You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
Example: Although I did enjoy the food here, I was completely unimpressed (and slightly annoyed) by the overpriced margaritas. I ordered a platinum which contained "fresh" juice. It tasted like it had sprite in it, so I thought surely she gave me the wrong one. It turns out that "fresh juice" is really margarita mix on tap from the same gun as the sprite. I asked for something fresh to replace the horrible margarita and received a rocks glass with just muddled lime and a salted rim. I'm not sure it contained any tequila. Horrible! It's not that hard to make a fresh margarita!
Example solution: 2 stars
Example explanation: The writer has been annoyed in this place and has enjoyed the food. So, "2 stars" sounds reasonable for it.

Problem: The location of the Comedy Zone isn't bad at all - though you're in the basement, it gives it a sort of underground feeling. Well, it is underground, but underground as in hip, not underground as in below ground. Also, the ceiling isn't high, but it isn't low enough to make you feel especially closed in either, so that works.

What doesn't work has already been mentioned - you've paid for tickets (generally - you can find some decent free or nearly free shows if you look hard enough), and then you also have to pay for drinks, even for water (bottled only, no tap), and then you are expected to tip for said water. I don't mind adding a tip for good service. But if you want the money, ask for it up front rather than nickel-and-diming me for it. If the employees aren't getting it, pay them out of that ticket price.

Food is reasonable, but don't go expecting anything outstanding - you are effectively in a bar, so go in with that expectation and you'll be fine.

As to seats, some are better than others. If you can get closer to the stage, the seats will be better. If you are seated along the back wall, it's not so great - people seated up front will walk in front of you, servers will walk in front of you, people at your table will walk in front of you (get the idea).

The shows? Generally pretty darn good - just keep all of the above in mind and it'll be good. The location is probably better than any of the prior ones, so hopefully they'll stay here for a while rather than moving again.
Solution: 3 stars
