Comedy Works South

Went last weekend to see Ryan Hamilton. He gets 5 stars.

Your experience here and your rating will suck if you go see a comedian that sucks. Youtube the headliner comedian first. Don't watch too many clips or you might end up hearing the same routine. 1 clip is enough for me to know if they are my "type".

Now on to the business:

The place is nice, chairs are comfy, and bathrooms are immaculate.

In addition to tickets, there is a 2 item minimum purchase per person. Cheapest items on the menu are pop/water at $4.50ish each. This means if you spend about $25 on 2 tickets you will spend AT LEAST $18 more to cover the 4 items required (plus tip).

We are vacationing in CO and didn't know this until after we had paid, sat down, and read the notice on the menu. We went to Texas De Brazil right before the show. It's a pricy buffet type of place (see my review) and we were not hungry/thirsty.

The guy at the front didn't really care. I mean, I know a rule is a rule, but we genuinely could not squeeze in a drop of water into our system. Our id's are from out of state. He could have been more understanding.

With that said, if I was a local I'd love to do a dinner and show combo any day over going to a movie.

Our comedian was awesome. We laughed so hard our faces hurt. My husband and I both feel like this was the highlight of our trip to Denver. Worth the drive to see the right comedian.

The people who opened for him also got some good laughs out of us.

TIP: get there 20 mins. before the show.

We attended a show here recently. Apparently if you eat at Lucy (upstairs) prior to a show, you get VIP seating and don't have to wait in line. We arrived fairly early and I was surprised to see that there was already a line forming. The venue itself is ok. I could see and hear the show well, but people were really crammed close together. There is a 2 item/person minimum during the show (can be drinks or food). I don't remember seeing anything on the menu for under $10, so be prepared to spend an extra $20+/person.

Went here with some friends to see Dave Attell this past weekend who is by far one of my favorite comedians.  Was really excited to have a great night but that was ruined really quick by the management.  In the middle of one of the opening acts, my friend was tapped on the shoulder and told to "keep it down".  Never in my life did I think laughing in a comedy club was a crime, but apparently comedy works south does.  This is especially disturbing given the fact at other shows I have been to there had hecklers and not a single thing was done about it.  Well next, 15 minutes into Dave's bit, my friend got a second tap on the shoulder and was escorted into the lobby and asked to leave, again for being to loud (Which wasn't the case at all).  If this was true the whole place should have been asked to leave because no one was really louder than anyone else.  

In short, if you want to spend good money to go see a comedian you really like and then get a night of supposed fun ruined by management...this is the place for you!
