We spent $100 on two tickets to Joe Gatto on Sunday night and were DENIED entry to our show! We drove one hour and ten minutes in pouring rain, paid $25 in tolls, and had to fight for a parking space at the Nyack mall for fifteen minutes.....to be told that my money and time do not matter to this club because we are slightly late. My spouse and I are comedy show regulars who have visited at least bi monthly for over ten years. I have never been so offended and disgusted by the lack of compassion of the people running this club. I will be redirecting my money and future plans to the Stress Factory, and other competitor clubs. ONE STAR IS TOO MUCH!!!

Had the most bizarre experience here and I barely even stepped inside.
Drove 30 minutes out to support a comedian I follow, only to be told I couldn’t buy a ticket at the door because the show had already started 10 minutes ago.
But then was told if I had already bought a ticket, I would’ve been allowed in. So the show wasn’t sold out, they just wouldn’t take my money.
Makes zero sense from a customer or business perspective.
On top of that, the guy at the door was cold and really weird. No courtesy, no professionalism. Needs to be better or just get a new job in a non customer facing role.
This business needs to seriously rethink how it treats their customers. It’s also really hard to find in this ridiculous mall, smells terrible and just in general needs to be better.
Would highly not recommend supporting them at all as is, check out shows from comedians at other venues I’ve never had an experience this bizarre.
