Went here to see Theo Von, what a great show!! He had us crying laughing, so good! We were in the VIP section, table 104, literally at the front and center table by the stage, such great seats. Our necks didn't get sore from looking up but if I had a choice I likely wouldn't sit there again because it feels like your in the spotlight and the comdians look out into the audience more than they look down, I imagine the row behind us would've been a tad more perfect though, either way we had some pretty rocking seats through pure luck. The reason for the 4 star rating is not at all based on the comedian/seats, it is purely based on two things: first, the venue which was a top notch 5 stars for sure and second, the service which was absolutely a terrible 2 stars at best. The service getting into the venue was not clear, everyone who purchased tickets online needed to go to the box office/will call to get a second verified paper ticket but if we hadn't asked we would've been in line to go in only to have to get out of line to get our tickets (again), which many people had to do, it was very unorganized. Our tickets stated that showtime is at 10pm and the recommended time to arrive is 9:30pm. We arrived at 9:30pm on the dot, got our second paper ticket stub, stood in line to go in and they didn't end up opening the doors until until 10:15pm. With all that said I recommend getting there sometime before 9:30 if you want to get in there and be in the first group to get your drink orders in because the drink service is turtle slow, be sure to order your two drinks at once because they will only come by one more time after the show starts and it will be for "last call". We got into the venue when it was half full, a guy came by after about 10 mins, took our order, and our drinks were delivered to us 20 mins later (near the end of the opening act). Oh and they put a lot of ice in the mixed drinks so you'll end up finishing your drink pretty quickly, another reason to order two at once. The beers were full to the brim though so that was nice. All in all it was a great show, great venue which made up a little for the terrible service. They just need to get more servers/bartenders to expedite drink delivery.
