Tripp's Ultimate Comedy Club & Humor Bar

Reviews & Tips

  This is not at all an unbiased review on my part, I am good friend with the owner and have a great deal of respect for him.  I am hoping this will become one of the best comedy clubs in all of Texas, because most of them are not that good and aren't worth the time and money and don't provide a good experience for either the audience or the comics who are performing.  Tripp hopes to change all that.  He was himself a professional touring comedian and has run a comedy club before and knows all the mistakes and all the problems and has been told repeatedly that's just the way it is and if you don't like it, get your own club.  So he did and he's got something to prove!  Unlike most comedy clubs, he wants to build repeat business and get patrons talking about what a GREAT experience they had.  His drinks are priced well below other bars in the area and he's only going to have one show a night because he wants you to come early and stay late, make a night of it.  Soon, hopefully in September, he'll start serving pizza and sandwiches.  I do stand-up comedy and that's how I met Tripp, most comedy club manager and owners don't care about the craft of comedy or about the comics involved, they're just in it for the money and it kills the spirit of it all.  Tripp is truly devoted to both comedy and comics and wants to give back to both.  I was at his soft opening this past Saturday and well, you could just feel the love there.  This is more than just about a comedy club, it's really about preserving a way of life and making a dream come true and sharing it with others.  Hey, this is the great American dream!  The comics were great, especially Jade Esteban Estrada!  There's a new kid on the block in the comedy club scene, look out you all!  Place seats about 140, painted up in black and purple and just feels like a comedy club when you walk down the stairs into the basement.  It's directly under City Hall and one of the comics quipped, "Feels like we're doing something we shouldn't be doing down here doesn't it?"  It sure does.
