Review of Comedy Store

You can't go wrong here: New comics develop their material, and established ones work out their kinks at this landmark owned by Mitzi Shore (Pauly's mom). The Main Room, which seats 350, features professional stand-ups continuously on Friday and Saturday nights. Several comedians are always featured, each doing about a 15-minute stint. The talent is always first-rate and includes comics who regularly appear on The Tonight Show and other shows. The Original Room, which seats 150, features a dozen or so comedians back-to-back nightly, whereas the smaller Belly Room is for development. As Mitzi likes to say "Life begins in the Belly," so you never know what you might get there. Sunday and Mondays Potluck night is amateur night: Anyone with enough guts can take the stage for 3 minutes -- Lord only knows what you'll see, though celebs have been known to "pop in.".

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
