    Great comedians and cool place! Way better experience than other venues. A bit over crowded and the seating is weird; felt more like a lecture. But I have to give it them, they are organized and efficient. Will definitely be back!

    i went to a mystery show 8 weeks ago. we saw around 5 different people. it was very amusing and fun. sitting for a while didn’t make me feel restless or anything either. pretty sure you have to be 19 to get in as there is a bar as well. you can see at all the seats which is great. definitely would come again

    My cousin got us last min tickets to a show last night (Friday Oct 21) and omg it was amazing! I’ve never been to a comedy bar before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but wow I need to come here more often. I haven’t laughed like that since.. I’m not sure 😆 All the comedians were hilarious! Highly recommend if you want your abs to hurt 😄

    My wife and I attended the secret comedy lineup and it was absolutely hilarious! I would definitely recommend for any comedy stand-up lover. Great price and great environment

    Incredible staff. I went with my (blind) wife and they were extremely helpful in terms of helping her navigate the space, get seated with her guide dog before the show, etc. They also have a great range of beer on tap plus some 0% cans for anyone not drinking. All in all, a do-again!

    A cozy intimate venue, let's you feel very close to the stage and show. Bar to order drinks before and can order via QR code drinks during the show. Chairs could be more comfortable but the tickets are always affordable so I will not complain!

    I love this place and service is great! Nice selection of drinks and snacks. Content could be controversial but overall, if you stay open-minded, you are going to have a good time!

    I had the unfortunate experience of visiting this comedy club, and I can't emphasize enough how atrocious their customer service was. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that the staff couldn't care less about the patrons. Rude and inattentive, they seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than ensuring a pleasant experience for the paying customers. To make matters worse, getting a drink was an ordeal in itself. It was as if they had a secret contest to see who could ignore customers the longest. When we finally managed to flag down a server, the drink prices were exorbitant, and the quality left much to be desired. The seating arrangement was a complete disaster. We were crammed into uncomfortable, worn-out chairs with hardly any legroom, and the view of the stage was obstructed in multiple spots. It's as if they designed the layout to maximize discomfort. The comedy acts themselves might have been the only redeeming factor, but even they couldn't salvage the experience. The overall atmosphere was so toxic due to the dismal customer service that it overshadowed any potential laughter. In short, this comedy club's customer service is abysmal and completely ruins what could have been an enjoyable evening. Save your money and sanity, and look for entertainment elsewhere.

    This place was unlike any other comedy bar I've been to, they have table service on your phone or you can go to the bar and get drinks during a lull in the show. I really liked the old school vibe with the ticket booth and the marquee outside. Cocktails were a little pricey but well made. It was really cool to go and order at the bar during the show because I got to say hi to the performers. It's got lots of speakeasy vibes going on. Would recommend giving it a go.

    Best comedy bar in the city, the short girl with the dark long hair is one of the best bartenders I've ever met, wish I got her name. She really made it an experience and not just a comedy show. Will be back again

    Great time, great shows, and great service! Usually great performances, it is comedy so be open minded and tune in for a chuckle and a cheer! Cozy stages and intimate audience experiences. I have visited this comedy Bar multiple times and enjoy it every time! I do find their show times to run a little bit behind schedule yet that's out of control due to performances and the natural theatre experience, but otherwise everything is awesome!

    I had a great time at the ‘The Best Comedians Tonight’ show on Saturday. All the comics were fantastic! This was my second time going to a comedy show and I was not disappointed with this venue. I will definitely be back!

    Went for the pro show on Thursday. The line up was great. Had a fun time. Drinks and snacks can be ordered right from your seat.

    Love the vibes in the bar area. Lighting in the bar and in the stage halls give friendly, cozy, and fun vibes. I went on Friday and it was improv night. Tickets were sold out at noon. The host was really funny but out of the other 7 performers only two of them were good.

    Alright came for the late night show and it was a hit and miss. Moments of laughter and other times just waiting for it to be over so we can leave.. The staff was pleasant, wasn’t too pleased with the camera set up with blocked view. Ofcourse, they can’t control how loud the visitors get at the bar but it was disruptive during the show to hear people screaming outside as the area is divided by a black our curtain

    well designed and decorated venue, good atmosphere. went a week ago and some of the comedians were hilarious, however the headliner didnt really woo the crowd that much. i really appreciate how they have late night shows though.

  • 4/5 Adam H. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Great intimate vibe and friendly staff. Awesome that there is 2 theatres and during the week some nights are free entry! Only con is the main stage isn’t sound proof. So you can hear some of the main area when it gets loud or someone on the speaker is announcing the next show happening at the other stage. Been here a few times and love how close it is too all the great bar spots on bloor.

    We went for Thursday night and had a blast at the pro show. Food / drinks came very quickly and the line up was quite funny.

  • 5/5 Connor 1 year ago on Google
    While the light up sign may have letters unlit, the inside is beautiful, polite and fun staff and it’s extremely well kept and clean and has a great ambiance and feel to it with the bar and superb drinks! Not to mention for the price of the tickets and over an hour of laughs with extremely well priced drinks that can be ordered and delivered to your seat while enjoying the show and for a Toronto located business it’s impressive, it’s something I will most certainly come back to for different shows and bring more family and friends! I truly look forward to my next time!

    Enjoyed our show and had some great laughs. Highly recommend. Keep in mind the tickets sell out fast!

    GUY THAT SEATS PEOPLE IS A PSYCHO. apart from that the improv show we went to was 10/10. There’s a guy that basically screams at people if they move without him saying so when you’re being seated. I’m not the type to leave bad reviews but I had to make a comment about him cause his behaviour was completely unwarranted. He literally screamed at paying guests 3 separate times in the course of 5 mins all cause they would take a few steps past where you’re supposed to wait to be seated. There’s no signage stating to wait plus it’s not hurting anyone waiting 2 feet from the official area. So ridiculous. Just another guy trying to exercise the very little power he has. Every time he would scream, everyone already seated would jump and look at him cause we were all shocked at how insane it was. Again show was great. Drinks were great. Venue great. Dude in charge of telling people where to sit, complete lunatic who shouldn’t be in customer service.

    Spontaneously booked tickets for their “The Pro Show” and I had so much fun! It was my first comedy show ever and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The line up was so funny and they worked well with the crowd. The service was amazing - the drinks we ordered during the show came extremely quickly. Definitely a great first experience at a comedy show and will be recommending it to others!

  • 5/5 Derek W. 1 year ago on Google
    First time attending this club. Great space friendly staff, so easy to order a drink with the qr code set up. Also like the stage they have set up. Can't wait to go there again which will probably be in a day or two!

  • 5/5 Rai M. 9 months ago on Google
    Great show w headliners such as Mike Wilmot, Adrienne Fish, Tyler Morrison, Kenny Robinson. Staff is great, drinks are reasonable. Will be back!

  • 5/5 Peter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for the first time last week and it was a good vibe! The bar area (waiting area) was nice and the comedy room I was in was good too. It did a decent job soundproofing the walls in the comedy room, but when the door opens the sounds obviously spills in. But no complaints!

  • 5/5 Valeria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great comedy shows! Definitely give it 5 stars. No food, but they have snacks and a bar 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Nabil W. 1 year ago on Google
    One of our go to comedy bars in town, they've got a variety of acts coming through every night they're playing which is really nice. We've had no complaints with any of our visits and usually get a lot of good laughs in. If you haven't been, go check them out and use the website to see which shows they've got on so you can pick one that resonates with you as you know, comedy is subjective and what's funny for me might not be funny for you. We've seen full house shows with the acts showcasing their best material and late night shows with acts trying out new material and both have been a lot of fun, try both if you can!

  • 3/5 claire b. 10 months ago on Google
    The venue is down easily 20 steps. They were hard to navigate with my cane. I loved the show and would love to come back to the venue but I most likely won't because of the lack of accessibility. This venue is blatantly excluding the disabled community.

  • 4/5 Nick 9 months ago on Google
    I love the atmosphere and staff. However I feel that they are too woke for comedy. I can’t figure out which bathroom I should use and never heard a politically incorrect joke. However, I always have a good time. Support this place and support all the up and coming artists.

  • 5/5 Sabrina C. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to go on weeknights or weekends :). Drinks are fairly priced and it’s also near other bars too if you want to make it a multi bar evening. The bathrooms are not gender separated but they still have ones with urinals available inside. If you’re catching a drink there are high top tables to sit at. There are tvs playing sports in the background. Since it’s located in a basement with exterior stairs it’s not wheelchair accessible but could be workable for some people needing some assistance with stairs.

  • 4/5 Marchello S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love going there when I have a free evening, it's all very local comedy, and very intimate. Sometimes the show prices are high and I don't really know why. I guess they don't have that people in the audience in a small show. But they might have more people if they charged less.

  • 5/5 Gary T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to catch live shows. The seats are good and you can order drinks through your phone. The mixed drinks are quite good. I do wish they had a slightly better snack selection.

  • 2/5 Dino D. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Two comedians were funny and made it nice, the host’s comedy was just insufferable, what an agony, and the last two comedians had some ok jokes but didn’t handle the interaction with audience great, lots of silence in a comedy it was a big hit and miss, didn’t feel smooth and natural! Better luck next time i guess! Other than that the establishment was fine good place to gather with friends!
