As a performer, I have to say QED is an incredible place to do a show. The crowd at this place, as is true for most privately owned smaller places, was phenomenal. Really engaged & responsive. The stage is a bit small, but it was enough for our magic show. Dealing with Hannah was a joy, and the bar had beer, wine, and a limited liquor list, as well as food. It's kinda cool to be able to get a few cookies while watching a show. Can't wait until our next show!
This is a hidden gem deep inside Astoria. I am happy i find the local stand up comdy place and dont have to travel to manhattan. I hope drinks and food are good and will try next time. This place needs to get promoted more, as a long term Astorian, i only noticed QED through an acquaintance's post about her poetry event yesterday!
