I stopped going here a while back. The owner was too high strung and depressing. I saw great comedians there, but I suffered while doing it. Why not just charge a ticket price that includes a drink and leave us alone to watch comedy? And please, stop getting awful opening acts. It was painful at times. I've only done stand-up a few times and I swear I almost ripped the mic out of a few hands to take over...my grandma tells funnier stories. It's too bad Seattle has such a bad comedy scene cause we have a lot of funny people here. I agree with other reviewers that this place needs an overhaul and the owner needs a few sessions of therapy.

Giggles is funnier than you'd think...apparently it's funnier than they thought too-- "Giggles" isn't exactly the peak of comedy, but it's a good start. Maybe that's how it is for performers who go there. While Giggles doesn't pull the big names, it does get a great number of up and coming comedians and comedians who are big, but never quite made the cut at prime time. For their generally cheap prices, however, these shows are worthwhile, especially when you usually get a voucher for another show for free. The room "where the magic happens" is not the green room because as I said, these are not big names, it is the main room where the comedy goes on, and this room is small enough to keep the environment personal, no matter where you sit. The only real drawback is that of all comedy clubs: the drink minimums. The bread and butter of comedy and strip clubs, drink minimums are always annoying, but a necessary evil to see some live comedy. Some say that it's to help the performers since the audience will inevitably get at least a little gigglier, but more so it helps the owner's, because let's face it, Open Mic Night is not exactly built on a foundation of undiscovered comedy genius. Still, for 6 bucks, it's worth going and seeing some new talent (which do exist) and some older talents who will make you more than giggle...especially with the two drink minimum.

Having lived by Giggles for years, I have always had an aversion to Giggles. However, after seeing Margaret Cho perform there, I did learn to appreciate the intimate venue. However, I still think it needs a serious remodel and a new coat of paint. It just felt dirty inside. I've gone there a few other times, enjoyed the shows, and just tried not to think about the ambiance. If there is someone there you really want to see perform, I recommend going.
