| - My husband and I went here last night to see Broken Lizard perform & had a great time. We bought "dinner & show tickets" so we had a 3 course dinner at Greens Restaurant where the food was decent. Restaurant is best described as a dinner trying to be classy - the wait staff were a little too attentive given the environment.
Deducted a star because of a miscommunication with dinner - my nut allergy note (made when booking tickets) want passed along to restaurant so had to send my salad back.
After we ate, they walked us to our reserved table in the Laugh Shop where we found out we were literally right in front of the stage - no joke, I had my feet resting on the stage during the show. Was great for the comics we were seeing but with other comedians who involve (read: hassle) audience members, such close seating could be an issue.
The emcee was good - he was funny & personable without detracting from the main act. Waitress was friendly and polite but not constantly hovering. She was great at watching drink levels and checking in when there was a break in the material flow of the show.
Drinks weren't half bad, my husband had their house scotch and I did mini-jugs of rum and coke. Prices are definitely not cheap - on par with a nightclub. Which is a little disappointing given the fact you pay cover, but I guess nightclubs charge that too.
Dinner & show tickets ran us $50/each, drinks with dinner was another $40 and then drinks during the show was $65 or so (3 scotches & 2 mini-jugs). Not terrible pricing all in.
Tickets were also super easy to purchase: you can buy online, or for dinner and show, you call in with a visa and the tickets are waiting for picking on the day of the show.
Last but not least, the Women's washroom was tiny (3 stalls). I only mention this because after the show finished, there was a 20 person line for it. Luckily I spotted a washroom in the lobby on our way in so I headed there.
All in all, we had a great time.
Will definitely be going back!
