It's amazing how many activities are available in this one building but I never knew about the comedy factory (it's been there for 14 years and it boggles my mind how I never knew about it). Anyways went there for my bday with a big group. I had to purchase half the tickets in advance and was able to select where we would sit, that I really liked. What I didn't like was everyone else had to pay cash for the tickets that night. The place is pretty bare and very short staffed. We were told table service would be available but after waiting around and wanting to order before the show started, I had to investigate. Turns out table service was not available and they didn't even have any menus. The bar had 1 bartender, so the line was very long and I had to go downstairs to the lounge for menus and ask for more staff to help out at the comedy show. I only got 1 menu for 13 of us and felt like I was working there and not a patron anymore. The place was unorganized, the show started a bit late, which was good for me as I was running around figuring things out. It was ridiculous, we even had to get up and make our food orders at the bar and pay each time we ordered food or drinks. Surprisingly the menu was quite extensive and the food, which was very good, was delivered to our tables. The manager was nice despite how frustrated she was. The show itself was odd, it had the MC, 3 (not 1) guest comedians and the headliner Paul Sveen. The MC and headliner were hilarious. But not sure what 2 out of 3 of the other guys were doing there, they didn't get a single laugh. Overall, the show minus the 3 guests and food were good but the level of service was terrible. I understand why the comedy strip in WEM charges more for tickets and is always packed. They need to charge more to have enough staff for table service and have the place look pretty nice, so patrons can actually sit back and relax and not feel like a chicken running around with its head cut off. read more
