The comedy attic was the first comedy club Ive ever been to, and I was pleasantly surprised! The open mic night was a great time. I didnt have any food from there, but their strawberry margaritas are delicious! They do have a two purchase minimum for food/drink on top of the $5 dollar cover charge, but I didnt have an issue with that as I was planning on buying more than one drink anyway.I was also really happy with how their COVID restrictions were placed, I felt very safe.Im already planning on returning in future for a fun night out.

Big names. Cozy venue. Reasonably priced. Fantastic experience.

I missed going to The Comedy Attic so much. We recently watched the Gwen Sunkel & Kelly Collette shows with their “live in your living room” option. It was fantastic! Nothing will replace going there and seeing a show in person, but this was darn close. So fun!

Great club, great staff. One of the best comedy clubs in the country. GO SEE SHOWS HERE! Intimate atmosphere to see some of the greatest comics working.

Thank god this place reopened it is the best thing about this already wonderful town. Big names come through all the time, but the local comedy scene is top notch too. Servers remember my drink order each time. Food is decent but that’s not why you come. Best thing on the menu is the grilled cheese with bacon.

MC Bob was Hilarious! Wish he wouldve been on longer. Matt Braunger Awesome! A great kickoff to SigEps Moms Weekend!

This place gets amazing acts, with brilliant local comics as well. Great staff, great management, great environment. Im so glad our town has such an amazing club!

Absolutely LOVE this place! I’m so glad that they make the patrons wear masks, because they CARE about their employees and other customers! I hate that some Karen decided her lipstick being seen was more important than wearing a mask to protect public health during a worldwide pandemic, and felt the need to leave a bad review for such an incredible place, but please know that this establishment is wonderful and so are the folks who work there!

Cool place for comedians. Good food.

We bought tickets to Moshe Kasher and Mike Birbiglia before the pandemic hit. After the lockdown the shows were rescheduled for months later and we had hoped in that time this whole thing would pass. As time went on it became clear that it was not passing and so being two high-risk individuals we sent an e-mail to [email protected] asking if we would be able to receive a refund for our tickets to open the seats for other individuals to fill. After a substantial amount of time passed without a response I resent the e-mail to no avail. Not only do we feel robbed as fans of comedy, I think its a lack of respect for the comedians as well to deny them the opportunity for a full house. It sounds, based on other reviews, like this is a trend for the owner to dodge responsibility when the outcome isnt immediately in their favor. I understand that theyre probably taking a serious hit right now with the pandemic, but so are we and now weve been forced to make a donation to a comedy club that would just as soon see our laughter turned to disappointment.

Just moved here for IU and saw a great show dave waithe was so funny and the openers were too

I had a wonderful time here the comedians were great and the service was fast and helpful.

Been going for years. Always a great time. A Bloomington treasure.

Amazing place drinks were some of the best Ive ever had and I will definitely be coming back to laugh!!

Went to my very first comedy show with some friends here awhile back and I was pleasantly surprised. Ive never really been much into the comedy scene but it ended up being a very fun night. Would do again if the right comedian was doing a show.

We recently moved to Indiana from Seattle. We had very poor experiences at the comedy clubs in Washington. Hacky comedians, overpriced drinks, shows started late, etc. Most of all the audiences were out of control.I listen to a ton of podcasts and The Comedy Attic constantly is brought up as an elite comedy venue. The prices for food and drinks is about half what it is at most comedy clubs too.My husband got a new job that sent us closer to his family in central Indiana and all we could talk about was making the 2 hour drive to a Bloomington to see The Comedy Attic for ourselves. This was late February and we saw Matt Braunger. This was (at that point) the best comedy experience I had ever had. Everything is the way comedians want it to be. I was struck by how much the emphasis is on the audience enjoying the show and not catering to the groups who cause problems. The staff is attentive, friendly and just wants the show to run smoothly. We were able to meet Matt and he was great too!We ended up making the four hour round trip drive every weekend until the virus hit. Every show was so fun. Jackie Kashian was the highlight. Just incredible!It was horrible to be without comedy for all those months. We help take care of his mother who is very ill and we take covid very seriously. We watched a few shows online after the club reopened and it was great! Last weekend, we decided to go back in person. We were nervous, but had read all the safeguards the club was utilizing. So we went.All I can say is they are going way above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Tables were distanced, everyone was wearing masks. And everyone was cool about it. They’ve really built a great rapport with the comedians and the audiences. I’m very happy that they are taking this virus seriously.We’re so excited for Nikki Glaser this weekend! Thank you Comedy Attic for doing everything the right way!

Just saw Nikki Glaser. I can die happy now.

Love this place. Very reasonably priced and never disappointed me so far. Food decent as well.

Very nice service and delicious tacos!

Always a fun time. Great comics!

Overall its a pretty good place, my only real issues were that it was rather cramped, the drink prices werent listed on the menu, and as far as I could see there were no signs that said two drink (or item) minimum per person.But overall it was pretty nice and Matt Braunger was on point when I saw him there. I will say, if you want the better seats, you should probably get there sooner rather than later.

This place is awesome. Lots of great laughs and the tickets are almost always under $18. If you have the chance to go, take it, youll have no regrets.

I understand wanting to maximize revenue but the seating is so tight I have no idea how its not a violation of fire code. You are in there like sardines. The venue was clean and orderly. Servers were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere and surroundings were fine (except for the aforementioned proximity issue). The comics however werent as entertaining. When the opening act gets more laughs than the headliner, that is a bit telling.

First time there and I loved it! Definitely recommend if you need a good laugh for a few hours. There’s food and drinks.

Great place to go out for an evening. Have been several times and never disappointed. Fun place and great atmosphere.

Best comedy club in the world. As Maron says Its comedy Mecca.

Great service, great drinks, okay food, wonderful selection of entertainment, small space. Not handicap friendly, Id say. If tickets are sold out, youll share a table with some people, if youre okay with that. To feed two people 2 drinks and 2 meals cost $36. Suggest, eating before and just getting drinks. Always come early! Fills up fast, but youll have a great time!

Small but so much fun. They have great comedians

A little crowded, im surprised the fire marshal allows that many seats......but great venue for seeing good live comedy up close and personal......and food prices are a little on the steep side....4 drinks, 2 small appetizers with tip was $60

Rory was flipping hilarious. I have not laughed that hard in years. 5 stars for the attic.

Great place for a show, not too many people at once. Offers multiple times for same show. Good food as well.

Ive been to comedy clubs all over the Midwest and this place tops them all. Great atmosphere, superb comics, sharp audience, and lovely staff.

Crazy intimate venue that makes for incredible experiences with world class comics.

Good food selection and the comedians were pretty funny too, especially Paige and Moses Storm.

Great room, great environment. Looking forward to seeing many more shows here

I’ve been there a couple of times and have had great laughs and great service each time. Will definitely go again!

Last act, Stewart Huff, was the best. Crowded , squeezed in tight. Fun evening.

Always a great time. They do tend to squeeze people in a bit too tightly when a show sells out.

Comedy was good, but theres an unadvertised two drink minimum. We were not aware until the show had already started, and were upset to have to pay almost double what we thought. It was also distracting to have to deal with ordering and paying while trying to watch the show. If the management needs extra money, they should charge more for admission instead of making people buy drinks.

Its a really great experience every time. I have gone here several times and whether it was to see some one I had heard of or some one I had never heard of it was always good. The food is just decent, but the comedians are great. So, overall the place is amazing.

Love this place! You get the best of both worlds here: small venue, and some great artists who dont tend to do small venues anymore. Practically every big name comedian has performed here, and not the expected before they were famous. You will likely have to share a table with a couple strangers, which I find lovely (usually), but just be aware, if that isnt your cup of tea. The food is decent. Cheese curds and root beer float, yes please. The fried pickles were disappointing the time I had them.

Had a great show featuring Roy Wood Jr. The atmosphere is always great and so is the comedy. Its always nice to have great acts out in Bloomington.

Saw James Acaster here and it was a phenomenal show. Staff was good. Only problem here is the seating. In a sold out show I got to sit literally touching the stage but had to sit uncomfortably close to my table and the stage with another customers seat touching the back of mine. No leg room at all for 2 hours but worth it for the show. Some good acts come through also got to see the Whitest Kids U Know awhile back.Food is good but not great. However very reasonably priced, especially for similar types of venues.

Great comedians are always coming through, and the local talent they have is fantastic. Good drink selection and decent enough food to get you through a show.

Great staff, great names in comedy, my favorite outing in B-Town!!

It is not handicap accessible. I could not attend the show because I could not navigate the two flights of stairs to the staging area. There is nothing on the website that indicate that this is not handicap accessible. I drove 2 hours to attend this event and I was beyond disappointed.

The performers were good and servers were very courteous. It was just sad that the place was not handicapped accessible.

This club is amazing and probably the most underappreciated part of Bloomington. The caliber of comics that you get to see here is absolutely ridiculous. I dont know the owner, but hes clearly the reason this place is successful and will personally reply to emails, sometimes even with a recommendation of a comic you might like (he did to me and Nate Bargatze is now one of my favorite comics). Im amazed at the troll/local guide who left a 3 star review, probably after paying $25 to see a comic who you would normally pay $50 for in most cities and in those places you would have a terrible seat at that price. Honestly, Bloomington should be ashamed of anyone who gives the Comedy Attic less than 5 stars since this is the kind of place most Bloomington-sized towns dont have.

Waiters and waitresses where nice . But you should call before you drive there . We bought advanced tickets expecting to see someone and they weren’t there . The mayor took the persons place and it was a nightmareYes I’m sure he was cussing and said jokes and some thought he was funny we did not and then introduced somebody else who was ok. I can find the mayors name if you want. It’s been a few years ago.

Never in my life have a been to a place so accommodating. My boyfriend has cast on both legs, unable to bare weight on either, and completely wheelchair bound. They were able to get him up all the stairs. I want to personally thank Jared for helping me with all of this and making this an unforgettable night. We cant wait to come back!!

Had fun all the comics were great. Food prices are on the website if you need them.

Great place! Must-go when in Bloomington.

I love this place. Its an intimate space which makes for great comedy. Im not a big fan of the L shaped layout of the place but its not a big deal. Its about the only place in town for comedy but big names come through the place. Drink prices are on par, offers reasonable finger foods. Very nice wait staff!

Friendly staff, funny comedies and decent prices

I have been several times and I am never disappointed. This is a very fun place if you like to laugh you should go.

Great venue for comedy!! We had a great time!!

Seems to usually have good comics.Surprisingly fairly priced food for for a comedy club.Has a two item minimum.

Best fried pickles in town! And the comedy is pretty awesome too!

This place was great! So much fun at a great price.

Always a fun time

An undeniably great comedy experience all the way around.

Amazing staff, great venue! Came for Moshe Kasher and even the opening acts were great! Drove 3.5 hours and was well worth it. Will be returning.

Great atmosphere for live comedy.

Bloomingtons own Comedy Club! Its a bit crowded in here but as a space open to all ages, this is definitely an option for a wide audience in thr town. Often times there is a mandatory purchase of two drinks if I remember correctly so watch out for this. Tickets are often super cheap so this is well worth the price. Now only if we could fix parking so close to the square

Small enough for everyone to enjoy the comedians with out being too far away. I always enjoy the talent they bring. Tiffany Haddish was goals but Deon Cole was my fave! Food and drinks are always good. Try their specialty margarita. Also, the owner is super nice. I would definitely visit again!

The Comedy Attic is the best, especially the bartender. She is great.

Went to an open mic night. There is a cover and a two drink/food minimum. The comics depend on the night but it was still fun.

Random seating based on arrival, about 1/3 of the room sits off stage right, I ended up on the edge wall. This leaves no view of the screen for the pre-show opening, and its up to the comedian to turn for those seats to see them full-face (which puts their back to two rows on stage left). Tough room to maximize for a stage because the bathrooms are behind a curtain off stage left, but itd be a better experience for people where I was for it to be from that corner. The staff was nice and wed go again, but try to sit straight on.Update: had a great talk with the owner, that column of seats is only used in a sell-out and theyre trying to work with building folks to reorganize to fit them on the opposite wall.

Best place for a great night out!

Great time and reasonable drink prices.

Its our favorite date night spot. I also really enjoy Brads outfits. They make my drinks strong and my wifes drinks stronger and that works out better for me too.

Nice place and good comedians

The gentlemen we saw was great. Very funny and his language qas very clean,great example that you dont have to cuss to be funny

It was the first time at a comedy club. It will not be the last. Thanks for a good night Comedy Attic.

A great venue for stand-up comedy. The size of the place is not that large (100+) but the crowd is right around the performer. The food and drinks are lighter fare so dont expect a big sit down meal before the show. Ive seen a number of great performers here and plan to see many more.

Best Comedy in Bloomington.

Love this place! Great atmosphere and great food/drinks and they have always had a great group of comedians!

One of the best comedy clubs in the country - they get some serious acts every month. Great service, too.

Great comedy. I would love some more food choices for the two item minimum. Some system do need updating but the experience is worth it.

Love this local business they have a lot of big name comedians. Treat your significant other to a night of fun at the Comedy Attic or go with your friends either way you’re gonna have a blast.

Absolutely love this place!! Recently named one of the Top 10 comedy clubs in the country. They get the best acts in the state. Very reasonably priced. Rather you are with family, or looking for an alternative date destination, I HIGHLY recommend the Comedy Attic for ANY occasion. I can NOT say enough about this place.

So many fantastic comedians have done sets in this intimate venue: Margaret Cho, Mike Birbiglia, Amu Schumer, and Hari Kondabolu. This Btown institution never ceases to amaze me in the talent they attract.

Named one of the top 10 comedy clubs in the United States by travel and leisure magazine, the comedy club is a great place to see local, regional, national, and global comedic talent! The cover is fair, the two item minimum is reasonable, the space is intimate, and the entertainment always leaves a stitch in my side and a bruise on my knee!

One of the best times Ive ever had at a comedy club!! Comfortable seating and all the comedians they book are my favorites. The staff is so friendly and the neighborhood is so fun. Perfect night out, cant wait to go back!!

Normally, excellent comedians, me, my friends and family love this place for a great night out! So happy comedy attic is in Bloomington, but group of us saw Ron Finches Friday. Worst comedian Id ever seen! First comment out of his mouth was how high he was! Terrible set. Either couldnt remember his act, or too stoned to be funny. He mostly just laughed. Very little laughter.

The best thing about this place is that you will always laugh here. Service leaves something to be desired, particularly when its a big event. The space is awkward and the few serving staff have a lot on their plate during those big events. I would suggest eating before or after your show.

This is what Marcella Arguello a so called comedian tweeted that is scheduled in February. Disgusting.Look. Good. In fact you should see me have an abortion - I am BREATHTAKING. Literally I am taking someone’s breath. It’s beautiful.I am pro-choice but for anyone to say its beautiful to take a babys breath away is sick! It is very emotional to choose to have an abortion and no one should joke about it.

Best intimate stand-up club anywhere in the Midwest. The comedians are all A-list, the waitstaff are like ninjas (hippie ninjas), and management respects comedy as an art form above all else. If you like comedy and you live within driving distance, you owe yourself a night out at the attic!

Truly amazing comedy.

Always bringing the best acts to town

The comedy attic is amazing. Bloomington is so fortunate to have such an active, well-reputed location for stand up comedy. It is seriously one of my favorite places in town. I always bring guests here when I have out-of-town visitors, and everyone has a ball!

Had a great time.. Looking forward to going again .. Will definitely be inviting friends and family to come too ... Big enough for large groups and small enough for everyone to have great seats ...

The Comedy Attic is a great place to see some fantastic stand up comedy. The talent they get, and help grow in Bloomington, is always high.The biggest faults are hard to avoid, sometimes. The options available for the 2-item minimum are average at the very best of them. Weve went through the menu multiple times to find something edible and almost all of it isnt that good. They have repeatedly burnt very bland popcorn.Seating wise, there can be problems. Seated by party size is understandable, but it shouldnt be a big problem to mix a few parties at a table. Waiting outside for doors to open for over 30 minutes, and being first in line, just to be seated further back from people who arrived twenty minutes after the doors opened feels a bit ridiculous.Again, the talent and atmosphere is top notch. Its so good that their biggest issues dont detract from the overall feeling, as much as it should. Its the disappointing thing that our group has felt we must except these issues and hope that theyre fixed eventually. We love to go for the talent and the atmosphere, but we always know well have issues with the quality of the 2 items we have to get. Theres, also, a chance we could arrive earlier than everyone else, but still get seats that arent ideal compared to others who show up distinctively later than us.

Always a treat, great staff, great audiences, great talent.

It was my wife and my first comedy club and it was great, cant wait to go again...

First time here, I had a good view. Seating is pretty tight. Youre close to bumping elbows with strangers. You share your table with people. Food is...ok. Definitely bar food. My food was served semi-cold except the chicken tenders. Those were made fresh but every thing else wasnt hot. Not a wide selection but at least you have something to eat while you drink. Friendly staff. Was pretty impressed by the waitress remembering everyones orders without writing it down. It wasnt a full house but the waitress was alone serving by herself. Comedians were mediocre that night but Ill definitely be back. Good date night spot for after dinner plans somewhere else. Parking can be found behind the building. Parking meters but I dont think you have to pay after a certain time which the shows are in the evening.

Awesome comedy club, great staff and also great act.

Great environment for comedy. Outstanding talent comes from all over to perform here. Highly rated by both patrons and comedians alike.

This is by far the best comedy club around. The owner runs a tight ship. The staff is amazing and the food isnt bad either.

We always have a wonderful time at the comedy attic. Fantastic atmosphere with a steady flow of top-notch comedians!
