  Drove to this Improv from Chicago to see Aries Spears. Great show. It was the 9pm show on Saturday night so it was his last show of the weekend. He did look tired but he did not disappoint. This venue is great. It is much better than the one close to Chicago in Schaumburg. Not a bad seat in the house. It was sold out so service was a little slow. They forgot to bring out our drinks so we had to wait for that. But our waitress did not disappoint hooked up 2 complimentary drinks and also gave us 4 passes to a future show of our choice. Great time at a Great venue will be back.

  Took wife to see Jeff Allen. Ordered from the QR code when the opening guy went on. Got our food 20 mins before the show ended. It was cold. Might have been good if it came out hot. At the end of the show we were attempting to eat the flocks French fries and were asked if we were waiting for anything. I said no, just finishing up. The waitress told us that we had to leave because they were cleaning up and closing down. This was maybe 10 minutes after the show ended. Jeff was solid. His opener was terrible. Overall very disappointing.

  As someone that’s been to 80+ comedy shows from small, local open mics to Fiserv... I can tell you, go to any other comedy venue. The extra 20 minutes to Milwaukee is worth it. What’s a shame is that the servers/staff were nice, the venue itself is cool with a booth and table layout. Intimate without feeling small.. that’s where the pros stop. No where on the ticket does it say 2 item minimum. Cheapest food item was $10 French fries. Food/Drink are to be ordered through a QR code leading to confusion and more trips to and from the tables for the servers in a busy crowd. The table next to us didn’t order through the QR code but from a server directly, and they were served minutes before the comedian was done with their set (1 hour after ordering). When we left they were still eating their food while servers were apologizing - to me that’s a management problem, not the severs, I felt bad for the servers when clearly it’s a management issue. Cocktails were expensive and overly sugary, beer choices were meh. We got fried pickles served to us in a literal bowl of grease and somehow they were barely warm? The 3 tiny pretzels at $15 were still frozen in some areas when we were served them. Kitchen was backed up, understandably, so we didn’t get served until most of the way through the comedians set. No way to get a servers attention during the middle of a stand up act to right the barely warmed frozen food we were served. This is venue could really be something if they got their food and drink correct, and actually got some good comedians to perform - sorry but even C and D list comedians aren’t worth the ticket prices AND the 2 item min with how pricey everything is.

  Comics were great (hence the second star), but couldn't have been more miserable in the seats we were given. Basically sat with our backs to a table with our feet in the aisle. And it was the main throughfare for the waitstaff. Spent the entire show looking around wait staff and being bumped into by them. Then just to make sure my night was as miserable as possible. Drinks were served over my legs dripping wet with no napkin. Then my deep fried oreos didn't come out for an hour after my drink (coffee). And they were colder than the melted ice cream that came with them. Just an absolute fail by the venue.

  I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. Covered, well-lit parking, friendly employees, delicious food and drinks, and not a bad seat in the house. Sure, the drinks are a little pricey, but they’ve got to pay the comedians! We absolutely loved it. Drove 4 hours and we’d do it again!
