    Great show. I love improv. It was a great surprise to find this gem in Ventura. Parking is free and a convenient location.

    The place is now called Ventura Harbor Comedy Club…read more Been to this place twice now and I'm highly impressed. The comics are very very funny. And the owner and host MC Andres Fernandez is himself a really funny guy :). Andres seats you when you first walk in. He's incredibly warm and friendly with his booming announcer voice and wide, genuine smile. The cocktail waitresses are prompt with their service and also very friendly and courteous. My only small negative is that the drinks were weak. I could not really taste the vodka in my Cape Cod and normally one sip of Long Island Iced Tea renders me incapacitated for about 5 minutes, but Steve's drink could have been easily gulped down by me with without gagging (that says a lot about how weak the drink is and, more obviously, how much of a pro drinker I am! LOL) The decor is very nice - blue is my favorite color and there's no shortage of it. It adds to the appeal of the room, making it fun, professional, and relaxing. I haven't been disappointed with the comics that come out with their exuberance and energy. I love a good belly laugh and definitely got that during the two times I was there. Whoever picks the comics is doing a great job :). I highly recommend coming here. $15 per person is a heck of a deal for hours of laughter!

    Rounded up at 4 , however 3.5 …read more This place has been open for a bit but I hadn't made my way over here. I have been super excited to stop by but I must admit, service was very lukewarm. The miss working the spot was pretty young , so perhaps lack of experience. I sat at a stool as I wanted to enjoy the vibes . I was never checked in on and I felt as though I was a bother . Drinks are canned . I asked for a glass and was told .. " All we have is plastic" as she walked away. Perhaps she's shy but there needs to be level of proper customer service. They offer Thrifty's icecream and sandwiches from Harbor Mart. The owners are super sweet, I have been following their business for awhile. A bit more energy when tending to customers would be appreciated . This spot has nice games and I love the murals! When I come back , I'll play some of the games and update my review . I really hope service improves.

    This place is fun. I wish it was bigger but there is literally nothing they can do about that. They…read morehave about two basketball games, one VR game, one air hockey game, one punching bag game, two (?) arcade games, a couple claw games, a couple old Atari type games, and maybe 6-8 pinball machines. You add funds digitally onto a card in maybe $5 increments or so. I think we spent 30-60 minutes in here. Really if you're good at pinball you can spend a little longer in here. If you play the other games then they are in a timed basis and you run out much faster. My son who is 11 loves this place. I don't mind it. I think it's cute and give a nice distraction and is a cute little pit stop when downtown or we don't have anything to do. They also have thrifty ice cream and sandwiches and drinks you can order. The staff has always been nice so that helps. It's nice to know you're supporting a friendly local small business.

I won't give spoilers. although I am tempted to. :) Follow Anne and get on the mailing list for the show. You won't be sorry and hopefully she'll be back to the Rubicon. Also consider signing up for the email blast from the Rubicon so you can get the shows on your calendar. I know the Rubicon offers outstanding shows and performances, and now that I am hooked I will have more check-in's and pictures soon. They also offer special packages and education packages. The volunteers were beyond knowledgeable and were very happy to share the rich history of the Theater. 110% I recommend the Rubicon. Enjoy!
