| - Stand-up Scottsdale....Where to start...Much to my amusement/surprise, I ran across this refreshing gem of a club a few months ago. I have been there on a handful of occasions (most recently this past Saturday) and have always had a great time. The club is smaller (hence better seats) and more personalized/intimate. I love to laugh and be entertained. That's easily accomplished here, as the comedians are close by and interactive with audience (even when not on stage; and/or after show/ at the Western). When I walk through the doors, I feel as though I've entered a cozy neighborhood bar, like "Cheers" where everybody knows your name (or treats you as such). It's more like hanging out with friends than comedians/employees...as they all go out of their way to talk to you, make sure you have what you need & inquire if you're having a good time. And it's not just me...I have seen Howard, the employees and the comedians randomly go up to customers and just check in...I appreciate that and have respect for what the club is striving for...
Now is it perfect? No, of course not. I have never been in a comedy club that was/is...Difference being, that you actually see the owner at SUS and he attempts to rectify things. For instance, this past Saturday he spent a great deal of time interacting/socializing with his patrons (including the ones with complaints....Kudos to him, because quite frankly I wanted to muzzle a couple of them...enough with the drunken whining...move on...but that's just me.). Howard is visible, interactive, and treats patrons more like friends than consumers...And that is surprisingly refreshing amongst the superficial/ plastic atmosphere of a lot of Scottsdale clubs/bars...I personally like a little character and quirky charm/ambience. Best of luck and see you soon!!
