These rating systems should offer zero's, cause that is definitely what the HA! comedy club was!!! Terrible place to go to. I don't understand how others give this place an average of 4 stars. they must have their own staff writing in to boost up their rating. The place absolutely sucked. It was definitely a waste of an evening. If you are into comedy, do some research ahead of time. I don't mind paying $$$ to see a good show, but if I knew ahead of time I would rather have gave my money to the homeless guy outside of the place! Pros: There aren't any Cons: Overpriced drinks, crappy show

The place is a dump and the owner is a cheat. It's always dead, never anyone in the joint. Stay away!

Be fore warned! This place was horrible! I went to support a friend of mine that had a gig there. Besides being a complete dump, our waitress could not seem to keep up with drinks in a room of maybe 20 people. (And I understand! I used to be a New York City waitress in a really busy restaurant!) Anyway, she came around to get our drink order for the first round before the show (it was a 2 drink minimum), which was ok. For the second round she completely ignored me and my two friends, who were sitting right up front, despite trying to get her attention several times. We finally got her attention and ordered about 20 minutes before the show was over. Instead of getting our drinks, she proceeded to pass out the checks to all the tables. Next thing we know, the show is over, and all my friends want to leave (this place is not that fun to just hang around in). Well, I still didn't have my second drink that I'm required to buy so I ask the waitress and she's having them brought over, a good 5 minutes after the lights go up. And she had already charged me for the 2 drinks. I proceeded to get the manager to see if he would just take off my one overpriced beer that I didn't receive. I was extremely diplomatic, being very careful not to make the waitress look bad even though it was her fault. The waitress and bartender were incredibly rude to me and saying "who do you think you are? why do you think you can be treated differently than all the other patrons?" I'm pretty sure my 2 friends and I were the only ones who did NOT get to enjoy our 2nd drink before the show was over. The manager was not much help either, just kinda stared at me blankly saying he wasn't going to do anything. Bottom line, these people don't care, they don't have repeat customers! I guess I could have thrown a bigger fit, but that's just not my style. Pros: Lots of empty seats so you can sit wherever you like! Cons: Service is horrible

THIS PLACE IS A SHITHOLE AND IS THE WORST "COMEDY CLUB" IN NYC!! The managment people (Anthony, his fat wife Vikki, and bald Michael) are all cheats!! There business deserves to go down. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! Unless you are completely wasted before you step foot into this disgusting, dark and creepy "comedy club" you will not enjoy yourself. The comedians are absolutely terrible...def not what you call comedy. I guess you get what you pay for...

My husband and I were walking through Times Square when a guy handed us a coupon for the club. We'd been to the Comic Strip and other clubs before so we thought we'd give this one a try. Not all the comics were that funny (still better than the club on the Upper West Side, though) but there were two Seans in the show (my husband's name is Sean so I remember). The 'black' Sean did jokes about scaring people in a tanning salon, and traveling, and the 'white' Sean did jokes about being Jewish with an Irish name and about his family. Both were hilarious and were nice enough to talk to us after the show. For five bucks we recommend it highly, but I have one complaint? I called the club to ask when the Seans would be back and they couldn't tell me. Pros: Funny, funny Seans Cons: It's in a basement, and you can tell

Let me start by saying I think our previous visit to the Comedy Cellar scewed our perception of funny comics. We had a blast at the Comedy Cellar and decided to try HA! last minute. The comics were not that funny. I think we laughed maybe 5 times the whole show. I guess if we had not experienced the Comedy Cellar we would have thought these comics were funny but they weren't even in the same class at the other comics. I would not recommend this comedy club to anyone. If you are really looking for hilarious comedy check out the comedy cellar, reservations required. Pros: None Cons: Bad atmosphere, comics weren't funny

My friend and I decided to come to HA! for a few laughs and that's exactly what I got.... a few laughs. The drinks were weak and there was only one out of the 4 comedians that actually made me laugh hysterically. I've been to comedy clubs before where I laughed from beginning to end. In addition to the one funny comedian, the host was very funny, I think they should have left him on stage all night. Overall, it was an ok comedy club. Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Drinks

I was walking through the city and got a flyer for this little comedy club. Me and my friends were like screw it lets go. I went there and every comedian was hilarious. I have never been so entertained. Ive been to Carolines and Dangerfields, but this place will always be my favorite. I have been there about 8 times already. All my friends love it. They send u deals through ur email every week. The comedians are nice to u. When the show is done they are outside and they will talk to. Check them out on myspace too. They just put up a site.
