Ive been coming here for several years and as someone who travels for and attend comedy shows regularly, I highly recommend this establishment. They do have a 1 item minimum which isnt bad considering most comedy clubs require a two drink minimum.Even on busier or sold out shows, the staff are very attentive and do their best to make sure you get your food and drinks in a timely manner. The one rare time I did have an issue, the manager was super cool and rectified the situation right away.Whether youre there to see your favorite comedian or just passing by or want some other entertainment, be sure to stop at the House of Comedy!

Updated March 14, 2020We stopped in to see Paul Mecurio. He canceled, but Ruben Paul replaced him. He was hilarious, and our party of four really enjoyed ourselves. The staff did a great job of spreading people out for appropriate social distancing. Once again great drinks and friendly staff. We’ll be back!—————————————————I attended the Saturday night 7pm show with Big Jay Oakerson. He was great and his opening act was hilarious. My gut hurt from laughing so much!The place is really cool and bigger than I expected. Staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Good drinks and good food at reasonable prices. The bar area was nice while waiting for the doors to open. Seating for the show was good. I didn’t feel crowded and the show was sold out!Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back. I like the mall location because parking is easy.

Fun and well laid out venue for comedy. Lots of great acts. Have seen many people here and will keep coming back. Friendly service, reasonable prices. Good food.

Third time going here. Waitress ruined the experience. I explained from the start that the QR code and URL link wasnt working, so I asked for a menu. She slammed the QR menu in front of me and walked off. Waitress came back and asked what we wanted, again explaining the QR and link werent working, and asking what kind of liquors they had, she said oh sorry and walked off. Third time she comes back and says if we dont order something she is going to kick us out. You can begin to understand our agitation, not only are we trying to enjoy the current performer (with $36 tickets in advance) which was one of the better performers, but she has yet to offer any explanation as to what alcohols she has, other than a full bar. Stop using covid as an excuse to not do your job. My husband finally dealt with her, and she told him what Tequilas and Vodkas she had. Why were you obnoxious and why did it take you 4 times to tell us what liquors you have? He ordered for me. I have no tolerance for obnoxious and incompetent staff. She could have left there with a $10+ tip but instead she received $2. Theres absolutely no reason to be obnoxious or other lesser terms.

Good music and some funny comedians.They have a one drink minimum, so you’ll spend an additional $7+ once you’re inside. Food prices are $10+.They had some printer malfunction when we went, so the waiter never came back to our table to collect our drawing entries or run our card. We just left cash. Otherwise it was an enjoyable experience.

Brought my boyfriend from Madison last night and can I say it was an amazing time to where we were in tears from laughing!! The overall experience was top notch. The comedians were great, our waiter was on top of the drinks, they had great covid protocols in place, social distancing seating, menu was an issue if your phone is being difficult lol. I am glad his first experience was here! Now any further comedy shows he will attend will be held to high standards. I recommend only coming here!

Went to see Godfrey with my fiance. It was great we loved the comedians that performed. The steak was slightly burned when my fiance ordered it medium. We waited 40 minutes for a new steak but it was still overcooked and the potatoes were cold the second time. Wed come back but probably wouldnt order the food again.

I had a nice time. Food was great. Better than I thought it would be !

Theyve been sending out free tickets for several weeks so myself and a couple friends have been going regularly and we usually end up getting food and drinks and its a good time.This last time what bothered me was that I stuck to soda which are customarily free refills so I would expect the wait staff to mention that theyre not here when offering another so as not to cause confusion.I was more bothered that two of my refills had been done when the glass was still 30% full which is typical in a free refill situation. I wasnt expecting such a high bill at the end of the night. Managements offer, not that I was really expecting much, was four free tickets to a show even though theyve been sending out free tickets for weeks already.

This was a fantastic time! The wait staff was wonderful and attentive and the comedy was a gas. Definitely something I would recommend to all my friends. You guys/gals are all wonderful and I will definitely be back for some more gut wrenching humor!! Until I see y’all next time.

My wife & I went this past Wednesday night & was not disappointed. The club wasnt packed considering it was mid work week and we still got a full show of entertainment. All 3 comics were great and worked with the crowd. It was nice to see the comics still give us every bit worth of what we paid for and more based on the crowd size. My wife who just started dipping her feet into watching stand-up said right after the show that she cant wait to get back. The ONLY downfall was that there werent more people to appreciate what we saw tonight. That was some of the best stand-up Ive seen & it made for a grade A date night. I personally prefer small crowds because they seem more personal. The vibe was still hype and I can imagine a weekend show is insanely fun and energetic. Cant wait to go back!

Great staff. Friendly, kind, and attentive. Clean and health guidelines inforced. Great night.

Because tj miller was hilarious and put on a great performance. Drink prices are pretty ridiculous but I forgive it since I suspect that theyve had a hard time paying bills.

I had a wonderful experience! It was my first time coming to House of Comedy, and I had no idea what to expect. Got a beer inside and then a happy hour rum and coke, and I was decently surprised at how good the rum and coke was. They book wonderful comedians, and I was lucky to meet the headliner! They have a drink or food minimum, but let me be clear: most comedy clubs have minimums! Support your local comedy club and just enjoy your time!

I attended the 7pm New Years Eve show. The host was hilarious and both of the acts were hilarious. It was my first time ever in a comedy club period, and the experience was the best all around. The food was great!! My group enjoyed the State Fair platter. My husband and I had the loaded fries with the Chicken Strips. Not only was it very filling, it was all sooooo good and cooked perfectly. So thank you to the wonderful staff, it was our waitresses first night on the job and she was phenomenal!!!! She was polite a glasses never went empty and her service was superb. Couldnt have asked for a better experience or a better way to spend New Years Eve with the love of my life and good friends. I would Highly recommend The House of Comedy to anyone looking for a good laugh, great food or a great place to venture with family and friends. Thank you to the House of Comedy and staff. Happy New Year to all

Was in last night for the Big Jay show. It was my first time coming to the House of Comedy. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The seating arrangements werent overly crowded. I felt comfortable and well taken care of. It was a blast! We will definitely be coming back soon!!

I always wanted to go to the house of Comedy. I finally got to go and you guys did not disappoint. The staff was attentive. I saw people being served quickly and efficiently. I order the chicken Caeser wrap. It was the best I had anywhere and reasonably priced. Oh yeah they happen to have very funny Comedians. It is well worth your time people. A must see experience.

Changed from 1 star to 3.5, the manager covered our tab and gave us free tickets. He said he would talk with the staff and let them know a few things. Steve Lunden was very professional and respectful.Our server flat out lied to us, she said we couldnt leave our seats, even though we were here an hour early! She sat a group of 6 next to us and they didnt like their seats and they just moved and she was like, okay fine. When we asked to move since they did, she told us NOPE. We will never be coming back to this place. And a heads up to people coming here for the first time, dont get seated first, they sit you right next to the stage, all the seats are literally on top of each other. Thankfully the people sitting on my lap (joke) are nice. A better place to go would be ACME comedy club. The seating is better. The drinks are WAY better and cheaper, and the servers are nice and dont lie

We saw Doug Stanhope here. It was a great show. We ate before heading in for the show at Game Works, so no review for food here. Drinks are proceed high, but we knew that going in. Staff was all friendly. We went to the bar over using the waitress, that was faster. Would see more shows here for sure.

Waiting for the show to start and enjoying some cold drinks. The comedian slated to perform tonight cancelled, so we are in for a surprise.

I went with a group of friends to Saturday nights 9pm show to see BIG JAY!!! The place was sold out and the experience was awesome considering how busy it was! Our server, Chelsea, was absolutely amazing! One thing id like to note... while we were in line, there was a group of women in pink t-shirts who were drunk. One of them was literally screaming at a gentleman who was scanning tickets. He mustve been a manager because he wasnt wearing black. But he kept his cool and kept doing his job without being bothered by her and several people agreed with me when I mentioned it. Kudos to you, sir! We will definitely be back. Awesome job Rick!!! This place is amazing!

Great show! All three comedians were very funny!

My girlfriend and I, we had a lovely evening. The show was amazing

House of Comedy is awesome! My brother and I have been here twice so far, and were going to make it a tradition! The professional comedians were obviously hilarious, but we werent expecting the hosts and local comedians to be so good as well. The food and drinks are delicious. 5

Awesome staff and well made drinks

Good place to go for some great laughs. Unfortunately, their sound system was malfunctioning this weekend and we had a hard time hearing the comedians. However, we were given tickets to attend another show by a concerned staff. Well definitely be returning.

Great comics, great atmosphere, perfect location. Food is okay, drinks are good. If you want different food there are more options than you can count at Mall of America, so food isnt a concern. Tickets are always well priced according to the act. Ive been there several times and will continue going there for a long time!

Atmosphere was nice. Stage was small. Seats were somewhat crowded. The comedian we saw was good. The most upsetting part about this experience, deserving of the 2 star rating was being told we HAD to buy drinks once we were seated.

We purchased the dinner with the show. The website said we could choose from chicken, steak, meatballs or salmon and shrimp. When we got there we were seated a distance from the stage. The food served was not the food listed in the website but a buffet of mediocre turkey, beef, mixed veggies, potatoes and lettuce. I don’t understand how they can falsely advertise the dinner to be something else. People who didn’t buy the dinner got to sit closer to the stage so we complained to management and then got reseated closer to the stage. The show was great but not the food. I would not recommend purchasing the dinner with the show package but eat somewhere else prior to the show. The food served was not worth the extra price.

Saw Charlie Berens and it was hilarious. The staff were all very professional and things moved relatively quickly. The waiter was attentive without disrupting the show even though our seats were right up front. I would definitely recommend this place.

Nice staff. Good lineups. Great space!

Aiden and Katie were very funny tonight. My food had order errors but, I wanted to eat before the comedians so I wouldnt choke.

It was my first time I really enjoyed the show and the food n drinks were definitely expensive which is to be expected cuz guess what your in the MO@!!! Cant wait to go back again and again

Oh my God best time ever this place rocked and it was just fantastic we loved it had a great time oh my God would so do it again cant wait till the next time to get there Joy a fun pass full night of comedy fun.

I went here yesterday evening to see Jack Jr for date night. We couldnt have been more impressed with our experience! The wait staff was very professional, and we laughed profusely. We will definitely be coming back! The drinks and food were superb as well. Id recommend their cheese curds! They had a great liquor selection and menu. I cant wait to come back!

Prices of drinks are a bit outrageous and the food menu is very bar food with no variety. The comedy show was good, and they do give you free ticketsbfor return visits for spending money on food and drink in the show. I would just plan on eating before hand next time. Otherwise good experience.

Not even worth one star. Not again. Find a better way to spend your money. A few min late and we were told we couldnt get in but we could get in the next show. We patiently waited and then we were told, by the same person, we could not get in the second one either. No offer of refund or anything. They were completely rude and not at all willing to work anything out with us. Too bad, we were excited to see Big Jay. What a waste! Big Jay, find a new place to do your comedy.

I accidentally bought tickets for the wrong night(Thurs instead of Fri)! The staff was quick to help me out by letting me exchange my tickets. They were extremely friendly to my 16yr old daughter who was definitely the youngest person in the room. They joked around with her and made her feel extra welcome. Our server Steven was also pretty entertaining and quick witted. Even though we didnt eat, the food that people were eating around us looked and smelled amazing!

We had a great spot for the show, our waitress was quick and attentive. The only suggestion would be to make the Will Call line more noticeable. We printed our tickets and when we went to the show, we stood in line for a minute and then realized that we didnt have to.

It was fun. Nice place to chill out. Food is not at all costly and comedians have good humor . Recommended for food drink and laugh

Went to see Ari Shaffir, great atmosphere, sound was terrific, tables are close but didn’t deter the experience. Awesome place to see a show! Going back again in a few weeks.

Such a great place to enjoy comedy! Ive been here several times and absolutely love it every time! Will definitely continue to come back!

Better than advertised. Great close viewing, hard working service staff...everyone upbeat. Had a great time

Had an awesome time for the Ari Shaffir show. Our server Steve was amazing. Food was good, prices were reasonable. Ill most likely be back.

Great show!!! Comedians were awesome. Wait staff was stunning and nice. My drinks never ran out...

My boyfriend and I went to the show last night and enjoyed every minute. Lots of laughter and we can’t wait to go back.

First time at the house of comedy in the Mall of America. Excellent venue the staff was fantastic food and drinks were also very good. Make sure you plan when you go to the Mall of America to be sure that you find a great comedian thats coming in town. Step one my kids attended this venue for a famous YouTuber and really enjoyed the whole experience.

Laid back club with great seating for comedy. Service was top notch. Speedy and correct on our orders each and every time. Located on the top level of the mall making it easily accessible from the parking lot. You can park walk right in and be seated all in under 2 minutes. Minneapolis Minnesota has a wealth of comedy and this is a wonderful gem.

Great laughs I enjoyed watching all three comedians they had on today. Jr Cruz was great at including at interacting with the audience.

A nice spot for comedy shows. However drink prices are a bit on the high side. I ended up paying $9.04 for a single can of White Claw at the bar. During the beginning of the show, I tried to order a pop but it never came. It seems like they could not care less about you if you dont order an alcoholic drink. Again, nice venue, but poor service from my experience there

Comedians were awesome! We had a good time.h

Good food. Great drinks. Lots of laughs. Servers were amazing

6 chicken pieces for $12 and it was very very over cooked, beautiful staff though

Saw some excellent stand up! Chris Distefano was hilarious! Very nice atmosphere and great service. We will definitely be going back.

We were here for a work event on local comedy night and we had a ball!Many different local comedians with various backgrounds and experience levels.Amazing drink specials, and it was an overall blast! Would do it again!

Kicked us out because my gf was too drunk. She was quite and calm but was slouching her head . This was 10 minutes into the act at 9:50 pm on a Saturday night for josh Wolf. I ordered us waters ( which are not free because they are bottled ) . They asked us to leave and offered us tickets for a further show in future . Kind of annoying since I bought tickets for this show for 4 people and the only drunk friend in our group was just face down into a table not making any noise or commotion.

Will call woman had no clue on how to do her job.

Fun. Great atmosphere. Food was unexpectedly good. Servers were attentive. Comedy show was superb. Highly recommended.

Fiance and I happened to be walking passed yesterday and decided catching a show might be a good way to spend our evening. We were not disappointed! The comedians were hilarious, the staff was courteous, venue was clean. Our only complaint was that it took a while to get beverages and we had to pay $4 for me to have WATER. Will definitely be back the next time we make it to the area.

We had the best time tonight! We laughed so much Im not sure when my cheeks are going to stop hurting. Great staff, very inviting and friendly. Samuel was on fire tonight.!!

The food is very good, but expect to pay twice the price of anywhere else. The comics are a bit hit and miss. About 20% are bad. About 60% are just Ok, but you will laugh and leave happy. About 20% are really good. Most likely you will leave happy and want to come back again soon. My first time was to see Asinio Hall and I have been back eight times.

The food and beverage menu was pricey, but a variety of food options available. Fine on quality. Ordered another beverage mid-performance and when the server came back to get a last call order I could only then inform her it never came.The exterior bar and doors opened right when the website said they would. Might want to consider opening the exterior bar at the time the box office opens, could draw more attention to people walking by and attract more walk-ins.The house packs you in front-and-center and fans out from there to make sure everyone gets as close to the stage as possible. Which makes sense from a performers perspective to not feel like they are preaching in church. If you dont like staring up the emcee/performers noses and dont enjoy being picked on, arrive a little closer to show time or move yourself away from the stage.Went on a Sunday, which I highly advise to NOT attend a Sunday show... the crowd was small, which everyone on the mic commented on. It was the end of a run of shows, so each performer was either bored or burnt out. The headliner(s) seemed uninterested and even mentioned they were paid regardless so they were happy to simply fill time. My wife and I were excited to see Leonard Ouzts from what we had seen of his past performances, but it was more of him and his entourage bantering instead of a comedy set. Hugely disappointed, and most of the other people in the crowd appeared to agree it was a bizarre show. What an overall unique experience... The show itself brings the rating down.

Club was expansive but had us all sit in the same very small area on top of each other. Electronic check in didnt work so well at the front office. Drinks were crazy expensive at $13 a piece (Surly beer was $6 a can)I cannot blame the club for the comics, but they were pretty underwhelming and we were disappointed in the acts.

My wife and I went to our first comedy show here and the place was fantastic, the warm up comedians were hilarious and the headliner was even funnier.The waiters were polite and took the time to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of.Definitely will be coming back.

Hours said happy hour opened at 5 and the place opened at 2, only the box office was open and they said they actually wouldn’t be ready until 5:45. Who does that? Wanted to get in early for good seats but they had the place shut down.

It was my company holiday party that we decided to have there. The service was horrible when it came to dinner service. The server was supposed to come and get our orders at 6:30, took her an hour later. Also, the comedians was not that great. It was getting so late that we end up canceling our food n left. Poor customer service. This will be my first and last time going there. Will not be recommending this place to anyone. Also, our president didnt even get his food and he left too.

I like the comedians they bring in, the price is decent since the space is small but either way I have never not enjoyed myself. The food is good and the staff is great.

Great acts. Got better and better as the show went on. Highly reccomend. Will be going again!

Great cc it’s great to go to on birthdays. Some really good comedians have been here. Highly recommend this club.

Food was pretty good, service ok, comedy is hit or miss, depending on the comedian and your sense of humor

Came here to see my friend perform. Had a blast!! Will be going back for sure.

Always a great show. Every seat has a good view. Decent prices on tickets and food (drinks are a bit spendy). Service is good.

First time there on 10/2/19 and the only thing good about this place were two of the four comedians. The first guy on stage was good, the second guy was absolutely horrible, I think they found him on the street corner an hour before the show. The third guy was okay. The head liner was out standing and would pay to see him again as long as it’s not there. Drinks were overpriced and the service was terrible. The server took our order before the show and then never came back around until 30 minutes before then end of the show. To top off the night. My wife went to the bathroom before we left and as I was waiting for her, I was told by an extremely rude female worker that I needed to leave the room now. I told her that I was waiting for my wife, her response back was “I don’t care you need to leave now”. I told her I would leave as soon as my wife comes out of the bathroom and that’s when the employee got loud and started making a scene and saying she will call mall security. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE. Go to Acme Comedy Club. They know how to run a club. I have always had a great experience at Acme.

I love this place! I come here all the time with friends! It’s also a great date night! Always something different and always a good time! Servers are great too! Comedians are funny, management is great! Never have had a bad experience!

They have some good comedians that come out and do great live comedy however, the food and drink is overpriced. Thats to be expected I guess. However they will charge you for water which is ridiculous.

I wanted to say how great the staff was when we went and seen TJ Miller. Its always a great time here, staff is fantastic and the food is always good to. Keep up the great work and will see you next time.

This place is amazing! Ever time I have been there whether a date, small group or large group thru have been accommodating and professional. Ive also never seen a bad comic. They are all hilarious. The bartenders are awesome too. Always good pours, and good conversation and classy attitude and demeanor. Reggie always takes care of us. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great time and laugh!

Great Show on Wednesday 9/11 the comedians were funny and relatable! Server did well bringing drinks and food! A must visit spot if you want a good laugh.

The comics/talent were great! Absolutely did not like the seating arrangement in this place. You sit sideways to the table. Very hard to see the stage when everyone is sitting in a straight line. I saw more of the head in front of me. Dumb set up. Then, general manager disrupted the whole show to make sure a table that was too loud to his liking knew he was the general manager and he would personally escort them all out of the comedy club if they kept it up. Totally uncalled for to raise his voice and yell at that table in the middle of a show. There are other ways to handle that situation, very unprofessional!! Overall, a so-so experience. Id rather spend money elsewhere in the countrys largest mall.

It doesn’t look like there’s a bad seat in the house. This was our first time here. I wish I had checked it out before arriving. We ate in the mall and could have arrived a little earlier and got food on site. I saw a couple huge burgers go by that looked awesome. And now a giant cone of fries and sliders. Well, now I have something to look forward to. Staff has been friendly. With a sold out show, I hope they can keep the beer flowing!

I’M glad that my wife and I came to The House of Comedy! The staff is great!JUST when I didn’t think it could get any better they brought our drink and food in a timely manner!DOING this well as an establishment will guarantee my future patronage!THIS place is awesome!!!FOR a reasonable price you get some great food!FREE chances at winning tickets is awesome too!!!TICKETS were very reasonable considering the amount of entertainment you get for the price!

Such a great time was had by our little group! Great seating, AMAZING staff (Paul the Muscle and Jake the Bartender where especially fantastic), LOVED Celeste Barber - everything came together to make a wonderfully memorable evening for my friends and me.

Awesome staff, very nice waitresses, bartenders awesome as well. I been twice, once to see Gary Owen and Andrew Rivers comics were funny as hell!!! I had VIP both times and I always have minimum of 10-14 people each time I come. I really enjoy it there.

I’ve been here twice. They have reasonable ticket prices and great standup comedians. Food and drinks are a bit pricey, but that’s expected. Not a huge fan of the seating layout, it get sort of awkward if you’re facing away from the stage and you have to turn your seat all the around (they have table seating). Service could be improved a bit, seems like it takes 20 min to get a can of beer, plus I’ve had waitresses forget my order. But overall the servers do a good job of getting around and making sure everyone has multiple chances to order. Definitely recommend

A lot of fun, fair prices, pretty good food and drinks. Great local comics and frequent big-name talent. Strongly recommend it. Great times had by all.

Weve been to the House of Comedy several times and have had a great time! Not only were the headliners funny, the warm up comedians were funny too! We have had appetizers there which were good but weve never had a meal. If its a popular comedian, be sure to get there early and get in line as seats are first come ... but its a small enough venue that any seat would be fine. :D

A million laughs a minute! I love this place, the talent is incredible!

Headliner was good but the host and first comic was horrible. We were actually uncomfortable sitting there because it was awkward that nobody was laughing. Worst of all was that I ordered tickets online ahead of time and they also charged my credit card the night of the show. I have called 3 times and talked to a manager who has promised to remove the charge but it has not been done.

The act was awesome and there wasnt a bad seat in the place.

Good food options. Friendly staff and the show was excellent.

Went out on a blind date had a great time

Good environment, comics were pretty funny. The drinks were outrageous. 2 cokes and a Sprite was $13.75! For real!? Yep....Pitty the true drinkers. Overall a good time to at least go.

First time here and wasnt too bad; would be open to checking it out or giving it another chance. The space and viewpoints are good but the acoustics were really troubling. It was hard to hear or understand the comedians at times and you couldnt remotely understand the announcements. It was a packed house but was disappointing that we couldnt order a second drink.

Always a fun time! I love the intimate setting.

Weve been here a few times, its nice and easy to get to, parking is easy being at MOA. Food isnt great, seating not super comfortable they really cram you in, but once the show starts you dont really notice. Well be back Im sure.

Amazing comics. Food is good! Staff is friendly. Managers are awesome!

Loved that they offered food. Place was warm, pretty and inviting.

Great venue, great staff very fun show last night

So much funny! I have been a few times, always a great experience.

Nice place. But really depends on the talent the night you go.
