| - This was my first and last time at the Laugh shop, mostly because of the staff.
First off my friend forgot his ID, and they made him go home to get it. Fair enough, it's a bar, you need ID. So a couple of us went in to save seats since the whole party already had tickets.
Here's the kicker: you have to sit where the bouncer tells you. We were sat in crazy uncomfortable chairs, behind a pole, at the back of a very awkwardly designed room not at all suited for a comedy club. When we told the bouncers that someone in our party was in a sling and we'd need a chair with a back on it, he said that all the other tables were booked.
So I got up and took another table only to notice that we didn't get the worst of it. There were about four tables BEHIND THE STAGE. Who would pay $20 cover for a 1 1/2 hour show they couldn't even see? And who were they saving these tables for?
After all that, my friend returns with his ID to have the bouncers tell him that "oh don't worry about it, we're not checking tonight". Seriously?
Our waitress was fine, but clearly had too many tables as we only saw her maybe two times in two hours. The bowling alley drink list didn't impress either. The act was great, but only had one headliner. Overall I'd suggest skipping this place unless you're into nightclub drama (and hotel basements).
