Went to a secret show here on a Thursday evening. No pictures because they take your phone and lock it in a bag during the show. Not a big deal to me but for you people that can’t go without your phone just prepare yourself. The lineup was pretty good. A nice mix of some know comedians and some not so much. The lineup was huge, something like 15 comedians that night. Overall a great show! Staff was hit or miss, nothing special or overly helpful. Still a great place to check out for sure.
I attended this venue for the first time the other night to see Joe Rogan do some stand up. What a great space!The staff was just as impressive, from the hosts, wait staff, bartenders and management, all outstanding. Super cool vibe and people. Check this place out for sure. If you are looking for something to do from out of town while in Austin, this is a great spot to experience live entertainment.?
My experience seeing Joe Rogan the other night was great. The staff was nothing but polite and attentive to us and the show was very fun. They will only kick you out or tell you to be quiet if you are talking during the show, which is what they should do! The table next to us was kicked out after being given 3 warnings, and we were quite happy as their talking was distracting from the event we paid a lot of money for. Heads up, the drinks are double the cost of a normal bar (our tab was $50 for 5 modelo cans and 2 water bottles). Though I am still giving 5 stars because beyond those high bar prices, we were pleased with our experience. I left my wallet there and didn’t realize until the next day, but it was securely kept behind the bar for me. So the staff is trustworthy if something like that were to happen, which is nice to know. As long as you’re a kind and considerate guest, you will be treated with respect.
They take the fun out of comedy. Be prepared to have your phone confiscated and locked up while you are inside. They have a LONG list of rules and aggressive staff absolutely delighted to reprimand guest for perceived infractions. There are plenty of fun and relaxing places to see comedy here. Skip this joy-less, fun-sucking place.
I feel like I really need to balance the scales here, because I made the mistake of reading the reviews before I went to the Kill Tony show and I became increasingly less enthusiastic about seeing a comedy show that I came all the way from Chicago to see- but I had a fantastic time! The show itself was amazing, Tony and redban are even better live! The prices were fair (especially compared to the Chicago prices that I am used to paying) and the staff was at sweet as can be! No one in our party was shushed, kicked out, or overcharged. We will be back for sure!
I would give this venue negative stars. We were treated extremely poorly by the staff and kicked for laughing too loud at a comedy show. The staff hovered behind us & every time we laughed the staff stepped straight up to shhh us. My husband was pushed out of the venue by multiple bouncers for laughing. I still can’t believe it. No refunds for an expensive private table. They also charged us full tip on a tab we didn’t get to close ourselves. We didn’t even get to see the act we paid for. Ruined our week. The worst venue management I have ever met & I am an event manager.
Worst venue I’ve ever been to. My friend was physically assaulted by one of the bouncers because he complained about being overcharged for drinks he didn’t order. He was talking in a respectful voice, and was grabbed by the throat and pushed out of the club. Don’t go here unless you want to be physically assaulted!
Supposedly you’re not allowed to laugh at jokes or ask the server for a drink because it’s considered “too loud”. You’re better off going in there with your mouth taped. I would avoid this place for comedy at all costs. They constantly shush you and are constantly watching you. You will be kicked out with no explanation.
Went for their comedy show as it was referred to us by a local, their G.A is pretty reasonable, small venue no bad seats, they seat you with other people if you are a couple. They don't have very attentive table service, one of the waitstaff seemed wasted. We enjoyed 4 out of the 8 comedians, mainly because they other four comedians were way to rounchy for our taste. Their cocktails are mediocre, stick to beer. Comedy shows run about 2 hours. Comedy venue is on the side of 6th Street known as Dirty sixth by the locals, plenty of night clubs and music Venus to pick from after the comedy show is over.
I had a fantastic experience, I saw the deathsquad secret show. Great atmosphere, very friendly front door guys and bartenders. Every comedian that came out Thursday night killed it. One of the best comedy shows I've ever seen, I will definitely be planning another trip to Austin Texas to visit this place again soon! ? Thank you for a great time!
