  For a bunch of 'who the hell are these people' comedians i must say this place wasn't half bad.
  
  For a 10:30pm show a line started forming around 9:50. Important to know, even though you have a ticket it is first come first serve! Plus, don't forget about the 2 drink minimum.
  
  The host was nice, he gave us a decent table up close. The waitress was Ok, slow to get to us near the end.
  
  I did have a few issues. One, due to the seating arrangements, i had to turn my head 90* to the left to see the comedian. I would have preferred 180*, at least at that point i would have turned my chair around. Just uncomfortable to see especially toward the end.
  
  Second, the comedians overplayed the 'naughty' theme, so much so that some of the jokes were almost exact repeats of previous comedians.
  
  After we were told the last comedian was coming out, two more performed. When you mentally prepare for something to end and it does not you get thrown off. Would not have been a big deal but the 'last' guy (really 3rd to last) was awesome. Very funny, energetic and overall entertaining. Then, the host comes out (again) with jokes identical to his earlier ones. And the REAL last guy wasn't very funny, was slow and seriously almost put me to sleep.
  
  Not bad overall, just wish some things went different.

  I love all the comedy acts that are booked here! The drinks are weak though, so I usually stick to the wine to get my money's worth. I haven't tried the food yet, so can't speak much to that.

  Customer service is terrible here. I swear they must have hired some of the rudest piss ants in the area because the people here are ridiculous. For a place that has comedians, these people have  the largest,thickest, fattest, and rotten sticks up their asses. The guy at the front a complete douche. The waitress had an attitude to the point by the end of the night, I wanted to see a manager. So ridiculous. The comedians were good. I guess that worked out since that was my purpose of going there. Unless there is someone you are absolutely dying to see, I recommend going to Mohegan Sun to Tree house Comedy or hitting some place in Providence before coming here

  My girlfriend and I checked out the show on wed, it was pretty good: some comedians were funnier than others but ultimately a great time! Our server (Katie) was sweet and did an amazing job. And the fact my girlfriend liked her was huge. The only negative I have about the whole night was the "1 drink at a time" rule... I'm Irish lol
  We will definitely be going back there this weekend to see Godfrey and my girlfriends new favorite waitress Katie!!!

  Went to Comix to see a friend perform.  The tickets were reasonably price - there is a 2 drink minimum which is not included.  The host and the comedians were funny.  Service was good - drinks are higher than outside the casino   I would go back again

  I realize that rating a Comedy Club can be very difficult.  It really isn't fair to rate them on the basis of the comics that are performing on the particular evening of one's visit.  But I will take a moment to say that the comics we saw were really very funny...
  
  As far as the place itself is concerned...
  
  We were greeted by a very friendly, enthusiastic host as we entered.  He made light conversation, which we engaged him in and he told us that we'd have a great time.  We were shown to our table; the place was barely occupied, which was nice.  The price of the tickets were $15 (on this night and time), and the place was not packed at all.  There were tons of empty tables, though this was a Sunday night.  But you're in a casino, so I expect every night to be Saturday night.
  
  Anyway, we had limited choices of seating, despite the place being 40% full.   I will assume that was based on server sections.   So we politely chose our table and sat down.   The waitress came over after about 10 minutes and was doing her best impression of a surly, underpaid, people-hating waitress.   At first I thought it might be part of the act, but unfortunately, that really was her attitude.  
  
  I've never seen someone looked so put-out.  I felt like ordering a drink was a burden to her.   Not to mention, I HAD to order, because there was a 2 drink minimum per person.  She brought out one of the "Irish coffees" wrong, and so we debated at the table if we should even tell her.   We decided to, and she was none too pleased.  Another waitress came by, and asked if someone was already serving us, to which we replied 'yes'... and she rolled her eyes and walked off.   Sounds like a great place to work!
  
  It wasn't until the end of the show when I saw the Mandatory 18% gratuity applied to our party of 4.  WOW.   That's why she was so miserable, she wasn't relying on us to determine her tip.
  
  I've said it before, and I'll say it again... any place that applies a MANDATORY gratuity (other than for LARGE groups) is not a place for me.  I love tipping well for exceptional service.   I'll tip 25% for someone that goes out of their way.   But when you expect 18% for a lackluster, half-hearted, scowl-laden experience, you're in the wrong profession!  
  
  PROS:  Drinks were ok.   Host was funny.  Comics did a great job, had us laughing alot.  Place wasn't overcrowded, fortunately.  
  
  CONS:   The surly Waitress.  The other surly Waitress.  The surly waitresses scowls.  Her undeserved 18% gratuity.   Expensive non-alcoholic drinks.  Coffee or water are both over $5.  yikes.  For those that cannot drink booze, that's not an attractive option.  
  
  My advice... there are tons of other ways to both have fun and waste money at Foxwoods.  I enjoy doing both while on vacation, and I think I'll steer clear of this place until the 18% gratuity gets the proverbial hook.

  I saw Charlie Murphy here this past weekend.  Ticket price seemed a bit high for a place like this... $35.  Plus a two drink minimum.  At least beers were reasonable at $5 or $6.  But it was kind of messed up that they threw a mandatory 18% gratuity on our bill without telling us.  And we were only 4 people.

  Price: Tickets are fairly expensive considering you have no table/elbow room and the seats are either barstools with backs, or wooden chairs. (and theres a two drink minimum,)
  
  Food/Drink: The food is delicious. We got the mini sliders (B+), Pork rollers (A++) and boneless buffalo wings (A) . The drinks were also good and served quickly, although you needed to finish your first drink before ordering another.
  
  Over all, it was pretty good experience. I was confused that they had last call for the waitresses and then wanted you to stay after the show. There really isn't a bad seat in the house because you don't get space, you also get close to the scenes. I'd absolutely return.

  First time checking out Comix at Foxwoods over Valentine's Day weekend to see Dov Davidoff and Bret Ernst perform.  Comix is an intimate venue with plenty of almost elbow to elbow seating.  If you score VIP tickets, you are able to choose your table prior to the start of the show.  The staff were surprisingly very nice.  There is a two drink minimum no matter what type of ticket you have and of course everything is overpriced.  I believe our tab came to $45 and all we had was an appetizer platter, 2 glasses of wine, and a 2 sodas. We still had a pretty good time. I would definitely go back.
