"Hands down one of the best places to perform in the country. It's how a comedy club is supposed to be! It's in a basement, it's dark and the audiences are great. The AA Showcase offers a talented variety of comedians and they are supportive of the local stand up scene."

This comedy club was great, great drinks, great wait staff and no matter where you're seated you'll have a great view of the stage. The comics were hilarious and me and my friends had an awesome time. Kristin Keys was hilarious � if you ever get a chance to see her GO!!
