Acme Comedy Company — Restaurant in Minneapolis

From the beginning the group I went with was not impressed. When we got there they had a flyer hanging that said free 4 tickets during your birthday month. Lucky for us we had two people who were born in September meaning all 7 of us would get in free! When we got to the area to purchase tickets they said that deal is only Monday-Thursday. No where on the sign did they put that there were certain days you could attend. They still did not stand by their sign. One gentleman was actually very polite and said if we would like to return for the later show he may be able to work something out. The other gentleman (if I would even call him that) rudley interrupted and said no this is how we make our money. Once being over charged for our tickets of 18.00 a piece we were seated. We called to reserve seats at 12:00 for the 8:00 show and still ended up in the very back of the room behind multiple large thick wooden poles. They way over sold their tickets and crammed everyone they could into the room. As my legs were already touching the chair in front of me and I was shoulder to shoulder with those around me the wait staff told me I would need to move forward because they are not able to get through. The fact the over sold tickets is not my problem. I was already crammed into my seat I paid 18.00 for and behind a pole with no room. I was not the only person who thought is was ridiculous as the woman in the group next to us was complaining as well. I ordered a drink and the Bloody Mary was absolutely horrible! The waitress never came back again during the show to ask if I wanted another drink or to even check how things were tasting. She kept my credit card the whole show yet did not return why keep it if you were not going to get us more drinks. I have been to MULTIPLE comedy clubs and never have I been to somewhere this horrible with such horrible staff. Over all comedians were fine but I would never give this place my business again. Very...

Horrible experience. We were originally planning to go as a double date with friends. I didn’t realize my friend had bought all 4 of our tickets so I went ahead and bought 2. Minutes after purchasing I called to have cancelled. The person on the phone wasn’t sure if they could cancel and said a manager would call me back. No call back. I left multiple messages but no call/email saying my tickets had been cancelled/refunded. So since their website does clearly state “no refunds” I just assumed I was not getting refunded. So we asked 2 more people to come with as we had 6 tickets.

We show up and the lady tells me my tickets were cancelled. She brought over a manger who then left for like ten minutes while we just stood there. He came back with a print out saying that a manger called saying I would be refunded. Lies. He then said “I don’t understand why you would’ve invited two more people if you weren’t sure”. Really?!? Because no one called me!! So I said “I don’t get to go to the show at all??” His response “No, you should’ve have brought two more people” and walked away.

Fortunately the girl working will call was able to sell us another two tickets after a certain time. The manger then told us “we’ll make room for you”. Ummm it’s not “making room” if I bought two more tickets.

Just awful. We drove almost an hour to attend the show. I had just gotten back from deployment and was excited to get to see some friends. The comics weren’t even that great. Not only will we never be back, but making sure none of our friends go...

Acme Comedy is a fabulous venue. on the North Part of DT Minneapolis near Riverplace area. There is somewhat ample parking lot acriss the street .They have a promo called the " Birthday Club" whereby you can get 1 to 4 Tix on most shows in the month of your birthday . Tickets are usually $20 to $30 The room is below ground with a brick exterior that makes it feel a comfortable " cool " ambience. No air conditioning There is a very large selection of adult beverages of beer wine and mixed drinks. There is iced tea and 🍋 made. We saw ..Comedienne Erica Rhodes on Friday , June 27 She was hilarious 😆 as usual with self deprecatimg humor. She also had material about romantic/ comedic relationships, observational humor, living alone, dealing with male chauvinistic. She makes light of tragic subjects like our Crazy President of the United States Donald Rump. Erica converses with select audience members when looking for a common bond. She dresses well in white puffy blouses. I have seen her 3 or 4 times. She mixed in old classic jokes with new material. Since there are fans that are just seeing her Live for the first time. She is able to change your voice inflection and volume to make the one+ liners funnier. Erica also tells funny stories in long form. about her personal life of family and friends. She teases that locals think she is Minnesotan from her blonde hair and blue eyes. Highly recommend her comedic professional and raporte. Acme Comedy Club also has American food at the deluxe bar by...
