Broadway Comedy Club

I purchased a ticket from a vendor in Time Square for $30. The street vendor really oversold the caliber of this show. If you have a local Looney Bin this show is the same feel. We were told the show was going to start at 10:30, and it didn't begin until 11. There is a minimum 2 drink minimum requirement that customers have to buy and they automatically add a 25% gratuity to each purchase. This was not mentioned when the ticket was sold. The lowest price drink is $6 and those are non-alcoholic. There were a few good comedians. If I had known it was going to be $30+$17+ for drinks, would I have went to this show? No! This most definitely seems like a tourists trap. If you have nothing else to do and have money to burn, attend this show.

We attended the World Comedy Show on February 25th after purchasing tickets online. We had read many negative reviews, so we contacted the venue via email. Rich, a representative from the venue, assured us that our experience would be fine. We arrived 20 minutes before the show and were promptly seated in the side front row. We were repeatedly informed that we needed to order at least two drinks. We ordered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and we found them to be adequate. The wine quantity was generous, and the cocktails were strong and delicious. There was only one server, but he was efficient. The bathrooms were clean and located downstairs. Although the show was sold out, we were not squeezed. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. However, I would give it four stars instead of five because of the 25% automatic tips which is still excessive. If you’re a local, I recommend coming here. But if you’re a tourist and you’re pushed to purchase tickets at Times Square, you’ll be shocked to see the 2 drink minimum and the 25% automatic gratuity. Please consider this before purchasing your tickets. I love to return when any of our friends perform here!
