The comedy was great. What wasn't so great was walking in and being told there is a mandatory coat check and then finding out there's a $1 or $2 (varies for reasons unclear to me) charge for each item checked. When going into the show after already being suckered into checking my coat my friends and I noticed that half the crowd still had their coats. Then during the show my table ordered a couple appetizers (artichoke dip and nachos). For starters, no utensils. The nachos were okay but slightly on the cold side. The artichoke dip was so liquidy (not from being too hot, because it wasn't) that the four of us barely got any dip before we finished the six pita toasts that came with it trying to get to the dip. We agreed to let the dip sit for a few minutes hoping to let it solidify more and then eat it with the remaining chips from the nachos, but as we were paying attention to the show the wait came by and hurriedly took the plates on our table that still had food on them. This venue is in the business of robbing people.
