| - Its a shame that this place put the Improv out of business. That laughs that I had here were not enough to make up for the outrageous drink prices and poor service.
First off, we could not get a straight answer from ANYONE about what the policy on drinks from Copper Blues is - we were told different things by the box office staff, the hostess, the bartender at Copper Blues, the person seating us, and then our waiter - they each had something different to say! I think the outcome of everything we learned was that you can go order drinks yourself at Copper Blues and bring them in, but it doesn't count towards your 2 drink minimum - and maybe if your waiter is in a good mood (ours wasn't) they will get you drinks from Copper Blues.
The venue was CRAMPED! The theater was maybe 40% filled but we still had to sit elbow to elbow with people we did not know. They chairs are uncomfortable and I was playing footsie all night with some woman I did not know.
In addition to the ticket price, you will have to purchase two overpriced drinks. My iced tea with refills was $10. $10!!! For boring, plain iced tea that took 15 minutes to refill!! For $10 iced tea I would expect it to be made out of some rare tea leaves that were picked by princesses. My darling darling date ordered a $6 can of beer. The drink minimum wouldn't be so bad if you could get drinks from Copper Blues (as they have a wonderful selection!) but at Stand Up Live you are stuck with things like Coors, Miller, Corona and a can from San Tan. Whoop de do.
And then they have the nerve to add a tip on to the bill! So, to recap: 1 iced tea + 2 cans of beer = $27.50
