If you are in Denver you NEED to visit RISE which has the best comedy in town. Nick Armstrong and…read moreJosh Nicols are improv veterans who have helped run multiple theaters in LA. They saw an opportunity and decided to move to Denver to run their own place. It's been a while since they took over and rebranded Voodoo Comedy and my lord they are a well oiled machine. They have a FULL bar with thirst quenching drinks, hilarious shows(I recommend BATMAN LIVE and Basement Doctors), friendly staff, and an intimate theater that is conducive for laughs. They just built state of the art classrooms and if you haven't taken an improv class it is something EVERYONE should do at least once because it will change your life. Just ask Nick, Josh, or any of the performers at the theater.

Only downside is when groups and their friends in the audience are finished they cross over into the other room where it could be better insulated for the sound, it can get distracting when the next group is still performing. Also try taking a ride share as the parking is scarce.

Been meaning to come here for…read moreawhile because I frequent Colorado Sake Co. and always see the beautiful neon sign advertising the back room. It's gorgeous!! Finally got to try the sushi on the menu (which was decent) but of course the highlight is sake. I also didn't realize they host so many special events here. Love that they advertise on the screen before showtime. Tickets were easy to find and purchase online from Denver Comedy Lounge. Mo was the show host, and she's hilarious. There was definitely a racist old man comic picking on all the Asians in the front row, which I didn't appreciate, but not sure how much of that is a reflection on the venue. Getting wait staff attention throughout the comedy show is easy with the table light. Overall it was a smooth and enjoyable experience!

Pretty expensive but SO delicious, but specially the creamsicle freeze. We should've just gotten 4 of those instead but we were kind of rushed into ordering for some reason in a super dark area. Aside from that, I don't have much to say about the show we attended, so next visit we'll have to try the food as well!

Will never come back to this venue. This review has nothing to do with the actual performances, as…read morethey're great! Huge scam to begin with, as not only do you pay to see the show but have to purchase 2 items per person before the show is over. However, that's not the part that drove me absolutely bonkers. Imagine a sold out show and EVERYONE must purchase 2 items per person, have that shit delivered to your respective seat one piece at a time and pay for it (per order). We couldn't see half the show because staff was blocking the view, we couldn't hear the other half because staff was hustling to take orders and secure payment from the guests.

This is one of my favorite comedy clubs in Denver!…read more DCU has a great variety of comedy shows. I have really enjoyed the stand up shows with a host, feature and headliner, like Chloe Radcliffe & Chris Higgins. The themed roasts are a blast! The stand up comedians dress like characters from the theme, like horror villains or Super Mario characters, and roast each other from that character's perspective. And Uncalled Four, where comedians create their own Cards Against Humanity-style "white cards" and the audience creates the "black cards" and comedians compete to be the worst person in Denver is an absolute riot! Uncalled Four even has a show after-party at Pair-a-Dice around the corner, so you can hang with the comedians and other comedy fans. The set up is sweet. All the tickets are GA, so there is an advantage to arriving when doors open to select the seat you want. This is a much better set up than Comedy Works where they seat you, ass to ass, in the order you arrive. Although, be aware, if it's a sold out show, you will be in close quarters to your neighbor. The seats are very close together, which can be challenging for us rounder folk. There are QR codes at your seat, so you can order drinks & munchies on your phone and have them delivered to where you are sitting. This is great. You don't have to wait for a server and there aren't servers roaming the aisles taking orders during the show. There is also Free Pizza available before the show. There is plenty of parking, street & paid lot. We usually go to the Thursday night shows and have never had a problem finding a free street spot on the block when arriving around the time doors open. There is also a bus stop within a block, but this is a rough neighborhood. Waiting for the bus here can be a bit...iffy. That said, if you drive, just make sure you don't have anything valuable visible in your car if you park here. Highly recommend getting to the area early and grabbing a beverage at Woods Boss before the show.

I had so much fun, I'm already thinking about when I can go back. I liked (and appreciated) that you order drinks from a QR code at your seat, and then they bring them right to you. Everyone was so nice. And the bathrooms were clean. The overall vibe of the place was great. Very well done! See you again real soon.

Walking up to the place, there were 2 older white guys who were comics or workers?They were smoking their cigs just staring with the weirdest, meanest looks. I was tempted to turn around and head back to my car. I'm glad I decided to ignore them and go in. I think the employee's name is Jack? He's a young, white guy and was already superbly friendly to the couple in front of me. When I went up to the ticket counter, super confused and anxious, he made the whole experience beyond wholesome. He turned my entire day around. It's crazy how a stranger can do that. Thank you!

Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

With…read moredoing my research online comparing 3Es and Loonies at first we thought they were had equal pros and cons. After our experience at 3Es I would say I thankful for we made this decision. Pros: The $65 VIP tickets are worth it because you get two drinks per ticket and the rotating appetizers. During our experience with a group of 6 we got 3 pretzel bites plates and 3 chicken wings plates. We were sitting directly in front of the comedian front row! Also parking with VIP tickets is great! We went through the alley and parked right at the door! Entrance was hard to kind but a staff me never came out to help us after we buzzed a button on the other doors. Also the headliner was really awesome my whole family loved it and it's great to see some big headliner here in springs and not have to travel to Denver. Also get the VIP tickets and DO show up early you get to sit in a private area and then they move you to the area where the show is. Another pro is that your own host is great because it is busy in there! It's is very clean and it looks very nice! It's modern and well decorated. Cons: Small tables for a group of six but it was manageable! Appetizers could be better. They are not the best but they were still really nice to have something to snack on! It was pretty crowded. And we were super close to stage where we kind of had to look up. We still enjoyed it but it would be nice to have more space between the table and stage

This entire experience was exactly what we wanted and they delivered. The music was perfection, Foster the People channel, one banger after the other after the other, after the other. We highly recommend this experience and we will be back when we return to Denver. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, multitalented and they offer an array of services in and aside from the venue/experience.
