Instead of a drink minimum, we have a two-item per person minimum in the Showroom, which can be fulfilled with any food or drink items from the menu. Food and drinks purchased in the bar and lounge do not count towards the two-item minimum.

Please Note: If you choose not to order anything in the showroom, there is a $3.50 charge per item not purchased. This charge covers our costs so we can continue providing you with great laughs!


  • General Admission seating is assigned on a first-come, first-sat basis as you enter the showroom. The earlier you arrive, the better your seats will be.
