  1. Marchelle (verified owner)

    Enjoyed the atmosphere and the layout. The comedians actually made me laugh which can be hard to do, I enjoyed my evening. Will most definitely be coming back. Loved it.

  2. Catera

    This is exactly the kind of laughter I needed at 4pm on a Sunday! Great job to both Steve (the opener) and J.D!

  3. Sarah

    JD really knows how to read the room. He will have you laughing.

  4. Joyce

    This was my first time going to stand up comedy. I went with my daughter and we had a great time. JD worked the crowd and had all of us laughing.

  5. Steve

    Disappointed, and bounced between 2 and 3 for rating. Finally chose 3 to acknowledge Walter’s opening act saved the evening. Advertised as life’s observations over 40, and Walter successfully explored multiple aspects. Some were crude but perceprively all hit the funny-bone and/or thought-bone. JD had a brief bit about his son and his son’s phone that was effectively in-theme. This was the same bit highighted in the 1-minute flash preview that enticed me to attend. From there, half of his material was sex and sexual relations that approached mysogeny. Seemed to be trying for the lowest common denominator. Had his act continued another 15 minutes pretty sure he would have nailed the mysogeny.
    Audience laughter for JD was there but seemed a bit strained. For Walter, it was enthusiastic.

  6. Sadie

    The show was great! JD had me entertained the whole time.

    Oh my goodness, I’m not even thirty and I enjoyed the show so much! The way these two comedians take their crafts so seriously and un-seriously at the same time in that magic way comedians to is so enticing! The jokes were much funnier once the drinks started flowing loll, but all in all, great show. 10/10 would recommend!
