Neighborhood: Upper East Side
Combining quiet residential neighborhoods that have easy access to Central Park with world-famous cultural institutions, the Upper East Side is one of the most livable places in the city. Along beautiful Fifth Avenue, you’ll find Museum Mile, which houses many of the nation's most famous attractions in a single stretch, like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Walk a few blocks into the neighborhood, and you’ll come to Park Avenue, the poshest address in the city, lined with grand apartment buildings as far as the eye can see. Even if you can’t afford the luxury goods along Madison Avenue, it’s still a great spot to window shop an afternoon away.

We were in NYC June 4 - 9 and decided to checkout a comedy club. Gotham and Carolines were only showing NEW Talent on the night we had available so I phoned Dangerfields. They told me they had a great line-up, listed comedians from the Dave Chapelle show, Last comic standing and such... They lied. The comics weren't bad but when they introduced them, the only TV background they had was as extras in a shows, not as comedians.
The club is old and in a yukky area but the regular dimly lit decor is as you expect. They charged $14.50 cover but tell you that there is no drink minimum but REMEMBER, there is Tax on top as well as an automatic 15% gratuity. The drink menu does NOT have prices listed so make sure you ask...
The comics were okay but we put the night down to experience. Our bill came to $91 US?? That's the cover and 2 drinks each!! $12 US a drink!
BE AWARE!!

Pretty poor overall experience. Furniture is from the 60s, front of the house was a mess, and the worst part...
They force you to a 2 drink minimum (which is standard at nyc comedy clubs so that’s not what I’m upset about) but even a bud light was a whopping $14!!!!!!!. So even when you try to get a cheap beer, they jack up the prices so much that it doesn’t matter. You’re much better off at comedy cellar, UCB, or Gotham.

I really enjoyed the comics we saw at this spot and the drinks were as expected, high priced two drink minimum but not a bad deal for good comedy in the city.
However, the front of the house (hosts at entry) made things so awkward and edgy they killed the experience, not to mention the place has not been remodeled since 1974. I don’t believe I am comfortable going back but it’s too bad because the talent was above par!

This place is on life support waiting for a donor. Unfortunately they probably won’t get the donor because their staff are all a bunch of A -holes
The comedy sucked but the service was worse. There were no prices on the menu and my waiter told my wife $13 a drink. apparently I ordered specialty cocktail((gin and soda... real fancy). $17.
I questioned the charge actually quite calmly the server started freaking out. When I continued to dispute it he started throwing glasses literally he through about 3 glasses while I talked to his boss. The boss did lower the cost but treated me like garbage,.. as if I was just a loser who goes to bars and asks for a discount at the end of the night. Garbage
Oh and by the way I still couldn’t get an explanation but i think they charge cover even if you bought tickets. Never heard of this but maybe it’s common. Isn’t a ticket your cover?

Bought tickets from a guy outside the Rock. Tina Fey blah blah TV cameras there yadda yadda. Anyhooo was looking for something to do that night so handed over 40 bucks. Arrived at the venue early the owner guy was sat at the doorway and was straight out of New York central casting could barely see him for ciggie smoke (more later). Got in and were warmly welcomed found a table and ordered Margeruitas. Mine tasted like afformentioned owner dude had stubbed his fag in it. I am not gonna give a bad review as the comics were brilliant all ten of them and that's what we came for. The place itself is a bit rough round the edges but a nice atmosphere and I did get pulled up on stage by one of the female comedians as I was "the whitest guy in the place", Go for the experience pay at the door and stick to Corona.

The guy pictured below told my teenage daughter and I that this was a clean, tv appropriate comedy show for kids 12 and up. I spent $40 for two tickets for a show you can buy $4 tickets for online and then another $40 on the required two drinks a person. Yes, that's 10 sodas. Shame on me for being fooled. But the worst part was how raunchy nasty it was. I wish I could scrub my brain. And I feel so bad about exposing my daughter to disgusting details of nasty sexual atrocities bragged about by disturbed men calling this comedy. We left as soon as we felt safe leaving-this wasn't a friendly environment.

Terrible value. This is really barely legal. Youre being told that you pay 40 Dollars for the VIP tickets even though there are only VIP tickets. So youre not really VIP...Secondly you are being given a "special price" when you hesitate and they tell you Jay-Z or Chris Rock are very likely coming tomorrow or the next day. On Groupon you can buy the tickets for 5 bucks because they still mae money off of you. Because when you get there you have to pay extra just to get a table (20 Dollars per person!!) and you HAVE to get at least one drink each. So your super "special price" comes to over 80 Dollars even though you thought it would be 30. Staff is rude and comedians are not worthy of their name.
Stay away!

We bought our tickets off a ticket salesman in Times Square, who told us that the tickets were being offered at a special price of US$20 per person. He also said that the show would be suitable for my 13 year old daughter. He lied !!! The US$20 was no special price at all. He did not tell us that there was a minimum service charge of US$20 per person in addition to the entrance fee !! In addition, although the cocktails were good, the food was mediocre and the show was certainly not suitable for a 13 year old, and to be honest the comedians didn't impress me too much either.

After being approached by a helpful young man in times square selling tickets we decided to take a chance, the line-up on that evening sounded great and thought we were getting good value for money.
When we arrived for the show we were met by "tickets"..... "is this the comedy gig?" i asked, "tickets" we were told again, gave them our ticket and taken to a table infront of the stage. The grand total number of guests was around 10 people, and with 6 performers we thought we would still be in for a good night.
Well, NOT ONE of the promised comedians was there that evening, the ticket seller in Times Square lied through his teeth just to get a sale and we had to endure 6 comedians we had never heard of, granted they were mediocre, but with 10 people in the audience there was more time listening to the air-con than the laughs (but that's the comedians and i can't base their performance on the venue).
However the most amazing part was the waiter, THE MOST RUDE man you will ever meet, I can't summon enough words to describe his attitude to service. My wife asked for rosé wine, "NO!" we were told, even thought it is on the menu. I asked for a beer just to ask for something simple. He wandered off without a word and came back 10 mins later and dumped them down and walked off, no smile, no thank you, nothing. Turns out it's a 2 drink per person minimum so we HAD to buy another afterwards, it was the rules.
SO;
ticket = $40
table service (you didn't get a choice) = $20
small glass of wine = $16 (x2 = $32)
small bottle of beer = $12 (x2 = $24)
The waiter then dumped the bill on the table with a $12 tip automatically added on, i gave him the payment for the drinks WITHOUT the tip and he was not happy, he wouldn't leave us alone DURING the middle of the comedy gig and the comedian asking him to please be quiet. This guy charged us £20 for the worst table service ever and wanted another $12 for a tip, I would have tipped if there was any resemblance of service, but it was hands down the worst I have experienced - my wife had to listen to me complain about how hilariously bad it was for the next few days.
In Summary;
- Lying ticket sellers to get you in the door
- Over priced tickets for what you get
- Over priced table service for the worst table service known to human kind
- Over priced food on the menu (thank god we didn't eat there)
- Over priced drinks (and you HAD to buy 2, it's the rules)
- The worst waiter I have ever met and do not wish upon anyone to ever meet.
Don't waste your time, please always check Trip Advisor before visiting a venue, we made the mistake and paid for it.
Please note this is not a representation of the comedians on that evening, they were amusing enough but not who we were promised we were going to see.

Sold tickets in times square, were assured they were cheaper than the 30 dollar charge on the door, they weren't, the door price is actually 20.
Two drink minimum would be fine if the drinks were a reasonable price, they don't display them on the menu and they have a poor selection.
Alcohol helps comedy so why not have your minimum and reasonable pricing? People will drink more. You're just going to have a lot of sober pissed off customers. Which, surprise surprise, everyone was.
Display your prices as well, don't try and pull the wool over people's eyes and it wouldn't kill you to run a few specials either.
The comedy was fine, we were promised several TV writers but they didn't show up. At the end the head waiter told a few jokes, they were terrible. Most of the comics were pretty good, some were more than a little sexist.
They also kept checking their phones and asking the same questions of the audience, they hadn't watched each other's sets. They also kept calling us 'a strange crowd', like it was our fault they couldn't make us laugh.
I wouldn't go again or recommend it to anyone else.

I am not sure but I don't think there is an age minimum. When I was there, we met a couple who was celebrating her graduation from college (so she was about 21 years old). She said she went there with her parents 10 years ago and wanted to relive it...so she must have been about 11 years old the first time she went. (She was disappointed because the show did not live up to her memory). Having said that, I don't think th material that the "comedians" presented would be appropriate for all ages.
