    Management is absolutely poor, specifically the man who claimed to be the GM. Myself and my friend showed up for a show last night, and we told the GM (who was seating people) that we had another joining us. He told us he can't seat 3 people unless they were all present. He sat us at a 2 top even though we explicitly explained we were going to have a third person. I understand that his policy is that he can't seat us without the third person present, however, there were SEVERAL people showing up who said "oh, my friends are over there, they saved seats for me" When I asked him what I should do when my friend showed up, he said in a disrespectful tone "I am the General Manager. I will talk to you in minute" He then guided us to seats in the VERY BACK behind 3 large men where we wouldn't be able to see, and when I expressed concern, he immediately said "I will refund your money and you should leave." I asked him why, when I did nothing to him to warrant that response, and he just repeated the same sentence. We stayed obviously because we paid to see the comedy show and drove in the SNOW STORM to get there. I have never felt so disrespected by someone, especially claiming to be the General Manager. I sincerely hope the owner sees this review because that GM should not act like that toward ANYONE. I will never go back to Jokers again, and am warning all of my friends of the mistreatment I received. Truly disgraceful.

    GM was incredibly unprofessional, rude, and had a hell of an attitude for little to no reason. Really turned me off from wanting to come back. This venue is in need of a better system for seating people fairly and politely.

    Went for the world comedy tour with a fairly large group of people (14 or so) and everyone was accommodated very well! They had a minimum 2 item purchase and the menu was fairly limited; but after all I was there for the laughs so didn't really care either way. Great service, cozy ambiance and friendly staff

    The act were great. The servers were nice but didn't serve much. They have a 2 food/drink/one of each minimum, which is fine. I ordered 2 drinks and two food items as I am an over achiever. I received nothing. No food and no drinks. I will not be going back.

    Awesome comedy club! great staff, great show! Also conveniently located next to a parking garage that's inexpensive.

    Great entertainment! I have been there several times and the only gripe I have with each time is the length in which it takes to get your food/drink. But the waitresses are always moving and I know they are so busy. But I have also only ever seen two at a time there. Maybe hiring a third will decrease the time between putting in an order and getting it. I really do love this place though and I will be back! Also the food and the drinks are always on point when I have gotten them! Worth it!

    2 stars for the comedians. 1 star for the atmosphere. Its was so cold inside, it was ridiculous. The club next door was bumping music so loud, we could barely hear the comedians.

    I like this place a lot for the day of the week when I visit. Monday’s are quiet and they have a great selection of beers. Craft beer prices are a bit steep but I figure it’s because of their location which is truly great.

    First time at any comedy club, joined my cousin who invited me and I had no clue what to expect. It was AMAZING. Already made plans with my friends to come back, great atmosphere and drinks, couldn’t recommend more highly!
