Catch A Rising Star

I'll preface this review by saying that until this visit, I had only been to comedy clubs in NYC and LA. Audiences are much larger and the talent is already pretty famous. Still, I had a really fun night with some great laughs and memorable lines, and wavered between 3 and 4 stars for this venue since comparisons really wouldn't be fair.

Catch a Rising Star is located on the lower level of the Hyatt Hotel (saying basement just seems wrong). The space was smaller than I expected, but comfortable with great seating arrangements that allowed audience members a good view of the stage and the comedian regardless of where you sat. It was pretty popular, and almost all the seats were taken when we arrived. Although I hadn't heard of the headliner or the opening act previously, both were good. Both involved the audience, and the headliner also acknowledged some of the regulars.

Servers were friendly and attentive. They serve both food and alcohol. We were coming straight from dinner, and were already stuffed, so skipped both. Location is far more convenient than heading to either NYC or Philly, so I'll definitely be back to check out some of the other talent that comes through. Can't believe I never thought to try out this spot before!
