text: I went to a special event last weekend Pablo Francisco and about openers nnThe club looks really nice classy enough and it is in an area of Downtown Phoenix that actually seems to have some life to it now nnStand Up Live seemsmismanaged Our show slated for pm did not start until nearly pm The doors to the club did not even open until pm You are seated with your party and man do they pack people in tight You are essentially shoulder to shoulder and back to back with everyone else in the club Perhaps they just want to get you to know your neighbors but to me it felt more like herding cattle to maximize the money they are making I would have gladly paid more money for a bit of elbow roomnnThe food is standard read bad club food and they murder you on nonalcoholic drinks I paid for a soda You read that right for a coke It is clear they are most concerned with squeezing money out of people There is a two item minimum per person standard but they do not let you off the hook if you avoid alcohol Service was friendly and attentive which is a plus Gratuity was included at the end which was a little surprising since we were in a party of four nnOn the good side the club is clean and this seems to be the destination in town for the top rung comics to come so it is worth it to see someone great nnIm sure I will be back but it could be a much better experience overall
