I was not let down and had a great time watching a hilarious line up of comics. My favorite was Crystal Marie(also easy on the eyes). There's a 2 drink minimum which is fine and I had a few delicious beers while laughing. I like the seating arrangement which is never too far from the live stage. I took a taxi there, so can't comment on parking and took a bus home(#2 on sunset goes to UCLA which was really convenient). I prepaid my ticket online and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended for live stand up comedy.

It's a very big room that can sit a lot of people. I was able to see even though I was further towards the back. The way the stage is set, you'll be able to see no Matter where you go. My gripe with every comedy club is that it should really be a two item requirement and not two drinks. I don't drink and I don't want to justify having to buy two water bottles. The food item is limited but still have options. Bathroom was clean. It was a good time.

Nude Comedy LA is a local small theater group that not only offers amazing entertainment, but practices all-inclusiveness, and body positivity as well. In addition to comedy nights, they also offer karaoke, open mic, various events via sponsors, and refreshments including wine!! Refreshments are cash preferred Niambi the goddess mc/hostess with the mostest and expecting mother-to-be is amazing! Great opener and all-around entertainer. Didn't get a chance to chat with her after the show but she's good vibes times ten. The parking in the area is very much street with both residential and metered spots down and around Tujunga Ave between Moorpark and Woodbridge. They do have restrooms inside though theme nights and shows don't typically run too long. Allen Levin, the owner, is a saint fielding calls for questions and managing sales and lineups. Definitely had a great and positive experience with NCLA and would attend again.

Glad this place closed down! The business owner (who doubled as an acting teacher) encouraged his…read moreimpressionable students (myself included) to join this "extracurricular activity." Although we were all technically legal adults, I still think there is something very sleazy about an authority figure in his 40s swaying 18 and 19 year old aspiring actors to perform nude with him. Of course, he tailored his messaging toward empowerment-- all bodies are great bodies, and all bodies are welcome. The reality, however, was that most of these students were recent L.A. arrivals with little working knowledge of the entertainment industry. It's hard not to recognize the power imbalances at play and potential vulnerabilities being exploited. Having said that, I will not disparage the talent that came out of these shows, and I will commend the owner's rules regarding privacy (no cameras allowed) and hygiene (towel is required).

Once I was healed, I registered for a class, and the class was where I learned the hard way this isn't something I can do. I have a learning disability (diagnosed when I was young) and between that and some OCD, when I went to class I was focusing as much as I could on everything the man teaching it had to say, but because of my issues and trying to keep up with it I eventually started feeling light headed and dizzy, which can happen to me in circumstances like this. I did the best I could to absorb as much info as I could but it moved too fast for me to, and consequentially I flubbed the proceeding group exercises badly and it was clear the rest of the class was on the same page and because of my issues I was not and I could bring them down a bit. So I knew pretty quickly that this wasn't a good idea and I wouldn't be able to fully excel in it, and then I emailed the admin email for UCB explaining this and seeing about a possible partial refund and they left it on read without responding which means they'll keep my $525 because they can. I already know what their first response to this will be- that terms were made clear in the beginning there are no refunds so I admit that I am acting like I should be an exception here (maybe, maybe not) but I just want this to reach some people thinking of enrolling to know that if things don't work out for some reason, you will indeed walk away without getting your money back so keep that in mind.

Laughs were had, easy to check in, servise was solid. Servixe what quick and friendly. Cons: they have swag items on the menu at the table but won't allow you to purchase it at the table. Instead they direct you to purchase after the show, which is just too chaotic. The only other item is the flying bugs and mosquitos. My legs ended up getting ate up by thos damn mosquitos so here's a pro tip... dont wear shorts! Until next time

Real mad at the comedy store…read more First, we bought tickets to see Tiffany Haddish. She is an idol of mine. Her sense of humor is off the chain. But last night she was not on her game. She wasn't prepared. She wasn't funny. And she kept asking the audience if they had questions. Now I realize this is not the comedy store's fault. After all, she is a superstar. But what is their fault is that I called ahead and asked if Sunset Boulevard was open after a Watermain break. And they assure me that it was. Well, it wasn't. Which made me 45 minutes late for the show. So the Stage seats that I bought we're not available. And I was relegated to seats near the wall, where the talent was never facing me so you couldn't hear what they were saying. Their voices were muffled and you could only hear half the jokes. And that is the fault of the comedy store. They should have a better sound system that's not muffled so everybody in the audience can hear even if you're near the wall. It's so annoying to be within blocks of your target venue and still be 45 minutes late because of construction. Which they should be well aware of. So my evening was not at all pleasant. I was late for the show. The show sucked. We left halfway through.

Ended up ordering a drink and a dessert each to meet the 2 item minimum. We got the cheesecake the and dessert nachos and both were excellent. As for drinks, I ended up getting a spicy margarita mocktail and my partner got a regular margarita. Our drinks took forever to arrive, and when it did, I realized that my mocktail had alcohol in it. Since the drink was kinda sweet, you dont really taste the alcohol at first, but I started getting the Asian flush so there was definitely alcohol in it. Not a big deal for me since I dont mind the alcohol, but I'd imagine this could be serious for people who are avoiding alcohol (Allergies, pregnancy etc). Other than that, the venue is great. Intimate vibes, great setting, clean establishment, good AC :P Will return again!

Apparently, getting a seat at The Ice House is a game of musical chairs--and we lost. We were…read moreasked to move THREE separate times, and each time we cooperated without causing a problem. Then Penny approached us and said, "Get up and come with me." No explanation. No warning. We followed her, only to discover we were being kicked out. When paying customers are removed from a venue, I would think explaining what they supposedly did wrong would be the bare minimum. We were given no clear reason. Being shuffled around three times was frustrating enough, but being escorted out without an explanation was completely unnecessary. We paid for a night of laughs, not a game of musical chairs followed by a surprise eviction. The comedians may deserve five stars, but based on the way we were treated, the customer service gets one. I should have known the night was going to be bad when we purchased tickets from the extremely rude girl at front desk. The Ice House should hire happy people not miserable ones in a job with no real way to get ahead in life.

This time i was bored and hardly laughed at all. Kept wondering how these skits made it to the show.

It's located on the 4th floor of the Ovation Hollywood mall and it's actually a very luxe comedy club, at least compared to the ones I've been to on Sunset Blvd. We were given a drink/food menu and the minimum is 2 drinks/person. The food and drinks are average. I ordered two iced teas and was a little thrown because the first one was significantly larger in size compared to the second one... Did I get scammed? But otherwise, show was great. We saw total of three comedians - 2 opening acts and the main one. I was also given the option to be seated right up front where all the action was.
