| - I went to see Iliza Shlesinger a few weeks ago with my husband, sister, and her fiance. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, especially having read the polarized reviews here, but we ended up having a great time.
I liked the location, which is easy to get to, and close to Yogurtini (great for a snack before or after the show). We arrived early, wandered around a bit, discovered Yogurtini, and made our way up the steps just a few minutes before six; I think we were the fourth or fifth group in line. We ended up with a great table close to the stage. Yes, the tables are shoved up against one another, but it's fine; we had no difficulty walking amongst the tables and it was easy to ignore or talk to others if we wanted.
We shared appetizers, and it was plenty of food even without an entree; I do think the prices were a bit stiff, but considering the amount of time you spend in the seats, they were fine.
It was easy to hear the comedians (two openers and the main act), but not so easy to hear the rest of my party before the show. It's one big open room, terrible for acoustics. Not to mention they practically blew my eardrums out with their opening video, highlighting some upcoming shows and the rules. I don't know why they had to play it so loud.
All in all, besides the sound level, it was a very enjoyable night.
