    First day of comedy camp
    Brett J.

    I was looking for a camp for my son and thought I had found it... instead I found an experience! Here in this little gem of a theater they hold a life building workshop for kids and they call it a camp of improv. I tell you now... this is no camp! It is a building block of relationships, fast thinking, reacting, emotional growth, and camaraderie! My son loved the camp, the teachers, and the theater. For a week he was enthralled... excited and couldn't wait to go. I have to admit the first day I dropped him off I was a bit worried... the theater is a bit sketchy, the area is a bit iffy, and the program director was almost to nice! But honestly... it is wonderful! Kristin the leader of this camp is just awesome! She is for real... and this is the real deal. Unlike any camp I have sent my son to before... and glad for it! At the end the whole troup puts on a show, they also did a 7 min movie they previewed for us all, and a bit of improv live and in person. It was hilarious! I wish I had known how good this was going to be... I would have signed him up for every week they had. I can't tell you how great this was... if your looking for something different... exciting... with a bit of life tossed in... and a healthy dose of fun... well here it is! Try this out! You won't regret it.

I could have parked right out front but I chose a Well lit area 10 minutes away. Gave me a chance to see the area. Comedy shows in general are never my style, nothing I find too much enjoyment in, however, I was willing to give things a big swing while I was on vacation. I was seated right up against the stage and the players gave it their all for their three or four minute sets with the usual slut jokes/ fat Jokes / high school jokes/ a couple of tries at some political jokes, but mostly everyone was that friend from high school that sometimes got it right and sometimes try too hard. But that is what open night technically is! A place to try out the material the opportunity to seek and find and grow and I think we can all appreciate that. applause to everyone who performed. Definitely some real laughs in there. Ari Matti made an appearance. How can we find the names of the performers? Was there a list I didn't get? Would love to follow them. In the back patio, before the show there's a food truck I think, and a bar. Some plastic patio type furniture and I didn't hear of any drink minimum, and there is a food menu too. They take your order from your seat so you can enjoy every minute.

We loved the show, had some food because I was so hungry, but it was good. The main event was absolutely hilarious. Even when it rained, we still had a great time. When the show ended, they evacuated everyone to make space for the next show, which I understand as it's business, but I would've liked to stay and mingle a little bit. Its hard when places are small and can only accommodate a specific number of people. However, the experience was great and we had a great time. Laughed a lot! It was definitely more the experience than the actual location.

Great reviews, great location, and it's BYOB. Tickets were $20 for front row or $15 for GA seating. We bought GA, as we figured people sitting in the front row would probably be used as part of the show and that wasn't the vibe for us. We arrived 10 min before the scheduled start of the show and quickly found seats in the 3rd row. I liked the way they set up all the seats, making it easy for everyone to have a clear view no matter where you sat. The show started a little behind schedule (~10 min) but that was ok. We used the time to use the bathroom one last time and settle into our seats. There were 6 comics and all were funny!! I enjoyed the show they set up a lot. One thing I will say is that 2 of my friends had been to EAC a few months ago and recognized 2-3 of the comics, and they were using the same exact material because my friends new pretty much every joke they were about to say. This is not an issue, but does make me wonder about how often I can come back to EAC, given that it may be the same comics with the same set. Either way, I had a great time!

Every party was required a 2 drink minimum per person. It's a pretty pricey experience compared to other comedy clubs in town, but you pay for the name. The only hiccup I had was the line. You're advised to arrive 45mins - 1 hour early, but you just stand on the street most of the time. You can only enter the actual line when it's almost time for your show, so arriving early is not for the purpose of getting good seats. They didn't actually let us get in line until 10mins before our show. All GA seats were actually just fine. The purpose is to make sure you have enough time to get through security, but that took just a couple minutes. Would I come back? Probably not unless there was someone specific in the lineup I had to see. It was definitely something nice to experience at least once.

I was on high alert & prepared for a slightly scary experience walking to the Mothership location. I'm glad that I was prepared for a rough environment - but my experience was nothing but pleasant. There was a crowd of staff members & security present when we lined up to enter. I never felt unsafe for a moment. Staff members were super friendly, helpful & welcoming. After a short wait outside, we were escorted in & led to our table. Seating was very tight & I was halfway sitting on the lap of the fellow next to me. I could not move & that's saying a lot since I'm quite skinny. Our server arrived & took drink orders. Since my husband & I don't drink, we just ordered seltzers ($4 each-very reasonable). She returned swiftly & without disrupting the show. There is a 2 drink minimum per guest which is clearly disclosed when purchasing tickets. There was a good variety of comics. Three comics I'd never heard of though others seemed familiar with them. Tony Henchcliffe then did a set & he totally played off the audience which was great. Joe Rogan followed Tony & must've done an hour or so which included a 15 minute "ask me anything" set for the audience. This was the highlight of the show to me. The questions were so random & unexpected. I am a big supporter of "no phones" at live shows. I wish there was a clock somewhere in the room. And I wanted to take photos inside the entrance and funny enough- the women's restroom. The wallpaper was epic! Thankfully they post photos on Instagram daily so you can at least have some physical memories from your visit. We found parking directly behind the club ($20). It was only a 2 minute walk back to our car. The audience was fun and relaxed and the club has a very chill atmosphere. I definitely want to return for a "Bottom of the barrel" show one day. Overall, we had a great time. Will be back for sure.

The show is about 90 minutes, with a 5 min break halfway through. They have a bar on site, and a taqueria that's connected to their building as well. Highly recommend the taqueria, it's authentic and delicious! Absolutely recommend for locals, visitors, and those who just want to enjoy a great show in the best city in the country!
