Saw Joe Rogan. Nice place with a no heckling rule. Had a two menu item minimum per person but the food was really good for this sort of place. Had fried mushrooms and cheese sticks. Both were good and I'd bet both were frozen. But overall a really nice night. WARNING!!! Only park in the strip center parking lot. Everywhere around there will tow you. Just wait for the show prior to yours to end and there'll be plenty of spaces.
I've never been to a comedy club before. I loved the show I saw here, but I was upset finding out that there is a "two item minimum". I don't know if this is common practice or not, but it did upset me. I had already consumed dinner and was absolutely full before going there. I don't drink alcohol, either. So I didn't have a super excellent time knowing I had to purchase something I wasn't going to enjoy. I ended up getting a soda and a milkshake, but was rather unsatisfied by most of that. Also, there is a mandatory 15% gratuity.
Tldr: not budget or waistline friendly.
You are in Austin but have access to the same acts gracing LA, New York and other world class venues. Cap City is under rated and really under billed. This is street level stand up in the purest form. One time an act set and painted a work of art as he amazed, entertained and humored the barely appreciating crowd. Everyone laughed. Our bellies hurt until the very end when the final joke hit home and we all realized we were merely animals on display. Jailed in confines of polite society and gaurded by aspirations of our inadequacy. The last stroke revealed a chimpanzee brooding. Intelligent enough only to comprehend the futility of this comprehension and to appreciate the sad irony of knowing it.
After hours of laughing we all left wiser. And somewhat suicidal.
I'd recommend to my friends.
Service was excellent! Food was delicious! We did the Valentine's package, and it was well worth the money. Honestly, it's my favorite comedy club in Austin!
I had a great time. The wait staff is friendly and the comedians were great. My only complaint would be that I don't think there should be a 2 drink minimum after paying for reserved seating. I didn't want to drink or eat anything as we had just gone to dinner and had drinks at the restaurant. I mean you pay online for tickets, pay an extra fee for getting the tickets, then you have to pay again once your there because there is a 2 drink minimum.
