I ordered water and a drink (that was very sweet). I had to track down the server after the show ended to pay my bill. She asked if the others at the table (who I didn't know) were still there to pay their bills. After paying, she quickly had to go find them because a number of people had already left. There were even issues with the mic. It kept going in and out with the first comedian. Shortly after the main act began, the cord completely fell out the bottom of the mic. I have never seen anything like that before during a performance. It was quickly swapped out for another mic. But I was embarrassed for them. Been over a year since I had been there. Despite wanting to support shows at smaller comedy venues, I don't know if I will be back anytime soon.

I was excited to see Corey Holcomb at The Punchline Comedy Lounge. Corey did his job. The venue,…read morehowever, appeared to be conducting a social experiment on human endurance. First off, the seating arrangement was so tight we all may as well have been packed onto Olympic toboggans headed downhill toward disappointment. And don't laugh too hard or you'll end up in somebody's lap. We were all some pretty healthy-sized folks in there, packed together like Thanksgiving leftovers in a Tupperware container fighting for survival. If one person needed to use the restroom, half the row had to stand up like synchronized survivors evacuating a submarine. Future guests should either hydrate carefully or just wear a diaper and commit to the experience. Then came the ventilation. Or lack of it. The air inside felt like somebody sealed us inside a storage tote with body heat and bad decisions. The heat was unbelievable. Calling it a "comedy lounge" is generous. It was more like a steam room where Corey Holcomb happened to be telling jokes. By the middle of the show, people looked less like audience members and more like rotisserie chickens fighting for consciousness. Corey was funny. The venue itself felt like a fire code violation with appetizers.

Loved the comedian we bought tickets to see, but communication with this venue is terrible. Went to…read morethe box office two hours before a Friday show to purchase tickets. They don't answer the phone but say that's when they're open. No one was there at the desk. A staff member at Hockeytown told me they might be there an 1.5 before a show. So I kill another hour to be safe and come back. Wait in line, buy two tickets for a show in a few weeks. I'm a former customer on their email list. Give my email and they promise to email the tickets. It's a week before the show and I realize I have no tickets. Call the main line, email twice. No response until two days before. They finally send my tickets (no they weren't in my spam folder). I see all the service charges and processing fee bs that I'd get if I bought them online instead of driving there to save the fees. In fact, the charge was MORE than if I had purchased online. I've seen two shows here and like the intimate venue, but won't purchase tickets again until they get rid of their junk fees for in person purchases. In addition, the parking lot nextdoor that's literally connected charges $45 to park for an hour show. More than the cost of your ticket. No thanks.

It challenges you and helps you think quick on your feet. Must be able to handle extemporaneous changes in themes too. I also have a friend that participated in the Improv school / program and found it useful. Helped my friend come out of his shell more, not so much funnier in his delivery. You either have it or you don't. I found it amusing and very clear cut who among the troupe excelled at improv. Only a few tend to stand out each show. Kudos to all for their effort nonetheless, it's not easy to do in front of bunch of strangers.
