Chelsea was the best server! She recommended drinks that I ended up loving! I ordered 4! That hasn't happened in 30+ years! She was attentive and so fun! read more

I totally understand the two-drink minimum if all you are doing is having drinks. Totally valid. ALSO, totally valid to charge your "bottomless" non-alcoholic drink prices IF only having drinks. But for two people who are sober and cannot purchase / drink alcohol, this is totally excessive in addition to us purchasing food. Food should absolute count. I'm sure the servers probably tack it on since if the bill is higher, in theory, their tips will be higher as well. But this was extremely dissatisfying. Again, especially since we do not drink alcohol. Feels like we are being punished. read more

Desert Ridge Improv - "Bottomless" for $18.00 - didn't ask for it. Was automatically added to bill. Even though we purchased food. - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The shows are always great but seating, ordering and everything else is always a mess. The last two times I've been we never got asked our order for food as well as the people around us. The waiter also took our order 10 mins before the show ended telling us it's mandatory for two drinks and we got our drink as the comedian was wrapping up. They might have been short staffed I thought that was rude to impose the rule when the servers were the ones lagging. Tempe improv is beyond better but you can't help where the comedian goes. So I would be back for the show but definitely eat before hand, maybe order both drinks at the same time. read more

Good comedians, service seemed good for everyone else, but our party of 6 never was served, and needed to ask 4x for a server to come over! A lady who finally did, said she's covering someone, but who? She didn't for anyone else, and that was 1 hour 15 minutes after we were sat. Other tables already had their drinks and food before we got service. For 300 people, they had 2 servers. Clearly they need more servers for a Friday night. The manager took off 1 drink per person in our group off the check. read more

It is absolutely garbage behavior for you to give away "free tickets" to an event and then turn people with free tickets away and then seat people with paid tickets, without telling people that getting in the show with the free tickets is a maybe/maybe not situation. I left an event that I really wanted to stay at, drove 40 minutes home to prepare to drive 50 more minutes to your venue to be turned away. And then drive the 50 minutes back home. This is despicable behavior. read more

I love drag shows and a friend of mine and I went - were so excited! HOWEVER, the show sucked and we walked out. RuPaul would have had a meltdown! Only three queens performed! We were front stage but what did they do? Walked down from the stage, lip sang and did nothing but walk around collecting money. We saw absolutely nothing. Do not waste your money on this poor excuse of a drag show! For what it cost, we could have seen RuPaul in Phoenix - wish we'd known because we would have seen a quality show for a lot less! read more

Bad... So bad. Just terrible, I'd never return. My reasons are listed below: 1. They make you wait outside prior to the show. We arrived half hour prior to the show and the line was already so long. Others were standing there for an hour! The other comedy club on high Street let's you come inside and have a meal prior to the show. 2. Terrible service. When we ordered our burgers the waitress asked if we wanted chips or fries.. but she never said it was an upcharge for fries. That's just shady. We ordered 2 beers and they took 45 minutes to arrive and once my beer came, it was flat! The food took an hour and 20 minutes. Server was not apologetic at all. And to top it off, they have the nerve to automatically add a tip to your bill! Unbelievable. 3. It's more expensive and more crowded than the house of comedy. They really pack em in, I felt like a canned sardine and I couldn't even see the stage because of the people in front of me. It's Not at all worth the price, for 2 of us it was about 150 for tickets, dinner and drinks. 4. The food wasn't very good either. The fries were ok but the burgers were bland. Also they enforce 2 drink minimum even if your eating a full dinner, which is not the case at the other comedy club. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because the talent was good. Unfortunately it's not enough to offset all the bad. In my opinion, Rick Bronson house of comedy is much better! read more

Comedy was GREAT!! Service and venue terrible. Very poor service. Brought wrong order twice, then argued about it. Unwilling to correct their mistake. Took forever to take order. Very slow to close us out. Do NOT recommend this venue! read more

First time going here. Not impressed. I have been to numerous comedy clubs over the years and have NEVER walked out before the performance was over and sadly, so did several others. Comedians should realize....if people are NOT laughing at your material, you need a back up plan. Just because you are gay, doesn't mean your entire performance should be your sexual preferences. Very raunchy and not at all funny. Management should revise the line up as the venue is nice and could have potential. The service was so so. Food was ok. read more

First of all the show was amazing we saw Peter Antoniou he is a comedian and a physic his talent is off the charts. The venue is nice and was only about half full, there seemed to be plenty of servers milling around. Our waitress immediately reminded us of the 2 drink minimum which we had no problem with. I ordered a vodka soda my partner ordered a Michelob Ultra we also ordered some wings. 30 minutes later our wings arrived it took an additional 10 minutes to get our drinks. They could sell a lot more drinks if it didn't take 40 minutes to get one. read more

Great place to see a show. Getting to see Harland Williams in this place is totally cool. Service is top notch all the way.

I cannot believe this bingo loco is actually getting booked. Maybe people will try it once but I think the word should go around after once that this show sucks! It's not really bingo, it's nothing but a cheap way to gather people together so they can pay 37$ entrance fee then keep you inside as long as they can so you can buy the expensive water down drinks. The show was horrible run by two guy wearing their pajama shorts. One is the DJ and one is the entertainer. It was an awful show. But if you put all these people that are drinking in one room pump them up with cut little papers and have three little bingo cards, I guess that's a show?? By the way, the audience with the winning number get a plastic dildo for a winning price and you can suck it from the floor using no hands to pick it up. What a joke of a bingo! These show should be closed soon. It's a waste of four hours show to find out in the end that your water down drinks cost you 400 dollars for your group of four. Save your self the time and money. It's not a bingo and it's not a show. You are the show that you paid yourself and they made the money. read more

Been here twice . The staff are very nice . The talent is wonderful if you pick your favs to see . Buttttt the seating is terrible. There is no room to relax as they pack in too many people with very uncomfortable chairs and tables . Heads are in the way of the comics , you are constantly just to move your own head to see the comic . Both times we were sat at a community high top table with table bar b/w our legs and barely leaving any room to move our legs . It's a big struggle to get out of your seat to get to the restroom as tables and chairs are full behind you ( and they are just as uncomfortable as you are ! So they don't want to slide in to let you out !) . Food and drink prices are pretty high , heard many people complain over their bills . The community tables are not a good choice for us to return . read more

We had a wonderful time at the improv. They were well organized, friendly, had a few really good Mocktails, decent nachos, and two fantastic comics. I read some of the unflattering reviews and was hesitant to go but everything went smoothly. I received a prompt reply via Yelp to a question I had and an email day of show providing logistical info. Our server was attentive and really nice. I'll be back again soon. read more

My Mom & I went to the Disney Villains Drag Brunch today at 11am. The show was great & the costumes were amazing but the service is where the venue gets two stars. The ticket information doesn't let you know when the doors open just that the show started at 11am. I suggest that you find out ahead of time & arrive early for better service. They require a 2 drink minimum per person which is fine but when you don't have enough servers to accommodate that, it becomes a problem. It took 25-30 mins to get a round of drinks for our party of two. Also, the venue adds an automatic gratuity to your bill, no matter the size of your party. No where on the ticket information or inside the venue were we notified of the automatic gratuity. I hope that the venue & the promoters are more transparent with their business practices in the future!? read more

I always enjoy the events here, but today it was awful. All it takes is one bad experience and Zuri was our server. The show was good but the service was the worst I have ever had. Took over an hour for my first drink. Asked about it by flagging her down all she said was we are super slammed as I watched a lot of other tables on there 2nd or 3rd drink. The others servers were great way more helpful than our server. The people in front of us never even got their drinks and they were there the entire time.they got charged the 2 drink minimum but never got their drinks. Horrible service. Would never come back to improve don't want that experience again. read more

DO NOT go hungry! Seriously overpriced for poor quality. Condiments were not available, even for purchase. Understaffed so service was S-L-O-W! Show was good! read more

We've been coming to this location for years. They've changed names/ ownership throughout but we've always enjoyed coming here. We typically come with a group & generally have a wonderful time. On 7/12 our experience was different than it ever been. I'm not sure if there's new management or ownership but this may very well have been our last time there. The worst part was our server knew that one person had already paid (and they gave themselves 30% tip) but went to each couple to try and charge AGAIN! I was shocked at that to be honest. That was the final straw. We know going there they say 2 drink per person. Never have we EVER been harassed & reminded so many times. I want to also say we've NEVER had a problem fulfilling the drink minimum whatsoever. I also want to add that we are really gracious tippers. When gratuity is added we always go above and beyond. The whole bill debacle was going on while the main act was still going on so we were missing it and annoyed and frustrated because when we said to the server "the bill has been paid" she knew it had been and said "ok". Her response was almost annoyed that we caught it. It was by far the worst experience we've ever had there. I'm not sure if people aren't ordering drinks but it was ridiculous to have papers, on the big tv"s "a shot and drink before show is a great appetizer but doesn't count for your two drink minimum", have an announcement saying "don't forget there's a two drink minimum per person", then your server tells you multiple times.. as if we weren't ordering?! It was such a turnoff then to feel like they were manipulating us to charge 5 couples double was beyond. Also it says gratuity included but they certainly don't say 30%. Because of how it all went down we absolutely did not tip over which normally we absolutely would have. Each of us were just appalled at how they didn't just try it one or twice but to 4 couples double charge. Do better. You'll absolutely see a decline in people coming. You can offer "free" tickets all day everyday but to feel like high pressure sales when you're already ordering a lot is just crazy. It's a no for me. read more

Thought I'd give this hole another try w/ Chris Kattan headlining. Only change is their name from CB Live to Improv. Under-staffed rude service. Messed up food order. Ignored request for another appetizer. Two drink minimum. FOOD DOES NOT COUNT! Unless Saint Peter is admitting people to heaven @ Desert Ridge Improv. DONE WITH THIS LOUSY PLACE. Coke is $5. Water is $8. Domestic Draft is $8. Cocktails are $17+. read more

I was here on Friday for the Taylor Swift release drag show. I will preface this with I am very understanding as I have worked in the service industry for about decade and know what it's like to be busy and understaffed. I love to support local drag and the show was AMAZING but had a rough experience for a few reasons. First, the two drink minimum: fine, if the cocktails were not $23 each. I have never even paid that much at a craft cocktail bar for QUALITY drinks. Also, the drinks were inconsistent as they tasted completely different both times. Secondly, we were not greeted for at least 20 minutes had 4 different servers (not sure if this is standard due to tip pool but they had no communication with each other). They put in my drink order incorrectly once and forgot it twice, and I was ordering off the specialty drink menu so it should not have a difficult order. Then when they brought the check it was also completely incorrect the first time. The second time it was also incorrect but I think all the specialty cocktails were the same price so I just paid for it. I did not complain or ask for a manager but if it were me serving I would have asked the manager to at least comp or discount one of the drinks because of the multiple errors for one guest. It's unfortunate we probably won't be coming back because I love the themed drag nights and want to support our queens, but the venue/management needs to reevaluate TLDR; poor service likely due to being understaffed plus asinine drink prices. read more

Candice is awesome!! Fast, attentive service and super friendly!! Carlos Mencia and openers were hilarious! Perfect night out!

The WORST service ever. All of the staff were rude and not helpful at all. The food and drinks were terrible and the seating is the worst setup for a comedy club. I do not recommend coming back... and if you do go make sure you do not have Delaney as your server!!!!!! read more

Bad service. Brought my food without silverware and then even when I asked for it let me stare at my food for half an hour with no fork. Also out fire ball in my old fashioned. Really? read more

It was a great experience there. The prices are way too high. Got 3 drinks and my bill was 50 dollars

Worse comedy show I been to! Young man that sat us down was very nice. Waitress terrible. The set up of the place is perfect if they had a good comedian. read more

The night I went the comedian was okay, not what I was expecting and spent most of the evening complaining that there were on 23 people in the audience. Show ended early because he walked off stage. Strange night and hope it was just not the right comedian vs the talent they book. The 2 drink minimum was expensive for what you get, but the ticket prices were not bad. read more

I mean, it's a comedy club. If you know you know. Chairs are uncomfortable. You're packed in like sardines. You have to twist your chair around to see the stage. Food and drinks are overpriced and not that special. But you're there for the comedy, and this is what you deal with. I will say I found all of the servers very friendly. read more

Went to Desert Ridge Improv on Thursday, May 1, to hear an Irish comedian. It was our first time there. And our last. Never got to the Irish comedian. Left way before he ever got on stage. The host and the fellow who followed him (a guy named Chen) were absolutely terrible. Now I don't mind if something is off color or bad language (I'm not a prude) if it is funny; but when it is both of those and not funny, then I have no use for it. The host talked about how his girlfriend referred to his penis as a penis and then joked about breast cancer, calling it tit cancer. Chen discussed other anatomical matters. Again, not funny. As I said, I'm not a prude. George Carlin was way more than off color and used and was known for bad language. But George Carlin was witty, funny, and his observations on life were worth listening to. These guys were none of those. So, we ended up, leaving early and never got to the Irish comic. Pity. I will say that the food was good but way, way, Way overpriced. Iced tea was $14. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

They ruined a good place with this random rebrand. Had a million beers on draft and now the suddenly point me to the bucket of beers section of the menu and you have the choice of 5 boring, basic bottles lol. And agree with everyone else, once I gave in and ordered one he came back to the table like 3 times before actually bringing it for me. Sad because I used to love coming here.. not on my radar anymore read more

Candice is awesome! Super friendly. Looking forward to to see the comedian special event!

Brunch Drag show was not impressive and disappointing for a Bday celebration. Compared to other shows around the valley - don't waste your money. Ticket cost, drink quality, price (2 drink min) and lackluster performers failed. Walking around lip synching & grabbing dollar bills is not a "show". read more

The seating was horrible! The tables closest to the stage were too close together. How could they think this was ample space? Never again will I go there. Take a lesson from Stir Crazy Comedy Club. read more

I went to the comedy show on Saturday, July 20 and the opening act, a female comedian, was terrible. I think her name was Sam something. She introduced herself as an LGBTQ non-binary person who had her tits cut off and hated men. Her jokes were not funny and she did not read the audience properly. No one was laughing. Sounded more like a propaganda commercial than a comedy act. The second and main comedian-Adam Conover, was much better and quite funny. His jokes landed. And he told good stories. My waiter forgot to bring me my first beer, and I had to remind him, but my beers were cold and tasty and I had a good view of the stage. read more

Pretty standard Comedy Club venue. Big bar, lots of seating, good service. Saw Chris Porter, who always delivers. Good night. Four issues: 1) The venue shares a wall with a music venue. The sound bleed really disrupted the performance. 2) When the comedy show wrapped you were directed to exit through the rear and through the music venue which had a show in progress. You literally walked in front of people trying to watch a band. No - fix it. 3) Comedians sell merch. Its really the only way they can make a respectable living as they work their way up to eventually fill a 2000+ seat venue or arena. There was no where setup to grab some merch to support the talent. The same would apply to the bands who sell a CD or two after every show. Fix it. 4) Expand the food and drink options. They should be an attraction in and of themselves - not an afterthought. All the pieces - done well - equal success. Easy fixes and it is a place worthy of Budd Friedman's legacy. read more

2 stars bc the drag brunches are always fun. We've been to 1/2 dozen drag brunches and once for a comedy show when it was CB Live. Nothing much has changed except the food and drinks are more expensive and the vip seating is worse. Expect $10 for a beer and $18+ for a mix drink and way overpriced food for what it is. Service has always sucked. read more

I think the line up of comedians was amazing. They said tickets were 20$ online, but they didn't ask to see them at all. They sat us quickly and accommodated us for a booth. The service was quick and great. The food and drinks were lacking in every which way you could imagine. Very high priced (understandable considering it's entertainment) we got a giant mule and it tasted like there was no alcohol in it 70$. The truffle fries were okay, nothing special. I will say some of the other food looked pretty good such as the wings, but we didn't not get any for the table. They didn't hound us for 2 drink rule although I believe the giant mule was like 4 drinks. If I was the owner I would spruce up the drinks for the prices (the sangria said it had fruit chews, but it did not. This is a little detail, but it would make the experience better and worth the price) read more

We saw the Magic of Eric Eaton last night. What a fun time, and the place was packed. Very entertaining, and neat to see how the old Rock Bottom Brewery was re-designed. Drinks were a little pricey but worth it, and the have drinks that match the event. We thought they had an excellent staff/ and quick attentive services. We highly recommend this venue and we had a great time last night! read more

My family and I had a great time. Service and bar staff was awesome. Be back again and again.

Service was terrible and the management is even worse. Food was mediocre and takes forever to come out. Drinks take even longer, Clearly understaffed and don't know how to train their people. read more
