Reviews

Four Insider Pagers give Comedy Off Broadway an average of four stars, while three Google Mappers give it an average of three:

• The seating was very crowded...I was a bit uncomfortable being elbow to elbow with strangers. However, once the comedians begin their routines, I was not as nervous. Suddenly, these strangers and I were sharing laughter, this is when I felt more comfortable. – Google Maps reviewer on 5/2/2010
• The experience varies depending on which comedian you see so do your homework first. You have to buy at least one drink. The service is decent and the location is great for dining before or after. – Fay W., Insider Pages
