| - I am a comedy nut. My roommate got an email for cheap tickets for tonights show, so we headed to PHo for some comedy. The "club" is located in the upper level of Trader Vic's which is in the very front of the miracle mile shops, Vic's has a nice patio we had a few drinks there before the show.
As we headed up the stairs I expected to see a "club" but it was really only a small stage with a mic, and some lights, the venue was very "intimate" and probably seats about 100 or so.
The comedians for the night were Aziz Ansari and Dan Levy.
The Emcee was pretty good, he did a solid 5 minutes of comedy, I forget his name but he was a good Emcee.
Dan Levy was first up, he was great, I had seen him on a few things before, and really like his set, with some more polish he could be an amazing headliner!!!
Next was Aziz, I know he is a heavy hitter in the Improv world, I have seen him a few times at UCB in LA, and he is landing tons of TV roles. I was a little worried when he came out carrying a sheet with notes, but his set was solid. There was a family there for a wedding, and you could tell the parents were drug there bye their kids, Aziz went out of his way to make them laugh, he cleaned up a few jokes when they said they didn't like the profanity, and he ended up getting the to stop watching the B's fountains and focus on him.
The Venue is small, the drink service was fast, there was only one person seating people, but the wait wasn't too long. All in all for a place that isn't technically a comedy club it was great, I will be going back!!!
My only regret was going to the 7:30 and not the 10 show because everyone know friday late show is the time to shine!!!
