The message on the top of their webpage says “THIRD PARTY TICKETS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. THOSE USING THIRD PARTY TICKET SITES WILL BE REFUSED ENTRANCE.”, which is a BIG FAT LIE!!! I noticed this on the day of the show and confirmed this with TCS by email. I hastily ordered more tickets from their site thinking I could resolve the issue with my credit card, as suggested by TCS. I tried using the third party tickets at the entrance and they turned out to be VALID! Comedy store won’t answer the phone or respond to my emails requesting a refund on the extra tickets that were unnecessary. After being screwed into buying more tickets, it’s pretty much impossible to laugh or have a good time at their show.☹️
This and American Comedy Co are the best comedy clubs in San Diego. The headliners are consistently excellent. Between the openers and headliners, most shows go for over an hour and a half, which is a great value for the price. The two drink minimum is fine, and even when you account for that, the tickets are a good deal. Seating is open and a little tight, but that adds to the ambience. The no phone policy with yondr bags is a great addition that limits interruptions and distractions. I’m always excited to grab tickets when I recognize a comedian on the event calendar.
I’ve been to a lot of comedy shows across the country. Throughout the night as usual, some clearly were more experienced than others but everyone gave their best shot. But the fake Italian accent guy deserves no part of being on a comedy stage. He single handedly ruined your show with his derogatory comments for 10 minutes straight about mentally handicapped individuals. A joke here or there, sure, but the way he went on for 10 minutes was disrespectful to comedy and honestly ruined the entire 2 hours prior to it for me. I hope your company can make the proper changes that the entire audience clearly noticed too. Everyone after the show thought the same thing and was vocal about it. It was a decent night, but would have been much better had we not had to listen to him. Honestly was appalled, and this is the first time I’ve ever felt this way after a comedy show. I understand it’s fair game when up there, but this was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed.
This place was so much fun! They didn’t allow phones so no photos to share but the comics were funny and entertaining! It was a great date night out spot and I would happily attend again. They did require a 2 drink minimum (alcoholic or non alcoholic) but that wasn’t too overbearing. I do hope that in the future they can expand their food offerings and maybe even have a few more gluten free things aside from the popcorn.
Came on a Thursday for "San Diego's best.". Great atmosphere and efficient staff. Show was was good and featured many different genres of comedy.
