What is the best way to purchase group tickets?
Since our establishement is first come, first served, it is best to buy your tickets in advance so we can do our best to sit everyone together. The best way to do this (if everyone is paying separately) is to set up a group name by calling the box office. Then have each group member call in advance to purchase their tickets under that group name. By keeping your tickets in a 'group,' it allows us to reserve a table for you in advance.

What is classified as a Special Presentation?
The shows that have 'Special Presentation' after their name, simply means we cannot accept coupons, passes or discounts for these shows due to contractual reasons. These performers tickets usually cost more than our regular ticket prices.

How do I know if I will like the act?
Comics change their act all the time. You are seeing a live show- often one that might play big off audience participation and or general interaction. We feel that the best way of gauging whether or not the comic is an act you'll like is to get general feel for their style using resources such as Youtube to find clips of past performances. If an act is known to be a bit more 'edgy' than is typical, we will put a content warning on our website. We take pride in bringing the best talent to our stage from North America, but we do not censor our comedians.
