I've been to The Comet for punk rock shows before, but last night was our first time seeing a comedy show there. It will be the first of many! Every comic was hilarious. We've been to a good number of comedy shows including some of the huge greats in arenas and cornfields, and I can honestly say that last night's show was as good as any we've ever seen! It's a great intimate space. The beer selection is great. We had the salsa sampler as well and every one of them was fantastic. The prices for everything were more than reasonable. This was the best date night we've had in a really long time and we will be back often!
Always have a great time at this venue. It’s a perfect way to get to see local and touring comedians in a more personable setting. Bar and comic staff are always super great, and the food is awesome too. Definitely worth checking out if you have never been!
