I had really low expectations for this when I bought the Groupon and decided on a whim to go with a couple friends last night. Let me tell you, I have not laughed this hard in a long time!! It was absolutely amazing and my cheeks are still hurting this morning from all the belly laughs! At one point the four of us were crying with laugher as the host just ripped through the crowd bagging on all the guests... it was absolutely hilarious!
We immediately bought another groupon and have encouraged all of our friends to get them as well so we can get a big group together and go again. I would highly recommend this!! The only downside is the food is kind of blah...
I came here last night for the first time and had a blast. The price is right and the Yelp deal encouraged me to make that first visit.
First of all, the host (the Puerto Rican dude) is HILARIOUS! He has a really good attitude and did a lot of improv with the audience. I might sit up front next time!! Props to this guy, he really warmed up the crowd for the other comedians. I was a big fan of his different voices. He even made a John Coffee reference from the Green Mile. LOL!
I don't know the names of the guys that were presenting, but the headliner was hilarious and super talented. He even played some awesome guitar music for us during his comedy act.
My favorite comedian was the guy who talked about the Pandora music station.. I have not laughed so hard in ages!
Overall a great presentation and a wonderful effort on the part of the comedians. Props to everyone :)
I think I've been to every show and I've loved every one!
I'm so glad these guys started up out here in Goleta. Â They get hilarious headliners (& openers, for that matter) that make it a different show each week, Â I strongly recommend making the Hideaway your weekly date-night like we do.
Not only that, the food is great, too!
Stand-up comedy shows are simple to produce, but so many places get it wrong. Comedy Hideaway knows how to do it well. At other comedy nights you will likely be subjected to:
A) lousy comedians
B) the bar's televisions blaring "crucial" coverage of bowling
C) the jukebox playing Justin Bieber's Greatest Hit
D) disinterested customers shouting like they're trying to have a conversation with Beethoven at a shooting range
E) all of the above
Having been to Comedy Hideaway's shows three different times, I can say they know how to present the best stand-up comics in the best venues. Rooms that crackle with energy, laughter bouncing off the walls, great comics you've seen on TV.
Do yourself a favor, forgo the long drive down into Hollywood and get to any of their shows.
