Comedy Club DC was a fun atmosphere with energized hosts, okay drinks, descent food, and comedy acts that range from amateur to pretty experienced. Because this is a good spot for amateur comedians, don't expect this to be a Netflix special comic show. At the same time, that doesn't mean you won't see acts that will make you laugh out loud. The food come out in large potions, so you can definitely get full here. In my opinion, the chicken quesadilla is one of the best dishes served. It's filled with a variety of peppers and has a perfect amount of chicken and cheese. The burgers are pretty good as well, but the fries seem very basic and taste like pure grease. However, you can definitely go big here for dinner with a steak or herb roasted chicken for example. When it comes to the food service, it does seem a little too long to be served, but hey, the drinks come out quick! The mixed drink options are okay. There are a number of house specialities, but expect the typical dive bar drink quality when watching comedy here. read more

I didn't necessarily have the highest hopes for the comedy show, but I went in with an open mind. Unfortunately it was back to back cringe worthy comedians with quite similar material that really wasn't all that funny. Maybe that's a bit harsh, there may have been 2-3 comedians that were pretty decent. There's room for a lot of improvement with the decor... A LOT! Drinks wise, it was okay. But it was a bit gross when the person behind the bar used her hands to pick up the limes that were going in my drink. As the other reviews mention - don't get the VIP ticket. It makes no difference with the seating... And the gift is one free ticket for 2 to a future show ... Cheeky!!! read more

Comedy Club DC - Drink Menu Comedy Club DC/Moonlight DC - Comedy Clubs Near Me

Absolutely unacceptable and illegal! We booked 8 tickets and I called to request an ASL interpreter for the show as someone in our party is Deaf. Initially, the man seemed responsive and asked if I had any suggestions, so l emailed him multiple ASL agencies. However, I quickly received a call back informing me that they would not accommodate my request and would issue a refund instead. I repeatedly informed him that this was illegal according to the ADA and requested a written response to my email for documentation. He refused to avoid a paper trail. This is very disappointing and shameful. I would never recommend this place. read more

Super funny comedians and great atmosphere! Lots of fun and much needed laughter. Thank you, we will be back!

With covid and every day stress, I wanted some good laughs so I went to Comedy Club DC with my friends. Let's start with bar service. Every item I asked for was not available because the bartender didn't have time to make the drinks, even the ones listed in the menu! No to a rum punch, no to amaretto sours, pretty much no to anything I asked for. I was however, able to get a drink halfway through the show. Food. We didn't have dinner because Comedy Ckub DC offered food. We arrived as early as possible and even called in advanced to ask. We got menus but no one took our order. My suggestion? Planning on eating prior or after the show! Also, grab drinks as soon as you get there or during the show when drink orders are slower. The show lasted a lot longer than expected and we were starving! Unfortunately most places were closed by the time the show ended. The jokes were ok...some were actually offensive but some were funny. It wasn't as interactive as I had hope it to be and the comedians kept using the same 2-3 people to interact with. read more

DO NOT BUY THE "GUARANTEED SEATS" THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE. Would give 3 stars if they had told us that instead of just trying to skim the extra $5 (there's no "gift" at the highest tier either). Other than, I've done worse things with $20, but I've also done much better things with $20. A few of the comedians were pretty funny but the others bombed thoroughly and one just sort of mumbled for a bit then walked off stage. An okay place to get drunk with friends and watch some local talent. read more

Comedians were not funny. Don't pay more for "guaranteed seating." Everyone sits wherever there's a free spot - they don't check. Come early if you want a good spot. Would not come back again. read more

It was a packed venue in the heart of Adams Morgan's, with some funny comics. Stick to the beer and eat before you go.

This place is a scam. Do not order VIP tickets- you pay extra for a gift which is a voucher to come back. The comedians are not even remotely funny. I would rather listen to a random drunken idiot babble on a microphone- it would be funnier. I can't explain it was not funny and also so awkward because of the nature of the jokes. The drinks are expensive and very average. Nothing fancy. The food was not good. We left after about an hour. The place is small too and very dark. Feels very dirty inside. Do not go here sober read more

Chad Ridgely has a very dry sense of humor and professional delivery. He pokes fun at everyday situations like traffic jams, divorce and travel. Thank goodness his comedy is refreshingly understandable. My husband and I are senior citizens and enjoyed Chad's routine as much as the '20 somethings. read more

This was perhaps the most embarrassingly un-funny series of jokes i've ever heard in my life. First of all it was their anniversary show, and the MC/announcer was dressed in a huge Gumby costume, using a high-pitched voice making crude aggressive jokes that were simply uncomfortable. By the end of the night, we were convinced he was cracked out on something more than weed. There were like 10 comics (maybe more) who went on, and the majority were unprepared, unprofessional, and embarrassing. One girl was so high that she just stopped telling jokes and started rambling about things that came into her mind. Another girl would tell really short jokes and paced around asking what should she talk about next every 2 minutes. Some of the guys spoke so low that you couldn't hear them. Any racist/sexist/prejudice jokes told were extremely awkward and had poor delivery. A lot of jokes repeated between comedians ("3-5 business days", game of thrones, uber, masturbating). I can't get over how bad it was. There were a couple guys who had more potential / were pretty funny. Can't remember their names, but the guy with the lisp, the latina woman (Gloria, maybe), and the stoner dude with the long hair were all pretty funny and memorable. Also, its a complete scam. We paid $5 extra for guaranteed seating since we knew we were going to arrive with 5 minutes to spare. I told the hostess, and she gave me an awkward excuse that since we didn't get there early, we weren't guaranteed seats. Homegirl, that's the entire reason we BOUGHT guaranteed seat tickets. Not to mention, the drinks were insanely overpriced, which was rough considering we NEEDED them to get through the show. In the end, the show ran over its time and we left before it ended because it was unbearable. Do not waste your night and money here unless they get their act together. read more

I can't believe I spent over $250 for 6 people. 3 of us had one drink. 2 of us had 1 orange crush that was terrible and we were charged $13 each same price as a long island ice tea. No food, didn't even offer food. Really really disappointed in the service, the drinks and about 1/2 of the comedy. Save your time and money much better stuff to do in Adams Morgan. read more

Enjoyed the night of comic relief. Was nice to have a variety of comics. Great atmosphere and amazing host! read more

Comedy Club DC - Stage art - Comedy Clubs Near Me

very funny comics, good atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks! my friends and I had an amazing time, will come again!

I was there for not even 10 minutes and I think I already blew out my ear drums. The music is WAY TOO LOUD!!! it's not even like club loud it's like standing in front of a full blown speakers! It's was so loud that I was not able to enjoy the rest of the show because my head was killing me from how loud everything was. read more

The comedians could not be less funny if they tried. I'd rather listen to Jeffrey dahmer murder people than hear the word vomit come out of their mouths. The bar tenders couldn't be slower. I'm not sure if they're hammered or just have 2 brain cells, but there were 4 people sitting at the bar and it took 15 minutes to get a single drink. Don't go here. read more

We went to the Saturday night comedy showcase, and have to say it was one of the best comedy nights I've been to-a ton of performers, range of different styles, and I'd say about three or four seriously funny standouts who did interesting, physical acts that were both thought provoking and hilarious. Yes, we bought reserved seats and got there at 9 and there were no reserved seats, but people, chill, you paid $6.50 for your 'reserved seats,' a buck fifty extra. That's called not a big deal, and at that price, this night is a total bargain. The bar is kind of chaotic but again, chill people, you're here to laugh and hang out, and this place delivers. Diverse performers (could have been more female comics tho), diverse crowd, this place is a win. read more

I felt apprehensive to go here after noticing all the 2 star reviews, but I'd already booked tickets. Definitely was better than I thought. The comedians were a mixed bag but that almost added to the comedy. The host was great. Some of the comedians were hilarious. Others just made us uncomfortably look at each other and wonder what we just watched. The reviews about the place being freezing are true, however they are serving alcohol now. The only parts I didn't really care for were Gumby jumpy on the stage before the show (he set the bar realll low for the night) and the headliner, who's biggest joke was that he was somehow the headliner. He reminded me of someone who smashes bottles and starts fights at house parties. He seemed to know he was bad because he has a ready made line for hecklers. Overall, would recommend, especially if the prices stay under $10. I got reserved seating but I'm not sure what that means since seats are assigned according to when you arrive. We got there 20 minutes early just in case. Don't sit in the first row unless you want to be the butt joke of all the comedians who are lacking material. read more

Absolutely horrible. Worst comedy show I've ever been to. 2 stars for the venue. 1 star for the comedy. The venue is terrible: it's not really meant to be a stage. It's a bar where they crammed chairs together and left no passage. And people kept walking back and forth to the bar making everyone move in the process. And then the people at the bar were loud, talking and having conversations to the point where the comedy was hard to hear. Although you wouldnt really miss much, and "comedy" should be in quotes, but more on that later. But the staff wasn't saying anything to the loud crowd having conversations by the bar. Again it felt like a bar and not a place for comedy. And I don't know if they're being cheap but we realized that the staff at the door, checking your tickets, and seating you were actually the performers themselves. Now as for the "comedy", absolute worst I've ever been to and I've been to several from paid events to free open mics. And the worst open mics I've ever been to were so much funnier than this show. And it's not cheap! It's $18 a ticket. And it's loooong (we left after 2.5 hours). And it's boooring. In the two and a half hours we were there there were only 2-3 Good comedians performing for a total of 15 mins. I have no idea how they put the lineup together, but I don't think they made any effort. read more

Bob was awesome host, and very accommodating even with people who were rude before the show started. Winston Hodges was funny , Paige Campbell was hilarious . Only thing that sucked was the bathroom for woman's did not lock and only one toliet. Small but cozy space for comedians not to have to holler across the venue justvto be heard but bang for your buck. read more

Comedy Club DC - Comedy Clubs Near Me

Well.... Tried hard to like it. People were very nice. Food menu was crazy bizarre (tavern + Indian) and drink prices were wicked expensive. Like $10 for LESS than a shot, in a weed smelling skater joint. Vibe had good energy but plan to spend a crap ton of $$$ on mediocre comedy read more

Hate to be rude, but don't waste your time coming here. The tickets are free for a reason. Probably one of the roughest comedy shows I've ever been too. The only good thing about the place was that the drinks are somewhat cheap. But the only reason they were is because we pulled up the menu online to show our waitress that the wine says it's $6, as she was trying to charge $10... read more

I'll give it 3 stars for the couple of gem comics who went on. Bought the tickets that were $10 more expensive for a gift and guaranteed seating. While they technically honored the seating - we were in front of a wall and industrial sized fan they didn't bother moving so we couldn't see a thing. Never got the gift we paid for which is probably for the best since I don't know I want to remember this experience. Some of the comics were great some were eh. Would not recommend. read more

Comedy Club DC - The view - Comedy Clubs Near Me

We paid for p per ticket. Also had the option of buying guaranteed seating-dont bother with that-the show is not worth it at all-we went 10 minutes early and got good Seats (bu their standard). The comedians were not good at all. Seemed like they just put anyone on stage. The host was the funniest person on stage. Bottom line-don't go read more

OKAY I never write reviews I'm usually way too lazy, but this really really needed to be reviewed. My husband and I went to this comedy club this past weekend on Saturday night and out of the 10 or so comedians, one was actually really funny - but other than that 7 minutes of laughter we were fairly horrified. Apparently this place lost their liquor license so only had 7up to serve which I think was actually a good thing because if folks were drunk at this show it would have probably become nuts. Several comedians were so drunk and/or high that they made ZERO sense. Just 10 minutes of rambling, not even trying to make an attempt at comedy and it was incredibly awkward and eventually annoying that they weren't even trying for comedy. The host Im not sure what was going on she spent a while just asking audience members what their zodiac was one by one with no punch line. That was it. That was the joke. She just asked 12 and said "alright AWESOME you guys! Yayyy!" The last guy they put on was really what inspired me to actually write a review and warn anyone to never come. This was the longest act and was the most horrifying and bizarre 20 minutes of live performance I've ever seen. Screaming in the microphone nonsense. Running around yelling "winner winner chicken dinner!!!" For no reason. Yelling at the audience for not laughing, Yelling at the front row for not laughing. Screaming some more. Getting on his stomach and yelling doing some kind of break dance when it remained silent. No pity laughter from anyone simply because it was so baffling. I looked over at the host or other comedians to see if they were just as weirded out and the host was typing furiously into her cellphone grinning. He went on to shout nonsensically into the microphone and point at folks and say "I GET IT I GET IT I GET IT WOOOOO!!! WHERE DO YOU HAVE SEX?! WINNER WINNER!! THEY"RE NOT AFRAID YES I GET IT!!! LET'S BREAK IT DOWN CAAHAAA!" My assumption is maybe he owned the place and had some rich parents that bought it for him? That was the only theory we could come up with. The guy next to me looked like he was watching a puppy get tortured. I can't believe we totally blew $40 at this place. We get that sometimes jokes fall flat but these comedians were not even TRYING any attempt at jokes, the intro was some guy in a gumbi costume jumping around yelling and may have actually been that last guy to go on. My husband and I had to get quite a few drinks after because we were so weirded out by the whole performance and needed to not end on that note. Sorry I usually am a huge supporter of live comedy, even if they are not super hilarious because at least they are pursuing something they love and are trying to find their feet in comedy. 9 out of 10 fo these performers were not that. I felt scammed. read more

I was embarrassed for the host of this comedy club - well, she must have been embarrassed as well because they couldn't find her for part of it. Maybe 1 out of the 12 comics were funny, but beyond that the acts were simple, weird, and just not funny. There were extend periods of time with zero laughter and people just looking it each other. Oh, did I mention that there's no alcohol? Waste of time and money. read more

I bought tickets to their dc comedy showcase. Tickets are cheap because its showcasing local comedians. So dont expect to have amazing bits and jokes. I got the VIP ticket for $1 more. It comes with reserved seating and a "gift." Of course like other reviews they didnt give us the gift during the show nor at the end of the show. So I made sure to ask the worker for the gift. It was obvious he knew the VIP ticket came with a gift, but questioned to see if their was any free tickets to give out. Free tickets were given to come back. I dont think i would repurchase tickets to come here again. So long story short, dont buy VIP tickets, just get the reserved seating ticket unless you want to haggle for gift down. read more

I am just kicking myself for not having read these reviews first! I agree with the one star ones! Unfortunately we did not enjoy ourselves. The host was probably the best comic of the evening. Some of the comics cut their acts short because their jokes didn't work, many lacked total confidence, and the majority of them just focused on discussing sex and swearing through most of their routine. I'm not a prude, but using foul language and discussing bad sex as the basis of your routine isn't necessary to be funny. Don't waste your money here. read more

This was the worst comedy club I have ever experienced. I almost always enjoy the show, as I am not that picky about comedians as long as they are at least mildly amusing but these people were not funny and were offensive at the same time. I should have asked for a refund but I was in a hurry to get out of there. read more

Tight, dirty place. They played music incredibly loud, at one point the microphone died. And out of 10 comics only 2 were ok. It was extremely loud. One of the less fun comedy shows I've been to. Did I mention it was LOUD. so loud for no reason. Loud. read more

I went to to the comedy club with my boyfriend because we just wanted to have a good laugh. However, that was not our experience. Out all the comedians only one made us laugh. Some were okay, some chuckles here and there. The rest just didn't seem to click or make us laugh. There was a point the whole audience didn't want to participate with one of the comedians that my boyfriend and I decided to participate because we felt bad. We regretted it after he said some sexually offensive and we just wanted to leave after that. Keep in mind we tried to be open minded about the jokes, but the show started too intense and some jokes seem googled. I might be no comedy expert, but I've been to 7 comedy shows (no here) and I never felt the way I did here. We left and decided to listen to the Jazz group playing down stairs instead even though our $20 were gone. Other than that I gave it here 2 stars because of the one comidan that made us laugh and the bartender who was very nice to us. We now laugh about the experience because it was so bad, but I guess that's the good side. read more

I was at the club recently and had a terrific time! The comics were great and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. The comics had a lot of energy and kept us all laughing. And the location can't be beat; it's right in the middle of one of the largest nightlife areas in DC. read more

Went to a show there on Saturday night...paid $10 a seat. Worst comedy show I've ever seen. The host was absolutely not funny at all. Embarrassingly bad. Seemingly unaware of how bad he was bombing. Comics ranged from mildly amusing (being kind), to kind of funny. Btw, screaming into the mic and almost blowing the house speakers isn't going to make lousy comedy funny. The funniest part of the night was the two female hecklers sitting behind me. Comics were drinking, including the host, and it showed in the acts. One exception, older black gentleman (apologies, I didn't catch his name) was hilarious. Asian comic was ridiculously racist. This guy's whole act was centered around saying things that if you changed the joke to refer to black people or latinos, he would have had his ass handed to him. After spending the entire night there, even after the headliners finished, (wanting to support the late night comics), my girlfriend and I were accosted by a drunk comic who wanted a picture with us but was too drunk to actually pull it off so we left. Note: the female headliner let the hecklers ruin her act. She went into the audience and had a very not funny series of exchanges with them. Super uncomfortable. Really bad experience read more
