    Look, the headliner is usually someone that you've vaguely heard of and better than average.

    I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard! Anthony Rodia was freaking hilarious! Goumba…read moreJohnny opened for Anthony and both included the audience in their standup. I've never been to the Stress Factory before but it merits a return visit. The ticket prices were reasonable, there is a parking garage right next to the venue and plenty of restaurants to grab a bite before the show. They require you to purchase 2 items during the show, but you can get a bottle of water and something else. I had a yummy lemon drop martinis (ok, I had 2) and some candied nuts (warm and freshly roasted). They also have plenty of food and desserts. The servers really hustle and are adept at maneuvering through the crowd to keep you hydrated and fed. Apparently, when it's warmer out, they have a bar area outside before the show. Good times! Go with friends and laugh your ass off!

It is a highly respected comedy club that has hosted many of the greats, some of which are pictured along their walls. Prior to this visit, I had tickets to see Charlie Murphy around 2014, and I can say he was genuinely funny. I was recently there on Wednesday Jan 14th for their New Talent Showcase and truly enjoyed myself. The comedians were all so different but the lineup didn't feel choppy and thrown together. There were a lot of first timers that really had the crowd on their feet by the end of their set. I know the Stress Factory is known for their big names, but the New Talent Showcase is something special. It felt like a poetry slam night but for comedians. There was a sense of community, no heckling, all love. The service was great. We moved from one table to another on the opposite side of the stage, yet there was no hiccup in our service. Our server was super nice, and our appetizers hit the table pretty quickly. I ordered chicken quesadillas and a sampler that included mozzarella cheese, chicken fingers, and curly fries. Everything was good thankfully since I came straight from work and was starving. Lastly, I had a German draft beer to wash it all down. It was a good night!

I'm talking from the doormen, to the person releasing our tickets, to the bartenders, to the people seating us, to the waitstaff - never a problem.

I arrived 30 minutes before show start and the Will Call line moved rather quickly. The line to get into the showroom was longer than Will Call. I purchased reserved seating and once I got inside, one of the attendants walked us to our seats. There's a two item minimum per person in the showroom, but it doesn't matter what you buy. The waiters walk around periodically to ask what you'd like to order and bring your check closer to the end of the show. We went to see Vinny Guadagnino and he was hilarious. His two openers were awesome as well. There's a parking garage right next door and also a good amount of metered street parking nearby, too.

    My boyfriend and I stopped by for a sold out Friday night show. Check in was fairly quick and…read moresimple. The room was completely packed and servers were under staffed. I read a couple of other reviews noting that service was chaotic and that was certainly my experience. After we were seated, it took a while for the waitress to come by. The table next to us told us that they had been waiting 45 minutes for the waitress take their order. It seems like we were placed in an area that was forgotten by the staff. Anyway after we placed our order and got our food & drinks, we never saw our waitress again. She came by at the end to give us the bill but didn't check on us for the entire show. We didn't even get a chance to order our second drink as part of the 2 drink minimum since she never gave us the opportunity lol thankfully there was no fee! For food we split the chicken tenders and fries ($24). Pretty expensive but surprisingly a decent portion with 6 chicken strips. Not to the fault of the venue but there was an incredibly rude and disruptive group behind us which was distracting to the show and really took away from the experience. It was disappointing that staff didn't do anything to intervene and tell her to be quiet. She was talking the whole time and her phone rang twice during the show!! Overall I'd probably come back for another show and mostly enjoyed my time. But at the same time I'm wary after the semi chaotic experience

I haven't laughed so much that my cheeks hurt. What great performance. Drinks were delicious and we ordered the loaded French fries. They were delicious.

I thought a…read morecomedy club would be a good choice and was surprised to see via Google that there was a comedy spot in the NE since we didn't want to travel into center city. The Comedy Cabaret is a small venue attached to the Ramada Inn right on the Blvd near Woodhaven. We went on a Saturday night and it was 15.00/person with a 2 drink minimum. It's not so much of a club but rather a small room right off the hotel bar. The room holds maybe 75 people if it's full but it was a light crowd when we were there---maybe 30 people tops. The comedy itself was a mixed bag. There were maybe 7 or 8 comedians leading up to 2 headliners. Of those 7 or 8, half were good the other half, not so much. One was so bad it was painful. He had a series of one-liners that were supposed to be witty but all of his "jokes" were met with deafening silence. And the small audience was kind of unruly at times---talking amongst themselves, using phones---rude behavior that the performers to their credit, took in stride. Simplee Dee and Bill Chaing were the headliners that evening and both were really funny and they were really appreciative of people coming out to support live comedy. If you're looking for upscale, look elsewhere but we enjoyed the show well enough that we would return again.

This is a Must every time we come to NYC, and we have shared the experience with friends, who end up loving it as much as we do. We've been to different time shows and no matter which it's always a great time. All comedians performing always bring their A-Game and have us laughing all night long. To the point that we are repeating jokes the next day and still laughing. You get to see at least 5 different comedians, and sometimes even "bigger names" show up trying out new material, or just because they're in town. Reservations are really recommended, especially if you are visiting, as it does get sold out, and even thought there's a wait-list line, it get's sold out quick and not guaranteed you will get in. And, believe me, this is not something you want to miss. I just got back and can't wait for my next time there!

    We were so glad to get in via standby list for a Saturday 1045p show! We didn't have a reservation…read more STANDBY: We had just missed the 9p show and only 2 people were successful via standby. A guy at the door said people usually line up a little before one hour before the show to get on the list and staff members come at one hour before. I got in line (first in line lol) at 9p and people really started lining up around ~930p. The staff came around 945 to allow us to scan the QR code (must present ID) to reserve a spot in line. You only need one person per party to scan the QR code. He told us to come back at 1045 (no need to be in an ordered line) to see if our names would be called. After they let in people with reservations they returned to the standby line. I'd say maybe ~12 people got in that time. The staff member said people usually have more standby success for later shows. THE SHOW: The show was spectacular. They understandably ask that you put your phones or Apple Watches in a sealed envelope that you keep with you during the show. We saw five acts - 3 were strong, 2 were weaker. The weaker 2 didn't bomb but we just didn't enjoy as much. There is a cover charge + 2 item minimum per person. The item can be food or a nonalcoholic beverage, so no worries if you don't drink alcohol. Service was good. It's a cramped space but not uncomfortable and I think there's really no bad seat in the house. Such a fun night. :)
