| - Do you know the feeling when you're at an airport, your flight gets delayed, and your thirsty? You could risk the questionable tap water, or you could buy a $3 bottle of water. You're upset. $3 for a bottle of water that you could get for $0.50 at your local supermarket seems ridiculous. Well, the Improv Comedy Club wants to put that all in perspective for you. How so? By letting you experience an even greater level of con-artistry.
We got tickets to see Gad Elmaleh. (He just was not as funny in English during a mid-life crisis as he is in French in typical times, but that's another story.) I made the cardinal mistake of not checking Yelp. So, I had no clue that there was a two item minimum for the show. It was not listed on the site where we purchased tickets or even on the tickets themselves. I really did not want to pay for stuff on top of the ticket that I paid, even though I did not want any extra stuff. But, if I have to, let me see your menu. $6 for a bottle of water. Let me repeat that... $6 for a bottle of water. That is the cheapest item on the menu. You could get store bought chips and salsa for $8, a stale burger and fries that McDonalds wouldn't touch for $14, or cookies for $6 (not a box of cookies, but a couple of cookies).
You know what I love with a comedy show? A side of you-got-fucking-owned with a little bit of can-I-abuse-you-again. If it wasn't clear, I won't be returning. I can see comedy shows elsewhere without feeling ripped off.
Also, to echo another reviewer, the waitress failed to return with my change. She just kept it as a tip. I don't feel too bad about that, though. I would have tipped more if she'd brought the change back. (Mind you, though, not because she deserved it, just because tipping more would have been the standard thing to do).
TL;DR: Best place in town to legally get robbed.
