    Comedy Show Every Friday & Saturday Night
    Savannah H.

    Wits End holds comedy shows at their venue every Friday and Saturday night. I went a couple of months ago with my friend. It was a good show! Local comedians telling jokes. I liked it. The bartender was very friendly. I don't really drink alcohol, but I did get an order of the soft pretzels. It came with two different sauces. It was a really good pretzel. I shared it with my friend who invited me to the show. The place looks like a straight up bar when you first walk in. Then when you pass the bar, the next room over has a stage and lots of seating for the comedy show. We snagged one of the few tables they had to offer. The tables are at the back of that room, furthest from the stage. But we could see perfectly so there was no issue. The comedians were funny. They all seemed local to the Charleston area. They did a little 5-10 minute stand up segment then they'd flash a light at them to let them know to close the act. Then they'd introduce the next comedian to come on stage. Each comedian introduced the next comedian. It seemed homey. Seems like a good community of people that gather here. Upon leaving, I noticed there was a cool mural across the parking lot with a big toucan bird painted on the wall. I got my friend to take a picture of me with it, as I was dressed in a colorful rainbow outfit. I matched the aesthetic. I really enjoyed the comedy show. I'd like to come back to another one soon. I had a good time bonding with my friend over some funny jokes and yummy soft pretzels.

    1st time visitng here. I'd seen through social media that we had a comedy club, but hadn't a chance to visit. So happy I had a chance to laugh at comedians Tony Tone and Guy Torry. Flavored popcorn was being sold. I didn't see other food items, but there could've been. They have a full bar, with good wine selections. The stage area is small and intimate. Perfect for new comedians or veteran comedians trying out material.

    Every visit to Wits End is amazing. It's an awesome comedy club. The performance space makes a good venue for the attend audience and the comedians. The bar being in a separate room/section or the venue is very appealing because the show does not get interrupted. The bar also has a screen that displays the comedian performing. The staff always great you with a smile and the food is excellent!

    This place was so fun! Such a hidden gem with an intimate and chill ambience. The bar had a good selection of snacks and drinks and the bartenders were so sweet. The laugh room was great and very intimate, you could see and hear everything. Grace absolutely killed it and her openers were so enjoyable and hilarious as well.

    The owner, who opened for the comedy show, was hilarious! This location is intimate and split in sections. The bar is in a room, the pool table and arcade is upstairs, and the stage is in another room. The service was fast and nice. I did not get any food or drink so I have no idea how that is. I plan to return, in fact I want to have my next birthday in their pool room!

    I love having this new comedy club right outside of the Park Circle neighborhood. You can't miss it with the giant comedy legend Richard Pryor painted on the side of the building. So far, I've been to one of their opening parties to check the place out and more recently to see comedian Dustin Nickerson. Inside you'll find a good size bar and top notch cocktails. Behind the bar is the comedy room which is fairly small, but great for intimate shows. We saw three comedians when my friends and I went for a sold out show and they all killed it. They had to reset for found two of the night, but we were able to head upstairs to a game room where the comedians did a little meet and greet too. Plus you could play pool and pinball up there. I plan on making comedy shows at Wits End a regular thing and I need to go for one of their open mics too. I think they're every Monday and Wednesday.

    We had bought tickets to see Sam Tallent and had been looking forward to checking out this new club. I'll be blunt, it's definitely not in the best part of town. We ubered down from Park Circle, but there was parking available if you wanted to drive. We were greeted pretty much as we got to the door and we were shown the bar, the show room, and the upstairs. We had a few drinks before the show and we were able to bring them into the showroom to enjoy. The club is intimate and no matter where you sit, you're close to the comics. The first couple of comedians were from the club itself, they were funny. The featured comic had me laughing nonstop till it hurt. We will definitely be coming back. (Shout out to the awesome and friendly bartender staff)

    I went here to see a comedy show and was pleasantly surprised how interesting this venue was. Not only do they have a comedy room, they have a decent size bar and a game room. The comedy room is small, but the intimate atmosphere added to the vibe of the show. I would recommend that you get tickets in advance. They only think I would develop more would be the bar food menu.

    Such a great experience here! The comedy show room is intimate. We got there early so we could pick seats with good leg room. VIPs are either front row or small high top tables, otherwise you have to hold your drink or put it on the floor. We didn't get food but someone near us ordered a pretzel that smelled great! The drink menu is good and they serve my favorite gin Nipitatty! Looking forward to returning for some more comics

    Doesn't keep consistent hours and has a rude staff, with no business trying comedy and insulting potential customers. Won't be back

Tucked away with true…read morespeakeasy energy, it feels like the kind of place you only hear about from people in the know. The moment you step inside, the Victorian-style décor sets the tone. Rich textures, warm lighting, and that unmistakable southern charm create an intimate, welcoming atmosphere that feels purposely hidden. Katie, serving as both bartender and host, elevated the entire experience. She was gracious, professional, and genuinely friendly the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left. Her Knob Creek whiskey sour was exceptional, easily one of the best in Charleston. Perfectly balanced with extra froth, it showed the kind of craft you expect from a top-tier mixology spot. If you're looking for a speakeasy that nails vibe, service, and cocktails, Scotty Doesn't Know should be at the top of your list. A standout gem in Charleston's bar scene.

There's a comprehensive cocktail menu and the French 75ish and the tiramisu martini were both delicious ($18 each). The prices are super comparable with other bars downtown. They have a full bar if you'd like a standard cocktail or any other creation I'm sure they could make it. Our server was great and very attentive. The kitchen stopped serving food at 10pm which I wish we had been told when we came in because I tried to order fries at 10:04 and was told I couldn't. Which I understand I just wish I had known. The place is pretty small and dark and very quiet so the perfect place for a calm nightcap.
