Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase in Ann Arbor

The Ann Arbor comedy showcase has been around since 1984. It has moved a couple of times and is currently located on 4th street, downstairs. There is an elevator. Tickets are $20 a person and there is no reserved seating. There are two shows on Saturday at 7:30 and 930, one show on Friday I believe just at 7:30. I have been twice this fall and both times were good experiences. Last time I think I enjoyed the comics a little bit more than this time, but they've all been good. Last time we were in the front row,  this time we were off to the side. I didn't catch the name of our comics and when I went to the website I couldn't figure out how to find out who we had previously seen,  so I apologized to the comics that I saw last night and the previous time that I'm not able to give you a shout out.  I will tell you that the woman, who was the headliner Saturday, was pretty funny. They have waitstaff they will take your drink order. My friend had the caramel apple martini, I had a beer. They have a variety of mixed drinks and beers. It is not the place for a wine connoisseur but it is a comedy venue and not a wine bar they do have non-alcoholic drinks and they have a few snacks such as popcorn, peanuts, pretzels and nachos.

First "event" since COVID hit and we had a great time! Have been here in the past prior to COVID with good experiences as well. Popcorn and drinks were good. Server was attentive and wore mask consistently. While we were comfortable where we were seated, there were three couples sitting in front of us that did not appear to be in a group together and were sitting right next to each other (although cannot say for certain they didn't know each other, there was no interaction among them). It's a re...

Decent option for a different experience than the bar scene.  The venue is in the basement of a building remodeling effort and the interior could use some serious renovating.  Staff was friendly. My advice, skip the Long Island (sugar water) and go for mixed drinks.  At least you'll be able to know that your drink has some alcohol in it.   Again, keep expectation low for the ambiance and take in the talent of the comic performing and your night should be enjoyable
