Attended the first 'Up Scale.. Jazz + Stand Up'. We really enjoyed ourselves at the show. The only awkward part is the seating, but I get the reasonings. Be prepared for extremely tight seating.

The comedians are great, the facility is clean (albeit cramped), food is pretty good, drinks are drinkable (not swanky cocktails, just elevated mixed drinks), and the wait staff is attentive without busting up the show. There's an ease and comfort found at the improv shows and the actors/comedians really connect with the audience.

Great experience. A talented and unique cast. We ended up here because the second city show was sold out. I didn't realize until we got there that the two clubs are associated and share talent. You should set aside time to see a performance or two.

Had a great experience here! My first time at a comedy club and I had a blast. Food is just ok but great drinks and amazing shows!

My wife and I along with our adult children attended the "Holidazed and Confused" show last evening. The first half of the shoe was pretty funny making light of life's situations around the Holiday season. Unfortunately the second half of the show was a full out assault on Christianity! During one of the most sacred times of the year for Christians, the "comedians" accused Jesus of demanding lude sexual acts of his disciples! At a time of year, celebrated around the world as Jesus' birth, it was NOT "funny"! This was completely out of place in the show and unnecessary! Several actually walked out and frankly wish I would have as well! If you're a Christian and celebrate the birth of Christ, or respect those that do, I'd recommend you not see this show! This is the second time my family and I attended a Holiday show at Second City. Our first time, several years ago, was great and very funny with the comedians joking about all of our dysfunctional families around the holidays! Very disappointed with our experience this time!
