- Robert ZOttawa, Canada16 contributions10 years of the BEST value entertainment on the Island! 🏝️Aruba Rays Comedy show is 10 years old! I think we’ve been going for 8 of those 10 years and it never disappoints. Always a fun time! The venue has changed a few times over those 10 years and the quality of entertainment is always top notch. And the value! Wow! While everything on the island seems to get more expensive, Aruba Rays remains the best valued entertainment on the island. Here’s to 10 more years!Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 30, 2023
- Shelly H1 contributionBest Night Out in ArubaMy sister and I, the Sisters from Arkansas, had the best time. We laughed until we hurt. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the Double Down Restaurant before the show. The cocktails during the show were amazing (they were amply mixed), and the waitstaff were attentive and polite. This was hands down our favorite night out during our vacation in Aruba. 10 out of 10 recommend.Visited November 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 30, 2023
- Traveler_200950United States464 contributionsGreat Night With Aruba Ray & His “A-list”Aruba Ray is the top banana! Myself and twenty something’s all enjoyed Ray and the whole group of comedians! In fact, we may go to a show next week before we leave again. These are really nice, really funny people who care if the whole audience, including the elevator man, people from New Hampshire and the Canadian grocer had a great time! Thanks for the laughs!Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 4, 2023
- MommaM3Schaumburg, Illinois44 contributionsHilarious night out at Aruba RaysGreat group of comedians had us rolling! First time at a comedy club together. We sat with another couple from Canada who we just met and we had great time! We were lucky to have 4 comedians that night and they are so quick witted about every day life…amazing. Things we are all doing with such a twist! Great night out good drinks beautiful building. Next time we will have dinner before show at restaurant where show is located. Easy parking great staff. Do yourself a favor and buy a ticket you won’t regret it!Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 5, 2023
- DrMomMaryland103 contributionsGreat night out!We went with another couple and had a great time! Four funny comedians with a very interactive crowd. If you are looking for something entertaining to do go here. On the downside for me: I don’t get to say this often but my mixed drink was too strong to drink and the chairs were uncomfortable.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 6, 2023
- Teresa B2 contributionsHalarious Comedy experience!!My family had a great time! All the comedians were halarious. My only hiccup was when I purchased the tickets…I thought it was at the Marriot Ocean Club but it is really at the Eagle Aruba Resort…once we got clarity on location all was well. I still would recommend and had a great time!Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 21, 2023
- Mark JWatertown, Wisconsin11 contributionsAwesome night laughing more than we ever have.We had a group of four couples, we have been to Aruba many times but had not seen Aruba Rays comedy show. One of our group was ill the night of the show and Ray credited us for her ticket no questions asked. Everyone was laughing so hard we could barely speak to each other. Highly recommend this show to anyone! Aruba Ray and his guest were hilarious.Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 14, 2024
- Michael REast Setauket, New York8 contributionsSplit your sides funny comedyIt I'tsnot easy to make me laugh out loud but this show was the funniest comedy show I have ever seen. Set in a new york city comedy club like room, the staff was great. Food looked good, we had already just eaten so did not try it and th drinks were reasonableVisited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 26, 2024
- Ambassador533432 contributionsIf you like to laugh, Aruba Rays is a must do!!This was our third time coming to Aruba Rays and each time is better than the last. There were 8 of us and we laughed out loud the entire time. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. This is a must do on our annual Aruba trip, wouldn’t miss it!! And my friend won a raffle prize.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 30, 2024
- Elise GHudson River Valley, New York1,283 contributionsMy muscles are still aching from the laughter!Hands down, one of the best comedy shows I have seen, and I have seen many! Each standup was funnier than the next. All in all, the content was much cleaner than elsewhere, and it was all thoroughly hilarious. Ray seamlessly held it all together from one act to the next. He connected with the audience. He is so relatable and has a gift of weaving the demographics of audience members into the show. The routines that all of the comics offered were not canned. Though some were practiced jokes, so much of the evening was filled with spontaneity. I was in stitches, along with the packed house! Thank you, Ray for bringing laughter to our lives! It was a great birthday present!Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 1, 2024

First let me start by saying that Ray and his staff are amazing! They make everyone feel so welcomed as they greet everyone when arriving and make sure everyone is happy! The comedians are top notch....and then there is Ray! He is amazing! He is by far the best comedian out there! No other comedians that I have seen (and I’ve seen many many many) can interact with his audience the way Ray can! He is quick on his feet and can make a joke about anything....yet never insulting! It’s a true talent to be able to keep the audience laughing without pre-writing you material! Here’s to you Ray for giving me my husband and four children a great night out!!! If you want to laugh until you cry then this show is for you!!

There were (4) of us and everyone agreed that the Show was amazing with (4) great comics which includes Ray the MC. The decor and setup were plain but the comics gave good clean jokes. We have been to many comedy shows where the comics use vulgar jokes way too much but not the show we saw.
The show we saw rates with the top Comedy shows in NYC and San Fran. At the end of the show the Comics stand outside to greet everyone which I though added a nice personal touch. So in summary, if you are looking for a great show at reasonable pricing than make sure you go to Aruba Ray’s Comedy Show.

It was a great treat to finally attend a comedy show after over a year of not seeing live entertainment. Ray had an amazing ability to improve with the audience which was my favorite part of the show. Also tables are nicely distanced to make us more comfortable! Def check it out!

Aruba Ray's Comedy was the highlight of our trip. As comedy buffs we like to see comedy when we travel and this show did not disappoint. @raycomedy (Ray Ellin) was a hysterical host with excellent crowd work skills, setting a high-energy and engaging tone for the night. The line up of comedians was top-notch with @katiehanniganforever and @comicmikev (Mike Vecchione) as particular stand outs. I highly recommend adding ARC to your itinerary. I was a thrill to see live comedy again (Covid safe). I'll be back next time I'm in Aruba and will try to catch these guys in a club stateside!

I had heard on the radio that Lenny Clarke was going to be in Aruba the same time we were, so i booked the show. I was not disappointed. He was hilarious and so were the other comedians including the host Ray. Enjoyed every minute of it and I would go again when I return to Aruba.

Fantastic comedy show! It’s a must during your vacation. Tables spread out for social distancing and a limited number of tickets makes this feel like a safe activity to attend. Your host, Aruba Ray Ellin, makes you feel right at home and his selective choice in comedians are a hit night after night. We attended two shows during our trip, and both were well worth it! Yay! Comedy!

Second year we went to the show. This venue is much larger than the previous time at the Marriott. Holiday Inn has real nice room for the show. Was tremendous once again and even better as this time Ray was a headliner as well. Was sitting in second row at table and enjoyed being singled out one time. Really funny show as a Ray and Two other comics, lady from a Vegas and guy from a Boston, Coltan or something like that we’re tremendous as well. These guys are so quick on their feet countering answers to audiences responses it is just fabulous. Highly recommend for all adults. Can’t miss.

Went to the comedy show March 11. Hours of nonstop laughs. Host Ray Ellin was at his best and was funny as hell while gently picking on audience members. Sarah Tollemache regaled the crowd with stories of her full bush. Joe List used a low key approach to keep the audience laughing. Tony V recounted hilarious stories from his life which I’m sure were mostly true. The show again proved to be the best entertainment value on the island, or on the planet for that matter. Great job Ray!!!

This is a great addition to Aruba nightlife. My husband and I purchased the dinner and comedy show package. Davinci’s Italian Restaurant at the Holiday Inn Resort was much more authentic Italian than our expectations. Delicious 3 course dinner.
The comedy stage was setup in a conference room at the Holiday Inn which might seem too casual but actually was intimate. The comedians were very funny and it was an enjoyable evening.
Thank you Aruba Ray.

The Ray’s Comedy show had three comedians. All were really good but Ray Ellin has a special talent to truly improvise with an audience. His presentation is great! We saw the show at the Holiday Inn Resort and Casino. It was such a good show the other couple and my husband and I decided to go to a second show! It was fantastic as well!

The comedy club’s website has no info..does that mean it’s not open? I’m flying in this Thursday June 27th...
Written June 25, 2019
The comedy club is at the Marriott twice during the year, each time for three weeks or so - once in December and once in February-March. Checking with the Marriott for the actual schedule is a good idea.

I think $30 a piece. The drink plan was $20 pp. We didn't order the drink plan
Written March 20, 2018
$40 at the showroom door. $36 online, with a web fee of $2. The upside of getting them online is that you are guaranteed a seat, even if you show up a minute before showtime. And you save a couple of dollars on each ticket when you purchase them in advance.
