We've been here a number of times because it is great, cheap comedy! One year, we went here for their Valentine's Day event, which was really fun. The tickets were a little more than usual because they included a dessert bar. Definitely follow Mo C.'s tip of calling ahead to make a reservation. Some of the seats are really close together, so we always request ones at the back. Also, once we planned a night to just drop by and see some comedy, and when we got there, they were closed! I think something happened with the comedian, but it was a bummer.
Review Source:My girlfriend had a groupon for a show that had to be used soon so we went to check out an event. She called ahead on Tuesday to let them know we would be there, but she was nowhere on the list. Good thing it wasn't sold out or we would have been in trouble since we are both quite busy.
They sat us in the front row directly in the center. Not a bad thing as I don't really worry about being heckled at all. I can take it. So could my girlfriend.
For a comedy club, the beers were not overpriced and neither were the drinks. I've seen more expensive drinks in Lodo so I have no issues with that whatsoever. The only issue that I have is the fact that the service was so slow. It took 10 minutes for me to get my drink each time after I ordered. That could be why they didn't get crazy on us when my girlfriend only got 1 drink.
The MC wasn't funny at all, the second comedian was OK and the headliner was average as well. No one I'd pay to see, but the ticket was free so that's fine with me. I will definitely be back and this time hope that the experience is a bit better.
Overall, it was a fun night out and I recommend this for people who want to see comedy on a budget
The ratings for a comedy club are not for the club, they're for the comedians so you can figure this will change week to week. Â Still, I'll gamble on comedy and feel I've gotten my moneys worth.
There were 3 comedians last Saturday night. Â One was 5 stars and one was 4 stars. Â You pay your money, you take your chances. Â So the five stars is for the best comedian that night.
Mark Poolos was the 5 star and he sometimes shared the stage with his traveling buddy Joe P. Â - Italian, New Yorker, that what I got for his moniker. Â He was a four star.
There was a newbie trying out some laughs and his racial jokes made me uncomfortable. Â He's learning his trade, I get that. Â He was out of line in more ways than one so he's gets one star. Â At least he's got room for improvement.
The staff rate 5 stars. Â Friendly, efficient, makes you want to come back. Â Made reservations over the phone, easy peasy so got to pick where we wanted to sit and taken there right away. Â Food and drink servers were attentive but not intrusive.
The rating for the Club facilities is between 4 and 5 stars. Â Easy to get to, ample, free parking lot outside the Club, decent inside, serving food and booze. Â The club has a nice feeling of intimacy.
The booze is a bit pricey, but you're only there for an hour and a half so with a two drink minimum, you won't get gouged. Â Didn't have any food so won't comment on that.
Dang, Adam - I didn't see no stinkin carmel corn.
As it turned out, Â the lady with the plumber's crack got a few laughs too.
For a comedy club in a suburban strip mall that never really hosts anyone you've ever heard of, this is a pretty big room. Â Honestly it doesn't seem much smaller/different than Comedy Works, and it seems to draw pretty steady crowds from what I've seen. Â The sound works fine, and I've always been able to see the stage. Â It's got the usual two item minimum and the usual overpriced comedy club pricing. Â
Here's the deal though: Â The caramel corn is what is up, my friends. Â It's so friggin good. Â Bring a backpack, order two orders of caramel corn per person, eat what you can, and dump the rest in your backpack for later. Â The portion is way generous, and it's crunchy, sweet, and delicious. Â I bet you didn't start reading a review of a comedy club expecting to see a paragraph about caramel corn, but seriously. Â It's fantastic.
So yeah, you're usually taking a risk coming here to see someone you've never heard of tell you jokes (though the times I've been have been almost universally funny). Â But at least while you're listening, you can take your mind off any bad jokes while stuffing your face with, seriously, the best caramel corn around.
I've only been here once and never again. Only went due to a friend of mine getting free tickets. Been invited many times after but I just won't go again.
It's definitely a hole in the wall. Everything is just over priced as well. It's your typical comedy club with seating and all that, you're tightly squeezed in next to other patrons.
Only go if it's free even then it might not even be worth it due to bad comedy.
I heard about new ownership so I decided to check it out. WOW!!! How things have changed. I attended the New Years Eve show and had a blast. The staff were great, and the food was good. Drink prices weren't bad either. I was amazed at how quickly the new owners have turned this place around. I'm definitely going to be back and am going to bring my friends. Keep up the good work!
Review Source:I have been to Wits End several times since my first visit and always had a great time. But, here are a few tips which may help make your experience better:
*Call ahead and make a reservation. You do not have to give your credit card info, it doesn't cost you anything, and you can tell them where you want to sit (down front, stage left, etc.)
*Order your two drinks right away. Let's face it, this place is understaffed. But, that's what helps keep the ticket prices low. Don't whine, just order your drinks in twos, then you'll never have dry ice cubes.
*Get on the mailing list! You'll get info about special shows that are super cheap. We went to a Sunday show for only $2 per person.
*Go with a group! This place is so inexpensive compared to other comedy clubs that its easy to talk your friends into joining you. I like to get a group of <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmeetin.org&s=3be646290ef61361b878175fc39975ae624d8a842ac0d23cd8bd2e67b7821444" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://meetin.org</a> friends together and meet at Club Time Out or another restaurant/bar in the area for pre-show cocktails before carpooling over.
*Don't forget to sign the table comment card! You can win a party for like 30 of your closest friends to get in free. I've won this a few times, so I think they give them out quite liberally.
Just a few thoughts :) If you go, I hope you have as much fun as we do!
The talent at this club is alright... of course I didn't expect much to being with considering it was a hole in the wall.
The food/drinks are overpriced and there was a mandated 2 item minimum per person and automatic 18% tip added. This could have been because my friend won a free night at the club and it was some sort of promo night or  recently changed, I don't know?
Seating has always been tight, cramped and awkward... even for a comedy club.
I would have probably bought more than two items on my own and tipped more than 18%, but just because it was annoyingly and strictly enforced, I bought the two cheapest things on the menu and didn't tip beyond the 18%.
I went to Wits End because a girl at work had free tickets... it's a good thing I didn't have to pay to get in!!!
First and the worst thing about it was the service, and I can't blame it on the server because she was the only one working when nearly every table was sat. I've been there I know how bad that sucks, it's more of a poor reflection on management.
Which brings me to my second thing, I don't even know if they have managers there, but if so they are horrible!!! I was with a large group of people so we were sure to tell our server who was on what tab so she didn't have to deal with it later. Still, every tab had an 18% gratuity added on top of it.
The gratuity wouldn't have bothered me if the service was decent, but as I said it wasn't! I paid $4.50 for a bottle of Bud Light!!! REALLY?!?!?! Then when we specifically ordered a round of lemon drop SHOTS we were each given a martini. When I'm being charged $4.50 for my Bud Light the last thing I want to do is pay $9 for a martini when I ordered a $6 shot. Before even sipping the martini's we made the server aware of the mistake and asked her to take them back if we were going to be paying for martini's she said it wasn't a problem, apologized, and went on her merry way. A member of my group ordered food and had to physically walk back into the kitchen after waiting over 30 mins for it to come out and reminding the server about it.
Being a 1 star review I'm sure you can imaging where this is going... we ended up paying for the martini's and the food. When I went out to the front to ask for a manager the door man stopped me and asked if I had paid my tab. The rest of my party was still sitting at the table and I couldn't leave the area until the tab was paid. I didn't even have my purse with me it was at the table!!! We never got to speak to a manager and the situation was never resolved.
I will say that the last comedian was pretty funny, the first two... not so much. Overall, this place was a waste of time and money and I'll never be returning. I would only recommend this club to someone who is willing to put up with horrible service and pay an 18% gratuity for it.
I went to this club to see my little brother perform some stand up, so it doesn't matter how bad this place was, if he does stand up there again, I'll be patronizing it again.
Which is highly unfortunate since I didn't like this place very much. It is pretty much a hole in the wall in the middle of Westminster, next to the nearly extinct Westminster Mall.
I have nothing against holes in the wall, but this place is just sort of unkempt and you never really forget you are in a strip mall in suburbia. The seating, as with most comedy clubs is incredibly tightly packed and one may tend towards claustrophobia if you have a personal bubble of more than 5" on either side.
As with all comedy clubs, the beer and food were incredibly overpriced and underwhelming. I ordered chili cheese fries and got canned chili and lava hot nacho cheese atop chunks of potatoes that were supposed to be fries. Really, they resembled the fries I got with my elementary school cafeteria on hamburger day. Thick and soft and chewy.
And, honestly, $4.50 for a bottle of Bud Light??? It was ridiculous.
The wait staff was very friendly, however, my server forgot to put my food order in. When I asked half an hour later, she gasped and had the food out to me in 5 minutes.
One thing I found bothersome, was when they brought me my ridiculous bill, they automatically added 18% gratuity even though it was just me on the bill. I gave them my card to run and when they brought back the receipt, the server had already written in the tip amount on the receipt. The odd thing is, she would have received a better tip from me since I always tip at least 20%.
I just find it incredibly rude to mandate tipping when the party is not obscenely large and it felt like they were over stepping boundaries to say that everyone gets charged 18% gratuity.
So, unless someone you know or adore is performing here, I would not recommend this place.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the headliner last night sucked. Denver's local talent had me laughing harder.
