I come to Comix each time I fly in to NYC. There are a ton of comedy clubs in this country, but there are none that are nearly as nice as Comix USED TO BE! The food was so good only 8 months ago, but now it suffers. I actually got some chicken raw last time. The crowds are small - and god knows it's not fun to laugh by yourself at a comedy show.
I will say the comics are always good considering what they are working with. There used to be a sweet, and cute audio booth boy that had the sweetest attitude, he even at one point actually refilled my ice water when my waitress was nowhere to be found before a show! The staff (mostly) really cared and went out of their way to make you happy. There needs to be more workers like that long blond haired booth boy.
I have a feeling that as much as I enjoyed staying in Chelsea for a long days work and to come down a few blocks to see a good show while getting waited on hand and foot is in the past and the staff will keep getting worse and all the good workers will continue to disappear.
I think it's worth your time to go elsewhere at this point if you want to get your laugh on. Sigh.....
