| - We moved to Huntersville about two years ago, and the first thing I did was keep track of anything going on in the area. One place I quickly found was LKN Comedy Zone. It is located on the top floor of the Irish Pub, The Galway Hooker.
We were skeptical at first because of it not having a separate location, but after the quality of comedians we have seen there I can't think of a better venue. Our first visit was to see Dustin Diamond (Screech) from Saved by the Bell. He was a lot funnier than we expected, and we loved the layout for the stand up. It was like being in a small banquet room with a D list celebrity. There are no bad seats in the house everyone is close. Since that first visit we have seen, Pauly Shore, Aisha Tyler, Tommy Davidson, Rob Schneider (+ Coolio stopped by), Jamie Kennedy, and Michael Winslow (Police Academy)
Check their website for a calendar of upcoming comedians. They often sell out the celebrity shows early because of the smaller venue. Any problems we have ever had before and during the event were quickly solved by Adam the manager. He is very nice and will keep you informed about upcoming shows so feel free to start up a conversation with him.
My only complaint would be that for some reason, the bar is different upstairs than the Irish pub downstairs. I can't get a Guinness during a comedy show. Also servers can become overwhelmed during busy shows, so order a couple beers instead of just one to cut back on any wait time between laughs.
I will say, if you can see Johnny Millwater there, then do that, he is a local comedian and is really funny. They often have him open for the celebrities.
