Comedy Zone — Restaurant in Greensboro

I’m being nice by leaving 3 stars, let me tell you why. This club is sadly the best comedy club Greensboro has to offer. It stands for nothing the Greensboro culture is. Being in the audience while bsimone preformed, was a great first time experience with her. When it comes to the club! I booked my V.I.P tickets for a birthday night out. I arrived on time, nobody was at the front to walk us to our seats. We sat at a open table not at the very front, which I was hoping for. 5min later after a waiter takes our drink orders, here comes Matilda! “ You have to reserve a spot to be here”. Mind you I booked my tickets January 31st for the February 5th show tonight! HOW ARE YOU MANAGING BUT DON’T KNOW WHO YOUR V.I.P Guest are ????¿¿¿???. Place honestly needs to be shut down. They were serving many drinks without much food and expecting there guest to drive back safely???????????? We order only an appetizer because after reviewing their menu… I dined in at the 1816 Midtown. The club honestly gave’s off a Greedy vibe. The crowd was obnoxious and was not a representation of Greensboro, NC. I was embarrassed 😳 for the staff. I work in corporate America. This is not how you treat customers. Also we never got our appetizers after the hour long show was over. The best comedians usually don’t return back. Bismone is better than this club. This is a joke. Literally.

Side note*

The huge table ahead of us, had a guy spit on the floor! No class! Disgusting 🤮 a lady dropped her chapstick on this spit and then picks it up and puts the chapstick in her purse 👜 while standing in the spit she’s probably going to track into her household. Excuse me? Are we not in a pandemic? Yes I’m at a comedy club. Still basic hygiene codes should...

The rating is based off ComedyZone has a restaurant & place of business. Last night I attended the Desi Banks show which was great. My best friend & I were seated rather quickly. We’re seated with two other girls- still no problem, our server comes to our table within 5 min to take our order none of us are ready yet. She returns in approximately 10 min everyone at the table is ready to order. The two girls were seated with orders two chicken tender baskets & fries no drinks… yet. We order chicken wing, shrimp basket & two bar beverages. Our drinks came in approximately 10 min. After about 25 min of placing our order the two girls seated with us are served their meals by the food runner. The server returns to check on them & proceeds to then take their drink order. Their drinks are made within 10 min. When the server returns with their drinks I say can you make sure tartar sauce comes out with my meal. She replies, yes! We’re now on the 3rd comedian, our table partners have finished their meal & drinks, the show is winding down, our server hasn't been over to check on us but has repeatedly walked past our table. 15 min before the headliner ends she brings over a bill & gives this flabbergasted face of omg u guys didn’t get your food but here I am with a bill. I immediately ask for the supervisor & the food runner comes out as Sup. I ask how will this be fixed. She says we can still make the order (end of show) but will be charged full price. ComedyZone took no responsibility for lack of service while we patronized this establishment. I will definitely attend again but will ensure I dine elsewhere...

I don’t think I’ve ever done a negative review on Google before, but we were truly disappointed in The Comedy Zone. We came to see the Adult Magic Show on Saturday, Sept 22st. The hostesses were friendly and let us choose our seat, which was nice. The MC was funny as well as the comedy magician, though the middle act, and older guy, was really disappointing.

As far as the service goes, that’s where things were pretty rough. We didn’t speak to our waitress at all until we’d been in our seats for over 30 min. Other patrons seated after us were served well before we even spoke to her. Once we did order, it took another 15 min to get our drinks. Because it took so long to talk to her the first time, we went ahead and ordered two drinks. I ordered a martini and a double vodka tonic. The “double” vodka tonic came in a standard tumbler, the photo I attached. We double checked with the waitress that it was a double, and she said yes. See, if it was a double in a standard tumbler, I’d be choking on the vodka. In this drink, I’m not sure then even put any vodka in it.

My husband ordered two gin and tonics with Bombay. She came back with Tanquerey. Not a big deal, but also not what he ordered.

In top of this, they automatically charge 15% gratuity so they can “hire and keep the best waitstaff in Greensboro.” So, not only did we get terrible service and terrible drinks, but we couldn’t even choose how much to tip. I hope a lot of that tip goes to the hostesses, cooks and food runners. That would make me feel better.

I gave two stars because the hostesses were great and the show was...
