Amazing talent friendly professional staff. Theres a mandatory 2 drink minimum even if you dont drink alcohol $12 for 2 cups of juice. No waitresses of color and lack of available parking you risk being towed if you park on lot next door. Cash only!!! Aside from that, the comics always come with the funny

Riddles was a decent spot but it was definitely limited on seating. The way the tables were set up still allowed for the stage to be viewed without too much struggle. I went for a comedy show and it was good but the 2 drink minimum was a bit much after charging for the door and the drinks were watered down. Stick with beer if youre looking for something true to its origins. Staff was a little pushy but I guess this was due to time constraints. Typical of the club atmosphere. I would go back to see another show though. The lighting could use some work as well. Bathroom was tolerable at best but that was to be expected.

We had a group of 15 that went to dinner at Kraplis steak house the to the show. They offer a great dinner show package for only $45.00, plus tax and tip, 2 free drinks at the show. A real deal!! Diner was outstanding! The comedy show was in honor of Bernie Mac. Great show! 6 comics and each different and all very good. The wait staff was great and drinks were good. Parking was tight and the area next to club is not parking for the club. ( they will tow you) but there is areas to park next door also. Tickets to the show were 15.00, with a two drink min. It was a two hour show and great variety of comics. A fun night by all and we will be back!

We attended Damon Williams birthday event. When I tell you it was funny, I mean it was HILARIOUS!!! The variety of comedians and their material was most enjoyable. The audience participated in the show making some moments even funnier. This was truly a COMEDY show.Super duper shout outs to Damon Williams, Jay Deep, and the comedian who joked about ugly kids having ugly snacks.

This is a great place to see up and coming comedians. They have a 2 drink minimum and it is cash only. If the parking lot is full go in and ask management where it is safe to park. DO NOT PARK IN THE LOT WEST OF THE VENUE! THEY WILL TOW YOU!

I really enjoyed the comedians that showcased that evening but they put the tables to close together which made it very uncomfortable. Also the drinks where watered down towards the end of the show. Hope this was helpful

We had a great time this last visit to riddles The comedians were beyond funny. The holster MC was just as funny as the others and was not surprised when I seen am I on YouTube. Would definitely go back I am giving them 5 stars for their comedy. I would rate them a little less if I were to factor in the price of the alcohol which could be a little bit more affordable. Definitely had to limit my intake because of the prices. But cant wait to return.

Although the comedy was nice, and the facility appeared to be clean, Riddles just didnt shake my groove. The tickets for the show were costly. The seating was sardine can, packed, tight. My advice to first time attendees... if you want to sit next to your friends and or your significant other, get there early for seating occupancy. Also, because Riddles is within a strip mall, vehicle parking was minimal. DO NOT PARK IN THE DOCTORS PARKING LOT NEXT DOOR. You will be ticketed and towed. Each patron had to purchase a minimum of 2 expensive drinks ( you would hope that one of your drinks would be discounted at half price due to the expensive entry fee.) Mixed drinks were $10.00 a piece, beer at $4.00 for 16.9 ounces of Millers light. Oh! By the way, no food is served or allowed, so dont go in there hungry; as I was. Oh Yeah! and on the way out after the show, fortunately every body was cool. I say this because as the crowd was dispersing from the 1st show, several times, we had to say excuse me please; to get pass the attendees waiting to get in for the second show...one way in...one way out. I wanted to patronize the comedians on the booking but I dont think Riddles will see me again.

Great venue.. saw my boy tk kirkland and it was mad real.. cheap drinks too!

Review №37

The comedians there were ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!! The price is very affordable for the quality of the comedians they get. Expect to spend at least $20-$30 on drinks (for a party of 2) depending on what drinks you purchase. They do offer fruit juice, pop, and bottled water for those of us who do not drink alcohol. The structure could use some new carpeting and more comfortable chairs, but other than that, my experience was very enjoyable.

The comics are hilarious. Damon Williams has always been one of my favorite comedians. Jay Deep is hilarious too. Kenny Howell was there yesterday, July 12. 2019. He has always been one of my favorite comedians. He was sooo funny. Thanks Damon for bringing good comedy to Chicago, and for a reasonable price.

Saturday night, Oct. 20 was our first time at Riddles comedy club. The experience was very annoying but the laughs were better. Tickets were $15 per person, cool no problem. Upon entering, there is a bar and the stage area is located behind two closed doors. There is a sign on the two closed doors, ‘2 drink minimum’, cool no problem. Before entering the doors, I ordered two drinks for me and my wife. We enter with our drinks and settled down for great laughs. Within 5 to 10, the waitress is telling us there is a two drink minimum; I informed her we are still drinking on the ones we bought at the bar. Her reply, “they don’t count”. Okay, slight problem!?!?! I’m still in a good mood, the host comedian is on fire. Move on lady we will buy more drinks later during the show. The waitress came back 10 minutes later, blocking the view, “we have a 2 drink minimum”. Okay, lady “we heard you loud and clear the first time”. She is really killing the vibe at this point. We eventually for filled our drink obligations. Of course, the drinks are overpriced for what you receive. Upon paying your tab, you are given tickets. The tickets are given to security when you exit.

Went here Saturday, June 22nd with my cousin for my birthday and man did we laugh…a lot! The night of 1,000 eagles! LOL. There were 3 comedians on stage along with the host/MC and they were all funny in their way. The acts seem to get funnier with each comedian and I like how this was setup. I’ll definitely be returning for more laughs!

Review №89

Really great comedy set. Everyone was super funny. However, I was disappointed with the $9.60 gratuity charge, which the word gratuity was scratched out on the receipt. I had to ask the waiter what I was paying for. He said usually the host will announce a 2 drink minimum and gratuity is included, but they didnt have the usual host tonight, so it wasnt mentioned. And how is the gratuity $9.60 off of a $32 check. Thats more than 20%. RIP off. You guys gotta do better. Dishonest and deceptive business practices are no good. Telling your customers they owe more at the end of the show. I wont return. You all are stealing from your customers by being deceitful.
