All the comedians brought it tonight! No subject was taboo! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Would recommend this evening for all, especially cute for a date scenario.
Go to a Comedy Oakland show! Of 10 venues in the Bay Area that I have seen comedy, this was by far the best experience. A comfortable room, vibrant atmosphere, friendly (NOT PUSHY) staff, courteous hosts, treats their comedians well.
What a great way to watch and support live and local comedy. We were looking for a spur of the moment activity and saw this.
I feel like I'm gonna be returning often to this gem of a venue for a little bit (ok maybe a lot!) of drinks and laughs.
