Moved from NYC. My husband and I love comedy , we hadn't found a spot that was as good as the ones we used to go to in NYC. Zanies is awesome! TIP: free on Tuesdays if you live in the neighborhood !

Great selection of comedians with different styles. Make sure to arrive early, as the place packs up well before shows start. Also, don't forget the two drink minimum per person!

Dana Danielle

You go for the comedy not the drinks and food:) It's always freezing make sure to layer your clothes ! Awesome comedians !

Christopher King

Get there early before any show; drinks: $5 soda/call drink; $8.50 cocktail ; food seemed reasonably priced, although didn't have any ($4-5.50 pretzels/nacho cheese ); quaint venue

Drinks are strong but tasty. The audience is packed in like sardines, so try to arrive early for a close seat.
