We went to The Comedy Zone thanks to a super 1/2 off Groupon deal. I always like going to comedy clubs but they can be expensive, between the tickets and the drink minimums. Between the Groupon and the fact that The Comedy Zone doesn't have a drink minimum, we were able to enjoy a great night of affordable laughs.
The Comedy Zone is tucked away in the NC Music Factory "complex" and is a great entertainment addition. They have a variety of amateur and professional comics rolling through, with the occasional super celebrity. The interior setup is pretty good, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Like most comedy clubs the front tables are pretty cramped, but we were seated at this long bar-type area that runs along the perimeter of the floor, so we had a lot of elbow room compared to some others.
They do have food and drinks available, and the servers come by quite often to make sure you are content with what you have...but for us who only wanted one drink for the night (since we went out for food and drink before the show) it was a bit too much. The beer was priced in about the right area (for a comedy club), with us paying $5.00 each for drafts of Blue Moon and OMB Copper. The food menu had the usual bar fare of fried appetizers and burgers, along with some salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes, but we didn't order food since we ate before going to the show. It is worth noting that the food prices seemed a bit steep, and I doubt the quality of the food would compare to an actual restaurant for the price you would pay.
Of course I can't review The Comedy Zone based on the content of the show, since it changes daily depending on who's performing. What I can rate it on is the fact that they provided a great venue for a night of laughs. My bigger concerns is the price of admission, between tickets and any food or drink you decide to order. It is a good-sized venue and they do bring in some pretty big names on occasion, and I totally look forward to going back again.
