Acme Comedy Club

We came here for a comedy show and had an absolute blast. It's a quaint little spot for a comedy show. We grabbed drinks at the bar ahead of time but they also serve drinks during the show. We all said that our cheeks were so sore from so much smiling & laughter - which is a WONDERFUL problem to have. We definitely plan to come back for more shows in the future. Would highly recommended coming here to see a show

I love the comedy club- they have a really good open mic night on Tuesdays that is free to give the comics an opportunity to try new material. Sign up for the birthday club and you get to choose a free show on the month of your birthday.They have a large parking lot across the street- allow extra time as you have to pay at a machine and it is slow.The reason why this place doesn't get a higher score is that the food is not good. I now only go to the shows and skip dinners beforehand.

I'm not sure what to expect as I've never been to a comedy show before but online there wasn't much guidelines on the website besides when to arrive to pick up the tickets. I did that and we had a drink at the main restaurant area, took a long time the server was very busy. Not his fault but we had to also wave him down to pay out so we could get seated. Irritating. Just bring the bill right away we just ordered drinks. The server inside was very nice and upon learning that it was my birthday did accommodate us with a free birthday shot, I requested a lemon drop. She helped us get another round when needed and also brought me a water when I asked. The seating was AWFUL unfortunately this is where things really went wrong. Apparently, they were understaffed, because we were waiting for an usher for about a minute and none came. My friends and I along with others waiting just walked in and we were confused by the seating. Went back out to view the ushers helping two drunk idiots who flailed their arms onto my friend earlier so I was like um hi we need help and they were like no I'm busy and I said "no you are going to help us first we were here first" after being told I did the wrong thing when THEY are understaffed (according to themselves) why wouldn't they have one usher stand at the podium and one usher people in. The chairs were pushed together and tables cramped with white mens arms (mandacity) 2 inches from pushing our drinks off the table. When my friend asked the man to be conscious of our drinks all he said was "do you want me to move my arm?" IDK GENIUS. YOU TELL ME. The ushers also told us to be quiet like this emoji and yet when we called them over to ask what we did wrong (engaging with the comedian when prompted) they ran away from my friend. Ushers were absolutely horse sh*t. Didn't even ask about seating preferences I have an unruly bladder and I would have rather sat somewhere easy to exit. Would literally never come back here the only good part was the comedy and the blonde waitress with big earrings big smile who helped us when we were in our seats. The tickets were free for my birthday but we spent about $100 on drinks including tips $14 carafes x 4, beers x 2, free lemon drops but we tipped $10 and $20 on the comedian's vinyl. Take with that information what you will. Parking for this location is also troublesome if you can't get a street spot. $10 evening rate for the lot across the street.

Sticks at Acme Comedy Club was such a great restaurant with delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. I had the shrimp linguine and white wine which was so delicious! Our server Neil was super awesome and accommodating and made our experience amazing by giving great recommendations! After dinner the comedy club was so great as the comedians and the entire family were laughing (the headliner was Tommy Ryman) 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!

My friend and I recently went to a comedy show and decided to have dinner in their dining area before the show. When we arrived at dinner we were greeted by the host. I noticed that the decor feels the same as 20 years ago. Our waiter arrived at our table and he seemed like he was knew and didn't know the menu very well. We ordered a bottle of wine, dinner and added salads to our meals. When the wine arrived he didn't open it or pour the first glass. I feel like that is a normal practice when you buy a bottle of wine but I could be wrong. Our dinner arrived but our salads didn't. They should have arrived before dinner but the waiter must have forgotten. The dinner was good and overall tasted good. Once we were done with dinner, we were seated in the front row for the comedy show. We had a blast and the comedians were hilarious. The waitress came to check on us many times to see if we wanted more drinks. I will come back for a show but I might try out another dinner location in the area next time.

First time back to ACME since 2019. Everything is still the same. As in...exactly the same. :)Our dinner was wonderful and our server was great. Our seats were perfect and the featured comedian tonight was absolutely hilarious. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Parking right across the street was cheap. Such a fun night, thank you!

Had such a fun time seeing comedian Sahib Singh! Haven't been here in prob over 12 years and it was so fun and intimate I can't wait to come back. It definitely could use some refurbishment and some of the seats etc look a bit old and worn but overall a great time was had. Really good value for money and all 3 comedians(openers) were really funny,audience was great nobody talked or played on their phones during the show. Staff were quirky but nice. They have a decent bar selection and wine was cheaper than most places,only had cheese curds for a quick bite before so can't comment on the food. Parking across the street in a lot ,good price for downtown Friday night

Great food, tasty drinks, super friendly staff and awesome service in such a cool space! Couldn't think of a better place to enjoy live comedy

Saw River Butcher perform here a couple nights ago and had a great time with a group of good friends. This isn't a review of River though, but of the club itself. As you'd expect, YMMV quite a lot on how entertained you'll be by who is performing and how well it fits your taste.The seats were comfortable enough for watching a show for a couple hours, and the venue is fairly spacious, but still feels cozy. The location in North Loop is pretty easy to get to and there's a good amount of parking in the area. As you walk in it's a large, expansive area broken into a bar, the Sticks restaurant, the box office, and then the doors leading to the showroom. There's some smooth jazz playing, and it just feels like the kind of place where you could sip a cocktail and listen to smooth jazz.I'm going to review the Sticks restaurant separately. We did the Dinner and Show, which basically is $15 more than the cost of a ticket alone, and I enjoyed the show part a good bit more. If I had to do it over again I'd save the $15 extra for the "dinner" and do something else for food, because with the way Sticks does pricing, you aren't going to get an actual dinner out of the deal without paying a good bit more.

I went to Acme for the first time yesterday and I now know I definitely need to make multiple trips back. The ticket booth workers were very friendly, the ushers were also quick and friendly. We ordered drinks at the bar and got them really quickly but they also come around during the show asking if you would like more drinks.I definitely thought Acme was going to be a bigger place but I loved how it felt small and intimate. I really enjoyed everything about Acme and another plus was very affordable for a 2 hour show!
