    I've been to comedy zone at least 10 times & it's definitely one of my favorite places to go on the weekends. The inside is a lot bigger than I expected and can fit a lot of people. Sometimes the seating can get tight for the crowded shows but they'll fit you in somehow lol. They seem to always have great shows going on during the weekends. The last show we went to was Shaun Jones & he was really funny so I highly recommend. They have classic bar food there but it's always been good when I've had it. They have a ton of frozen alcoholic drinks on the menu as well which are fun, but they also have a full bar. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because every time I've been there, service is extremely slow. The waiters are usually somewhat friendly but the customer service isn't the best. It usually takes a while for them to take your initial order & then waiting for your drink can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes. I still really like this place though - you just have to be patient. Definitely recommend comedy zone because it's a Greensboro staple!

    This was my first time to the Comedy Zone and I was surprised to find that it was a situation where you sit at a table and get served. I was disappointed when the service wasn't that great. It took 15 minutes to get greeted and only then because we asked what was up. Apparently our server was new and hadn't completely become accustomed to the business yet. The food, however, was amazingly yummy. The options were plentiful. Especially the appetizers. We got: fried pickles, potato chips, mozzarella sticks and cheese fries. Each of these were so so so good. The homemade potato chips were HUGE! And paired perfectly with the ranch. I'm hungry just thinking about it now. The show was also great! I would definitely go back to another show, even if it wasn't a comedian I already knew. I won't hold the slow service against them as sometimes stuff happens.

    Fun night at Comedy Zone in Greensboro. We saw E J Speaks and friends. Service was prompt and friendly. I'd suggest get there early to get a good seat and faster service as they get busy quick. I hadn't been there in a long time but will be back soon. Food was great!

    A sold out night had the staff moving quickly but I wasn't disappointed with our meal. My first time was memorable.

    This was my first time attending a comedy show here and I absolutely loved it! I loved the layout and atmosphere of the place. I had VIP tickets so I was close to the stage. Our waitress was amazing, very attentive and very welcoming and friendly. The food was like typical bar food but very good! I had the spiked lemonade which was very tasty, it had blueberry vodka. The loaded nachos were good and the garden salad was one of the best salads I've had in a while. The show was amazing, I definitely recommend coming here and will definitely be coming back. This is a great date night spot, group activity, or even to come on your own.

    Quality talent in an intimate space. I had a great time checking out the Comedy Zone for the first time when I went to see Joe Machi. Purchasing a ticket online was easy and they'll frequently run BOGO specials for undersold shows that are available to those on their mailing list. They are set up with chairs and tables, and offer food and beverage service. I got an espresso- based cocktail and enjoyed it quite a bit! I didn't end up getting food, but might next time. There's really not a bad seat in the venue, though there is a VIP area available for a small surcharge. The VIP area tended to be full of what seemed to be regulars. Also, the crowd tended to be older, but I was comfy there as a (relatively) young person. I feel like the space could be updated to be a bit more vibrant/modern. But, it seems to be suiting the current audience. Overall, I plan to check this place out again soon. They have a great tick tocker I like coming in the fall and it'll be interesting to see if the crowd demographics change.

    Long line around the parking lot to get in

    We came here to see Gary Owen preform. It was a good show! But my review will focus on the venue which is the more important part. We came to the second show at 9pm, and were surprised to find a line of cars out into the road. Still, we got parked pretty quick, and I appreciate free parking which is becoming more and more rare for event venues. Unfortunately, it took a surprisingly long time to get into the venue once parked. There was a line of people around the parking lot past a very smelly dumpster, and we ended up standing in line 35 minutes before we got to the door. It seems to be so slow because they seat each group one at a time with menus. I assume this is to prevent people who didn't pay extra from sitting on the front row, but it makes for a very slow entry process. We were seated at a high top table along with another couple we didn't know. It took about 20 minutes to get a bottled beer (not counting the time to see the server in the first place), and about 35 minutes to get food once ordered. Our waitress was friendly but she seemed very over worked. It seems like things could run more smoothly here with a few extra staff. Food and drinks (including a frozen cocktail) were good once they arrived. They were, however, expensive for what you got, and I was really disappointed to see a 15% forced gratuity added to the ticket for a party of 2 people. There was a notice that they were forcing this to help retain staff. The show started about 45 minutes late, which I suspect is related to it taking so long to get people inside. However, it still ran almost 2 hours so I don't feel like we were shorted on the duration of show. Overall we enjoyed the performer, but the experience with the Comedy Zone itself was mediocre. I haven't been here in many years, but it seems degraded from my memories of past visits. I might still come back, but it's not high on my list for date nights.

    Second trip over the weekend and with knowing what to expect it was much more enjoyable. We have decided we may eat before or after going because our stomachs have not agreed with the food either time we have been. The drinks are pretty average priced. Our waitress this time around was not very friendly and getting drinks refilled was not easy so half the meal was spent without drink. This was not the same as last time so we are hopeful it was a one off situation because everyone else we have dealt with has been very nice! The bathrooms were clean and stocked and the overall cleanliness in the main room was much better this time. Again, we stick to saying this is worth a trip in Greensboro and we encourage you to go and support live comics! We have more trips planned in the near future!

    Place could be hard to find at first unless you are a regular. I did love the comedy show and the service was great. The hostess takes you to your seat right away. The place does get crowded, so buy o your ticket early. Plenty of parking space. The food menu does have plenty to choose from. Drink choices are great as well. Just have patience when the place is crowded for your food and drinks. Ambiance is great, perfect for large groups.

    Glad to see this business is still up and running. They've been a staple in Greensboro for several years. We attended a Comedy Show and had thee most fun!!! Our waitress was amazing ...she continued to check on us throughout the meal. We ordered 5-wings and hot chips with ranch. The small cups of ranch ...we went through about 5 of them. The comedian was Shuler King!!! He is super funny!!

    Out with friends

    Been here a couple of times this year. The acts were great. It stays hot in there, not very good air quality and circulation. I has to bring my mini fan. My drink was watered down. They upcharge for that cheap water, why. I wouldn't eat the food.

    Wings and homemade seasoned potato chips.

    Nephew Tommy from the Steve Harvey morning show is hilarious! No pictures could be taken but when I tell you... he is so funny. Look him up! He's also known as Thomas Miles Make sure to order some food, you will not be disappointed

    I always love the events themselves, but everything else could use a lot of work. The seating process could definitely use some improvements. If you go to the 2nd show, there's always a really long line and it can take half an hour to get inside. Once you get inside they pretty much pack you in like sardines. There's not a lot of space between tables so going to the bathroom is kind of annoying. You'd expect the situation to be better in the VIP section, but it's a lot worse. You're pretty much shoulder to shoulder with whoever is next to you in VIP and there is a lot less space between tables so getting up for anything becomes a whole event. The service is also pretty bad, which is no fault to the servers themselves. I've been going here for a multiple years and somehow they are always understaffed. I've had it take over 15 minutes to get a drink after asking. And because the servers have to cover so many tables, it's difficult to get their attention to place another order. The food and drinks aren't anything crazy. The food is pretty much your typical bar food. It's good but isn't great by any means. The drinks prices aren't obscene for a bar, but still a little overpriced. They do have a LOT of options though which is nice.

They arrived and were coned nicely and had a great taste. (Still no silverware or napkins) we asked for napkins of course at this point because our hands are sticky. Food came. Burger was missing lettuce (easy fix) he said his steak was cooked PERFECTLY (still no silverware) I requested more mayo and more dressing (still no silverware) we realized there wasn't any silverware when he wanted to cut into the steak. So we had to request silverware. Back to the steak.... Cooked PERFECTLY..... zero seasoning. Added a little salt and requested steak sauce and the steak was demolished. My wales saw my water getting low and said she was coming with more water. I finished my water she came by and asked if we needed anything.... Water please. With a few adjustments to the obvious (having silverware at the table when seating customers, and keeping a real eye out for drinks) this place might be alright. The servers were pleasant and the place wasn't crowded at all. A total of 4 other parties were in and out during our visit.

The downstairs area is the main music hall, with a legit stage, a large bar, and plenty of open room. The second level features a cocktail and whiskey bar, along with a separate lounge style room filled with leather couches and chairs. The third and fourth levels both offer outdoor space, with the third floor having its own bar and the fourth providing additional seating and city views. It's a great mix of spaces for pretty much anyone. The music really stole the show this evening. I arrived early and snapped a few photos before the crowd rolled in. Dear Sister rocked tonight. What an excellent cover band! I'll be seeing them often whenever they roll into town. The only thing holding this from being a 5 star night was the service. It was decent but noticeably slow even before the crowd showed up. Once things got busy, it became very hard to grab a drink or get anyone's attention, which is typical for a packed place but still worth noting. Overall, this is a super fun spot with great music and tons of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. I'll definitely be back for more live shows or to hang out with family and friends on a nice day up on the rooftop areas.
