    Let me start off with the good: they bring in some amazing talent, which is something we definitely…read moreneed in Jacksonville, and everyone on staff I've encountered has been friendly. As to the rest of the experience? Well, if your GPS takes you to a Ramada Inn, you are indeed in the right place. The comedy club entrance is in the lobby, as are the will call desk and the bathrooms. The inside of the Comedy Zone looks like someone sealed it up as a time capsule back in the '80s, then opened the doors back up one day and just rolled with it. It's dark, and a lot of things in the club are a bit...sticky. My big frustration was the seating situation. I (somewhat) jokingly told my husband when we sat down at our table (a table of six that had other parties, too) that I'd just assume we'd be meeting our maker if a fire were to break out because there is no easy way to move around. The tables -- a mishmash of rectangular and circular ones -- and chairs are just way too close together; I even saw servers having to awkwardly climb through, which I can't imagine is fun with (or without) a tray of drinks. And look, I don't expect things to be roomy at a comedy club, but the seating at our (rectangular) table was so smushed together that the three chairs on each side -- lined up sideways so as to face the sage -- had to be placed so that they were literally touching each other. This may work in a situation in which no one at the table has a lower body, but as someone who not only has legs but who is 5'9" with a 6'2" partner, we would have stared longingly at the relative spaciousness of a sardine tin. The tables are too close from a side-by-side standpoint, too; if you weren't the back, you weren't getting up unless the folks on one side of the table next to you were getting up, too. There were other tables -- especially outside of the "inner circle" -- that seemed more spacious, so I'd probably try that next time. We didn't have any food, but our drinks were decent, and I appreciated that they had a couple mocktail options as someone who wasn't aiming to get too rowdy on a weeknight. I'll make a note here that while we didn't have the issue with the drinks we got at the table, we felt a bit hoodwinked at the lobby bar when we were asked to pay on a smartphone where the default tip options were set to 25 percent, 30 percent, or 100 -- yes, 100 -- percent. I caught it, but I can only imagine how many folks who are drunk or just distracted end up leaving a $50 tip on a $50 bill and later wonder what the heck happened. I don't know how it is for other nights, but parking was a bit challenging for our show -- the second of a two-show night, which I'm sure contributed. If you're seeing a show that has multiple performances in one night -- or perhaps even a single one that's sold out -- get there early and plan for the potential of having to walk around the perimeter of the hotel to get to the main entrance, as the side ones were all closed. One last positive: you don't have to deal with the major ticket schemers -- I mean sellers -- when you come here, which is enough for me to round this review up to a 4. Even though I wish a few things were different (like my odds of a fast egress in an emergency), I'll keep coming to shows here.

I arrived shortly after the doors opened and, since the show wasn't sold out, I was offered a closer seat to the stage which was a nice surprise. I ordered a shrimp basket and a drink before the show started. My drink came out quickly, and my food followed shortly. The show kicked off a little after 7, starting with the host and another comedian before Gigi hit the stage. Everyone brought great energy, and the crowd was fully engaged. It honestly felt like a big family reunion, lots of shared stories and laughs about growing up that connected with most of the audience. I always have a great time at The Comedy Zone, and I'm glad I got the chance to catch Gigi live. Definitely a fun way to spend a Sunday night.

    Upon entering the venue, I got an initial "laugh" at the stark difference between the photos taken…read moreat Dos Gatos and the garage-sized room I entered, cooled only by a small fan. Having watched comedy shows from New York to Vegas, I've seen a wide variety of comedians. Even Andrew Dice Clay, who built his representation on being controversial, didn't venture into the cringe-worthy territory that the headliner did with a sexual innuendo joke involving his daughter. The show was worthy of 2 stars but shame on ownership for the misleading pictures and allowing performers to artificially boost ratings by writing reviews. Hence the 1 star rating. With a dearth of quality comedy options downtown, a quality product would speak for itself through word of mouth. Or at least actual audience members would feel compelled to speak up about their enjoyable experience.

    I spent 56 dollars to be in an audience where a comedian (Kerry-sp?) was testing his most…read moreoffensive jokes... and YES I read the disclaimer that this show was "R-rated"..... I laugh and love most taboo jokes so this was not the issue. In general, I am a huge comedy lover, and truly I am all about saying what everyone wants to say but won't; and enjoy humor that tests some boundaries. The most upsetting part to me was this: when he was funny he was hilarious! But then, he would try sooo hard to push the limits with sexual jokes about babies, children, etc... and for me, that's the limit. The vibe was also, "here's what I have to say and if anyone heckles, or walks out, or has anything to say back, then you're in the wrong". The one lady that left, did so during his jokes about infants, and he commented on her looks... if looks are the only thing you can insult, then you know you're in the wrong. I had high hopes, truly! I even was seriously considering purchasing the acting class and potentially the improv class package, but held off to feel the vibe. Sadly, I felt used after that show, and am in no way interested in pursuing their classes. The only way improvements in business and the only way performers improve is by honest critique; so here it is :). I am hopeful that this feedback is helpful, as we all have room to grow. In the future, please don't charge audience members 25 dollars for a shortened show (ended at 8 instead of 8:30) where you test jokes that aim for shock value rather than laughs. Your audience members come to these shows to escape, not to feel burdened by imagery that is so disturbing, already among a disturbing world. In a culture where everyone is trying to outdo everyone else, the opposite authentic approach proves to be more engaging and entertaining.
