Tickle Me Comedy Club

I went to the Tickle Me Comedy Club Tuesday evening. The club is on the third floor of the Eclipse Theater complex in downtown Las Vegas at the corner of 3rd and Gass. There is covered parking at the theatres. The show starts at 8 or a bit later as was the case Tuesday and there are a number of comics--6 including the host Evan Green on the night I was there. The club is still in a sot opening phase even though their Facebook page says they opened April 1st.Before going to the 3rd floor, I stopped at the second to check in and I got a soda at the large bar the Eclipse complex has. There is a very large lounge area on the second floor and this is where the film screens are if you're seeing a movie. You are allowed to take food and drink to the 3rd floor to the comedy club. The club is in one corner of a large space equivalent in size to the second floor that could be used for a dance, a private party, or in this case, a corner that's set aside for the Tickle Me Comedy Club. There weren't many people there when I took my seat and one of the comics asked people to move forward to fill in near the stage. More people came later and they seemed to hold off starting until there were no more arriving. This proved to be a mixed bag. Spot lights for the comics in the back made a shadow on the stage of part of my back and head. The problem that was worse than this was they have spotlights directed from behind the comic to the audience. My closer seat put me right into a direct line with one of the spots and it was irritating. I should have moved. That's my fault, but is it really needed?The comics were a mixed bag. With having 6, their sets are shorter and if you're not amused by a particular comic, they'll soon be off anyway. During the show, one of the comics abruptly ended his time and just said thanks and left the stage. It was somewhat uncomfortable. I don't know if it was because the laughter just wasn't there for him.Overall, the comics were not that funny to me. Two of them mentioned Yelp, one in passing, but one pushed it more. He directed his gaze to someone behind me and said, "You didn't think that was funny? I suppose you put it on Yelp that Carl isn't funny. You can say Carl isn't funny." The audience member didn't say anything but I'll say it for him, "Carl, you're not funny!!" The comics never suspected I'd be the person in the crowd who Yelps.I'd avoid Tickle Me. I'm not ticklish nor was I tickled!

Located in the Firelight Barn Dinner Theater in Henderson, NV not to far from Water Front Street (entrance is on right side of building). Steve was a funny and great host for a funny lineup of comedians (Lisa, Isaac and Rick). The venue was nice offering snacks, BBQ, and drinks at a reasonable cost. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. if you want a nice night out to have a good laught away from downtown and the strip at a reasonable price definitely check this Comedy Show out. Will return.

1/8/20After my first experience last year the manager or owner reached out and asked for another opportunity to attend a show. I ended up getting VIP tickets to attend again and my daughter had her best friends in town from Atlanta, it was one of the girls' 21st birthday so I thought, PERFECT!, I will get tickets for her birthday it would be great to see a comedy show! Well...apparently there was an event on the 3rd floor as we were told so the comedy show was held in one of the theaters on floor 2. The GM was very apologetic and said there were not any seats left however, they were working on bringing some seats in to accommodate everybody. Now, I completely understand that I happened to get free seats because of my first experience however, this was definitely NOT a VIP experience nor a VIP seat but whatever, free is free so I'm not going to complain. Waiting for the fold up chairs to be brought in there was a man who was also waiting and holy crap was he pissed the eff off. He said he had paid extra and was not going to sit in the fold up chairs and was being super rude and loud and was not only making me uncomfortable but the girls I was with uncomfortable and I know the other patrons and staff uncomfortable. Totally understandable because again, if I had paId for VIP seats and had to sit in a fold up chair while everybody else got to sit in reclining leather seats I'd be super upset as well. Anyhow...the host comes out....this man starts to BOO!! LOUDLY!! It gets kinda worse, the host/comedian says there will not be any heckling tolerated anD he will be asked to leave. He settled down and shortly after here comes a freakin COUCH for he and his wife and his friend to sit on. Yes we could see but the people in the recliners to the right of us could not. I could hear the husband and wife talking saying they were unable to see. So the first comic...i missed....this whole situation was quite distracting The rest of the show was good. The closing comic was great. We each got a drink out of it. I did hear the host say there was food and drinks able to be ordered and I did see waitresses walking by but not one stopped to ask us what we wanted to eat or drink so 2 of us got up and got our own drinks with others from the theatre and missed part of the show. I do see several other reviewers had great experiences here so I'm not going to deter anybody from coming. I guess I've just had bad luck the 2 times I've been here. If I ever come again, I will have to come alone because bringing people here just hasnt been imprEssive thus far.

The staff was friendly but the venue itself wasn't at all what we expected and nothing like the comedy cellar at the Rio. We were WAY OVER DRESSED and didn't feel comfortable even watching the show so we left

Went here a couple weeks ago with family that lives in Vegas. Cool venue downtown Las Vegas with a movie theater inside as well. Get a drink upstairs in the bar before the show and get prepped. We were seated front row which turned out to be pretty fun... Comedians were really funny, or was it the drinks? Dunno but it was cool. Several blocks from Fremont St but I wouldn't walk it, area can be a bit sketchy. Would definitely go back

Its hilarious, i was dying.. best show in town..def. recommend.At the beginning i was skeptical, but damn..

Great night out for locals! Easy access, off the strip & away from downtown. Most importantly, funny, funny, FUNNY stuff! Great venue, drinks and food!! Love it!!

Went there for their soft opening weekend and my goodness! The caliber of entertainment booked was of utmost professionalism! Brian and Jay did wonderfully that evening! Their guest spot was this Filipino or Hawaiian guy and he was pretty crazy too. I had a blast! The emcee was fantastic as he kept the energy going.

Hilarious comedians and great energy to the room, the service and host was also fantastic, great club would recommend to anyone, invite your friends and family for a great time!

Wednesday before thanksgiving. The ad they showed weren't the people we saw. The food was really good, the beers took a long time to show up. The comics weren't funny not just me, the people there hardly laughed. Hopefully they will get better comics. Hell I am funnier. $25 cover with fees isn't bad.
