Overall

This place is a joke. No pun intended. Please be aware if you go to this place and intend on laughing too much, you will get kicked out. I've been told I have a contagious laugh and people usually love to laugh with me. But not here. First, we were in the line to get in to Jo Koy which went by fast no problem there. But when we walked in they sat us for dinner with our backs facing the stage so my sister politely asked the waitress if we could be moved to a different table where our backs wouldn't be facing the stage. The waitress politely said "let me check", I heard her ask the guy that had the seating chart and he replied to her " they sit where I tell them" Wow! OK, rude. So my sister heard him say this, she got up and went to go talk to a women who we thought was the manager, she apologized and said she would talk to him about that and she handed us free tickets for any Improv. Which was really nice of her. By this time, everybody around us had had drinks and food on their table. We still hadn't even been greeted by our waiter/waitress yet. After about 20 minutes I finally had to ask one of the waiters for help with food and drinks, they apologized and said "sorry we will be right with you" another 15 or so minutes go by and again I pulled a waiter and said this is ridiculous I have been waiting for a waiter for over 35 minutes. The people surrounding us were already finished eating and on their 2nd drinks. By this time I requesting to speak with the manager, the same lady that gave us the free tickets before came over and apologized again, she even said "it seems like we are all against you right" WTF! Seriously, yeah. They finally took our order and the other people in my party got their orders except for me! WHAT IS GOING ON!!! The comedians had already started and were super funny, so I was laughing! God forbid, I got my first warning from a older man which had told me Jo Koy had already pointed me out and I needed to basically stop laughing. I was in shock! There was an older man sitting next to our table who was also warned for laughing he was also upset. Jo Koy finally came out, and by this time I was too upset to laugh or afraid to since I was already told to stop laughing. I asked for the manager because I felt uncomfortable because I could not even laugh now without the fear of getting kicked out. The same older man came and waived me to him with his finger. And instead of treating his customer with respect, he kicked me out! I will never be attending this venue again.
