  I was here on a date on a Friday night and was late...as usual...lol...le sigh~
  As soon as I walked in one of the staff showed me to my table in a room with standard interior. The comedians took a while to start being funny, but picked up towards the later half of the show...but not sure if it was the jokes or me just being a lightweigh and getting drunk on half a glass of mediocre riesling.
  
  I think the highlight of the place for me were the tables outside the comedy room. These tables that built in candy machines underneath the table! o.O How cool~!!! :D
  I'm fairly easily amused...but not by comedians apparently lol.
  
  Oh, and unless you like being in the spotlight and all its glitter, do NOT sit in the front middle section because you WILL be the butt of their joke for a good portion of the night :P

  Its about time!! This club has moved around town over the years but always has had great comedy. I am thrilled that The Comedy Works has found its home as a stand alone building.
  
  First you walk in and the ticket booth is right in front with the showroom to your right and Bar/ seating to the left.
  
  The food is great and not your typical bar food.
  
  This place would be a great place to have a party or function during the week....
  
  I cant wait to go back when Lois Anderson comes!

  You've got to be kidding!
  
  The comedians WERE funny.  The seating is traditional; uncomfortable long table and angles to the 6' x 6' stage.  The drinks were good, cheap and easy to get.
  
  If you like funny people, then have the balls to sit by the stage and say funny things to the comedians.  You'll learn funny fast.  There's NOTHING quite as funny as patrons who think they're part of the act.  Then the comedians have something to work with.  
  
  Comedians today have acts that are more like plays than live shows, so they can transport to TV.  Only one of the three comics played the audience.  In NYC, most comics play the audience and it gets REALLY funny.  Nothing like a pretty drunk to liven things up. So, grab a hot one and head off to be a part of a live show tonight!
  
  $20/head plus drinks.  Buy tickets online.

  When my husband told me he got us tickets to a comedy club in the back of a Best Western, I thought he was trying to make a bad joke. I stand corrected. This place is pretty cool. There was a nice crowd of people and three funny comedians (one local, and two headliners - Chris Rich and Bill McCarty). I appreciated that the local comedian made a joke about how ridiculous it was to be playing in the back of a Best Western because come on, it is kind of funny.
  
  We didn't get dinner, but I did a quick scan of the menu and didn't see anything that caught my attention. Drink prices were decent and service was friendly. I was glad to do something new and fun on a Saturday night . I'm looking forward to visiting again in the future!

  we didn't come for dinner so i can't say anything about the food (i plan on coming back and doing so however). for dinner and a show it is $49 and show only is $20.  the interior is gorgeous. a very large room with ornate columns, walls and ceiling.  the staff is friendly and very efficient.  we had wine and coffee with the show.  the dinners that were being removed as we arrived looked large and well made (at least the remainder of them did) and the desserts they brought out looked inviting.  they also have a snack menu as well.
  
  plus the 3 comedians were all very funny. i will be back.
