    The space is a bit tight but the lineup was funny. This is our second time going here, some of the sets were the same but overall a great show. The place is BYOB so they will start the show 15-30 minutes late usually to give people time to grab drinks.

    We came here at Friday night. Trying to look for this place is harder to find than normal. It's hidden behind a rail road track and a building being built. So it was a bit confusing. You have look to find the sign on a street that looks like someone back yard. Any way, the venue is a bit small. It fits like 30-50 ppl in a tiny place. The stage is small and there is only one share bathroom. For 20 GA, you get to access open bar to Trader Joe's wine. It's 3/4$ trader Joe wine so don't expect to get very drunk with those. There were like 8 comedians and they were ok. Some are annoying. And some just came to complaint. Overall, a good night out with free wine and entertainment for 20.

    First time at the 8:00 show tonight. It was cozy and run by professionals. There is a lot of talent here, up close, in Austin! I'll be back.

    Unfortunately it's not a place I would return again. Let's put it this way. It was an experience that didn't meet my expectations.

    Had some family fly in and thought we'd experience the Comedy Mothership together. Overall, it was…read morea fun experience. The staff were nice and the comedians were great. 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.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of stand up comedy…read more Wound up here on a Wednesday night while visiting Austin. 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.

They do a mix of comedy, magic, music , and just overall great entrainment for their shows. It's mainly themed around local and world politics + the LGBTQ community. Tickets are approximately $40. 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!
