Comedy Mothership

Came in from out of town with no ticket and waited in the standby line and was able to get into an open mic! Amazing comics! And the Astonian Assasin dropped in! If you can’t get tickets to Kill Tony, I highly recommend the open mics! Love the old theatre! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. A++

I've been to a handful of comedy clubs and this one is doing it right. Every single member of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They have you turn off your phones and lock them in a bag and I think it makes for a well focused crowd. The level of comedy here will make you rethink your work watercooler jokes. It was nice to hear full throttle comedy from a complete variety of human beings. So many different aspects of life but ONE goal, to make you laugh. There is a 2 drink minimum but the drinks were made well so 2 will be gone before you realize. Even if you cant go to the Kill Tony show I recommend any ticket you can buy to this place because it is an experience. I will be back!

10/10 Experience at the Comedy Mothership Saw Joe's List and it was absolutely incredible! The service was excellent, and of course the comedians had us laughing nonstop. One thing to note before going-phones aren't allowed. If you bring one, staff will turn it off and lock it in a bag for the show. A little unusual at first, but totally understandable once you're inside. Drinks were also fantastic. Highly recommend this spot for a night out!

I mean what an experience. supersedes any expectations you could even imagine going. The staff were so friendly and so helpful. it goes without saying that the comedians were world class. we were fortunate enough to see if you a few of the more famous come out and test their new material. I was in Austin for 3 days and I went all three nights. I can't wait to go back

They take your phone, watch, and anything they think might be able of recording if audio. They immediately set the expectation that the comedy sets you’re about to see are so funny and incredibly that they think you’ll want to record it all. No comics live up to this standard and ultimately you leave disappointed. Meh at best…. The whole time I just wanted to know what time it was and how much longer before I could leave, but they took my watch.

First time at this venue and it was a pretty smooth process going in, they had us lock our phone and Apple Watch up, not sure if that’s the norm or just for the comedian we happened to go see. Everyone was then checked with a metal detector, the inside of my wristlet was checked as well. Once inside, it’s big enough to accommodate a good size crowd but still feels like an intimate venue. There is a 2 drink minimum and have a good amount of non alcoholic options. Husband and I had a great time!

Great show. Service was good, drinks were good pours. Place had great AC and clean bathrooms. Can’t ask for more of a comedy club.

It was so great to check out the Comedy Mothership and see the Joe Rogan and friends show. I would recommend going to the club early, ~ 45 mins and hangout at the bar (Mitzi’s) next door until you get ushered into the room. The staff will place you in the front of the stage at random depending on your spot in line and then further back from there. Overall it’s a great club with a guaranteed fun time!

Comedy show itself was great, venue is very nice and very clean. Only downside is customer service is severely lacking. Our waitress added another ticket to ours without consulting us and refused to do anything to change it when the show concluded because she closed the ticket. Then we were charged for much more than we were billed, and are having to dispute the charges with our bank.

Thanks for bringing comedy to Austin. JR! We had an amazing time!! The lineup is always sure to be great and the staff will treat you like royalty.

I spent Thanksgiving with my family in Austin, Texas. We decided to wrap up the getaway with a visit to the Mothership Comedy Club. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The venue itself wasn't impressive, the drinks were terrible and overpriced , the service was mediocre at best and they don't sell / offer any food or snacks. The one saving grace? The main act was absolutely phenomenal and made the trip worthwhile. There will be no photos because the venue security staff make you lock your phones and smart watches in bags before you enter the venue .

Comedy Mothership in Austin, TX, has some good points, but it's not without its flaws. The club has a cool, retro sci-fi vibe that makes it feel unique, and the lineup often includes some solid comedians. However, the seating can be uncomfortable, and the space feels a bit cramped, especially on busy nights. Drinks are on the pricier side, too, which feels like a bit of a stretch given the overall experience. As for the performances, some nights are hit or miss. While there are genuinely funny moments, there are also times when the acts fall a little flat and redundant. I mean how many comedians back to back to back need to talk about raunchy sex? Overall, Comedy Mothership is a decent spot to check out if you're already in downtown Austin and want a laugh, but it may not be worth going out of your way for.

Comedy Mothership is an absolute gem! The venue is top-notch, with a great atmosphere that's perfect for comedy shows. The lineup is always hilarious, and the energy in the room makes every show an unforgettable experience. I was lucky enough to see Tony perform, and he absolutely crushed it--definitely the highlight of the night! If you're looking for a good laugh and a great night out, Comedy Mothership is the place to be!

When you're in Austin it's suggested that you watch a live comedy show. Of course one of the popular theaters is the comedy mothership which is owned by none other than Joe Rogan. I wanted to watch the main act but that was sold out a long time ago. However, if you would like to watch comedians practice their stand up in the two rooms called fat man and little boy, one can do stand by tickets if none were purchased online. Whichever one you get tickets cost around $50-$40 and a show is around two hours, but you will miss around 30 to 40 minutes of the show since standby starts that late into the show. Also, there's drinks that you are required to buy but I got non-alcoholic drinks which costed around $8-$9. There's no food so just be wary of that. The show was alright as they were comedians trying out their bits for practice. I'm glad that you can't reckless and there was security everywhere so that's good.

Went in for a night of laughs but the place was full of people smoking marijuana which is illegal here. It smelled of skunk and the comedians were largely unfunny as if some arbiter with no sense of humor hand picked the worst comics and brought them to Texas

Intimate venue, which is a cool setup. Good crowd. They disable your phone upon arrival. No photos or anything are allowed. I would say about a quarter of the comedians didn't hit for me, but overall was a decent time.

I'm not sure why there are bad reviews for this place. It's a really cool, intimate, comedy club with two different rooms for comedians to do their thing. Seating, u less you have a private booth, is a bit tight, but you make friends real fast with those sitting next to you, and you're literally a stone's throw distance from the comedians. ***There is a two drink minimum... and when you purchase your ticket(s), you are informed about this. ***you can not have your phone on, you MUST turn it off, and it WILL be placed in a Faraday bag along with any smart watches. ***FOOD is NOT served here, so eat before you come here... If you're easily offended, don't come here. Plain and simple. The comedians are putting it all out there, and comedy means everything is a discussion point/fair game. Loved this place, and we will definitely be coming g back!!! Thanks, Joe Rogan, for creating a place for ALL comedians to do their gigs.

THE BIG: Located on Dirty Sixth, you can't miss Comedy Mothership from a mile away. An alien vibe with two comedy rooms: Little Boy and Fat Man. Street parking and garages are available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife on a Saturday evening to watch Russell Peters and we were situated in the Fat Man studio. I find it interesting that the rooms are named after the atomic bombs dropped but not after the alien theme the mothership is going for. Checking in was pretty easy. They don't allow people to congregate and block other storefronts, so the line generally begins on Trinity. It can get hot during the summer for the wait. You aren't allowed to use your phone, watch or airpods during the show. They have these nice little pouches they lock while you watch the comedy. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a great vibe here at the Comedy Mothership. There is a 2 drink minimum. Packed in like sardines but you get some really good laughs from all the comedians.

I feel very lucky to have the Comedy Mothership in Austin. I have to give it 5 stars simply because the level of talent that you have access to here consistently. Big names like Tony Hinchcliffe, Ron White, Shane Gillis, Kam Patterson, Brian Simpson, William Montgomery and many more. Kill Tony happens at the Mothership and while I haven't gone due to the tickets being hard to come by, it is easily the best live comedy show in the world. The Mothership has a unique space and alien aesthetic which is cool and the process for getting in is quite seamless with you beginning by waiting on the corner and then moving to the front with security taking your phones and scanning for metal. Feels very safe because of this but being on 6th street you can sometimes deal with some sketchy individuals. Because of the prestige, prices are not the cheapest compared most other comedy venues but in my opinion justified. They do tend to pack people in so it is a bit tight so I would recommend getting there early to be seated so you can get a more comfortable spot.

Obviously this is a hot spot because it's Joe Rogan's club. Only the best comedians are performing here, even if not super well-known. Tickets were reasonable at $55 per person. If you want to secure a booth, you must have a party of four, otherwise you will be packed in the front like sardines with random cocktail tables nearby for your drinks. It's a two drink minimum purchase required but they have non-alcoholic options like Liquid Death, Red Bull etc. you know manly stuff. Unlike other comedy clubs, They have a strict policy of when you can enter based on the showtime you paid for and the line up isn't anywhere near the entrance. Phones and smart watches are not allowed so they bag it for you and you have to ask them to unlock it before you leave.

Excellent location, great local talents, and efficient security staff without a long wait. All phones are locked away and they do not serve food. Drinks are an average of $15 per and there's a two drink minimum. Will def return.

No food, but they literally stuff you in there like sardines which was just crazy. Barely any leg room in the Little Boy room, but glad we you to move to the side with no one around us. We really enjoyed the comics. I got to see Ari Matti, Kam Patterson and a few other regulars of Kill Tony. The drink prices were crazy, over $100 for 4 drinks and a water. The waitress was nice and attentive. Only reason I'd go back is for the comics, but I'm sure Joe Rogan knows it and reason why he crams in as many people as he can.

Had high expectations and it was average at best (both the comedy set on 3/1 and the vibe). Some of the staff were phenomenal others not so much - specifically a lot of what I assume are the security & usher guys standing around in the venue feel more like a bunch of Rogan's MMA or Military buddies than professional, customer service oriented staff (I say that as a very A type former Military Member myself so I am not easily offended or upset ). An example would be, the men's room was an sloppy mess with a line and one urinal half covered up by a ripped up trash bag that said out of order. When I came out of the men's room I had someone else's paper towel or toilet paper on my shoe and the two security guys standing outside the men's room door told me about it laughingly and I laughed along and kicked it off my foot. Then they lost their smiles and said "well don't just leave it there, Pick it up, and go throw it away!". Yeah great idea, The fact that your men's room has trash on the floor and I accidentally get some stuck on my shoe and walk out headed back to the show becomes my problem to pick up with my bare hands and go throw away? the TWO employees handled it in a ridiculing, belittling way when I think what would've been more appropriate to either ask me if I wouldn't mind picking it up or themselves getting a broom and a dustpan (or some rubber gloves) and take care of it for the *Customer*. Amateurs: unprepared, unimpressive & unprofessional.

Went to a late show on a Saturday night (10:30p). Arrived at 10:15p and waited in line until 11p due to the prior show "going over." Once they allowed everyone to go inside, they take your phones and Apple Watches and turn them off and put them in a locked bag so you cannot record or take photos while in the venue. We had a booth which sat 4 people, but it's a small venue and a bit snug for 4. They have a 2 drink minimum, but drinks are average and way overpriced! For context, 4 liquid death waters cost $32 and that is before tips! All the comedians seemed to repeat the same jokes all night. Overall, a cool experience, but not worth returning.

This is a genuine old school comedy club layout. Some reviewers don't like the tight seating but that's how real comedy clubs are set up. The low ceilings make for the laughs to amplify, again that's how comedy clubs are supposed to be. They don't serve food which makes for less distractions during the show. The employees are all comedians so they are very aware of how to make it a memorable experience. The drinks were heavy handed, a bit on the pricey side but not overpriced for a good pour. I think the negative reviewers just don't understand how real comedy clubs are set up. The rooms are not oversized so there's really no bad seat in the house. The ticket prices are very fair, and you never know how might pop in for a surprise set. Definitely one of our favorite comedy venues to visit.

We were in Austin for a quick turn around and scored some tickets to see Joe Rogan and friends a week before the show. Such a great venue, small and intimate with not a bad seat in the house. Drinks were also surprisingly good for a comedy club and Joe Rogan and friends were hilarious. We have seen Joe Rogan at the Forum and this show blew that one out of the water. We arrived around 45 minutes prior to the show starting and we're able to score third row seats with general admission tickets. While it was a little squished it wasn't uncomfortable. I would advise looking into VIP if you want extra wiggle room, but it was so much more fun in GA. Oh and no snitches, all phones and any apple/Samsung wathes must be put in your assigned Yondr bag prior to entering the venue.

After two visits, I feel like I've got a good handle on this place. My first show was in the Fat Man room, where I was seated at a booth with three others. It felt a bit cramped, like we were practically sitting on each other, but the service was outstanding. The show itself was amazing, with big names like Shane Gillis, Ron White, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Joe Rogan making it an unforgettable experience. On my second visit, I was in the Little Boy room, which featured lesser-known comedians. The space was even tighter, but the show was still great, and I'm already looking forward to going back. Just a heads-up: there's a two-drink minimum. My brother was smart and went for two Diet Cokes. If you're into cocktails, the Old Fashioneds are delicious, and they're generous with the tequila pours. The merch is decent quality, though it has gotten more expensive over time. Make sure you leave as many personal items at home as the policies are pretty strict.

We have tried to get here in the past on the weekend or Friday night and it's pretty hard to get in. However, we were lucky to get in for the standby line to see Tony Hinchcliff and friends. I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm so glad that we Came to the show. It was top-notch. Huge shout out to Joe Rogan for what he's doing for the comedy scene. He put together one of the best clubs in the nation. He did a absolute amazing job with the layout. Shane Gilliss was a performer tonight and he was absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever seen his comedy before but I'll say I'm a big fan of him now. I was not a fan of Ron White. Everybody just seem to love Ron White, but I didn't find him funny at all. I don't find any comedy or comedian to be funny if all you do is emphasize on sexual content. That's a Easy way to get laughs from people that don't understand comedy. That's what you were call low IQ comedy. I was not a fan of Ron White at all. However, Shane Gillis was really good. Can someone please explain to me why anyone would think Ron white is funny. I didn't laugh at one of his obscene, obnoxious jokes. I save the best for last Tony Hinchcliffe Is an absolute assassin. This guy is a master of comedy. The way he works the crowd. The control he has over the entire crowd. Tony is top-notch high-level comedian. He didn't do any over-the-top, sexual bullshit like Ron White and the other guy before or after Ron White I can't remember his name, but Tony is a site to see. He is really comedy. Just is masterful. Once again, Joe Rogan has done an amazing job with this venue. I will always try to come see his lineup when I'm in Austin. Thank you Joe Rogan. This man is really did an amazing thing for the comedian community and Austin Texas.

Dropped by the Mothership over the weekend. No luck snagging standby or leftover tickets, but we hung out at Mitzy's Bar instead. The staff was welcoming, the drinks hit the spot, and the lighting and decor created a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.

Went to a show at Comedy Mothership on a Thursday night with multiple comedians rotating in the Little Boy room. The venue was really nice but the employees were honestly not the nicest. The comedians were hilarious and I loved how they had drink service during the show. Will definitely be back and next time I want to hit Mitzis's before!

I purchased tickets two months in advance and it wasn't even a headliner. Tickets are in high demand!It was definitely worth It. We saw about 8 comedians in our show. They seat 30 minutes before.But until then you need to scan your ticket on the ally . Then head to security and they will lock down your phone for you.From that point on you do not have access to your phone.They will have you Waite in the mitzes bar area. BUT KEEP IN MIND THERE IS A TWO DRINK MINIMUM PER PERSON WHEN SEATED. The seating is tight and you will be sitting closely to someone you don't really know. I had a hard time getting back to my seat after a bathroom break which was downstairs.It was a great experience just had a few kinks that made it difficult to get through. There is also a Merch stand on your way out. We left the mothership around 1:30 am and got to see 6th street at its finest.

Security is over the top and the 2 drink minimum is a joke. Drinks at the bar while you are waiting for them to seat you don't count toward the minimum. Fair enough, but let customers know in advance. My wife and I were escorted out halfway through the show. "Because" 2 of the comedians said we were too loud and disturbing them. I guess LOL at a comedy show is a bad thing. When we were escorted out there was an off duty police officer with a bullet proof vest walking behind us. My wife and I are 64 years old, never been arrested, already went through their metal detector and searched. All I can think is they must have some serious issues at that Club. Be careful if you go. Called them on the following Monday. Before I finished my first sentence they hung up. I called back right away and they had already blocked my phone number. I guess they got a lot of calls and figured the best way to handle it is block the fallers. PATHETIC.

Not a fan of their process when waiting in line and it's pouring rain and you cannot do anything but stand and get wet or lose your spot in line. Once seated, there is a two drink minimum that they tell you about but they have a poor selection of alcohol and cocktails. Bummer. Aside from those cons, the comedy show itself was great. I loved the line up we had. Our crowd was slightly racist and excessively chatty. Two of the comedians chewed those folks up and we all felt embarrassed for them. All in all, I had a great time.

While I wasn't able to get pictures inside the club (they seal up your phones and watches at the door), I was able to snap some pics inside Mitzi's bar after the show! What a fun place. Things to know before you go: There is a 2 drink minimum. They have plenty of NA options. There is no food on the menu. They don't serve glasses of water, but offer Liquid Death on the menu. Uber or Lyft is your friend, we don't mess with parking downtown. Be prepared to get in line and wait a little bit. They PACK the place, so unless you're in a booth just know you're going to be elbows to elbows with others. There isn't a bad seat in the place. Enjoy yourself! Laugh and have fun

The customer service out front nearly ruined the show for me. Showed up a few minutes early for my 10:30 show. I had selected "will call" for the ticket delivery option when purchasing the ticket. The girls out front asked me for my QR code. I told her I bought will call. "We don't have will call, if you don't find your QR code right now your ticket will be released to standby people." I tried to explain I had a ticket she insisted if I didn't have a QR code I didn't have a ticket and kept interrupting me. After a little bit of this I stopped trying and snagged another employee who was walking by. He immediately found my name on the list and let me in, the girl looked away and pretended to be doing something else. What a shame. Could have been such a seamless experience.

I hadn't been to a comedy club in years but with some friends visiting from out of town, I thought about checking out the Comedy Mothership. Located in the historic Ritz Theater and sporting an updated look after Joe Rogan's purchase and renovation, the 94-year-old venue is a great location for shows. The theater ground level includes a bar inside which patrons can enjoy while waiting to be seated upstairs in one of the two rooms, "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" with Fat Man being the main stage. Entering the theater involves a process that's a little cumbersome but actually very well organized. Visitors go to a staging area just around the corner next to the neighboring Iron Cactus where there's a brief stop to check pre-purchased tickets and provide an introduction to the theater. Presumably this helps manages the crowds and keeps them off of the sidewalk so they're not blocking the way for others. Each group is then escorted to the entrance where all electronic devices are shut off and placed in an electronic-locked fabric case that blocks cell phone transmissions. The cases are returned to the owner and remain in their possession until exiting the theater after the show, where the cases are unlocked. After a security check ticketholders are then free to enter the bar to wait until the doors open upstairs. The process moved along very well and I appreciate the fact that the purchaser of the tickets for each group MUST be present for the show. It's such a smart and simple way to put a stop to the predatory scalpers that keep ordinary folks from enjoying their shows. Our show included two warm-up comics who performed for twenty minutes each before the headliner, Ron White, came on stage for his set just shy of an hour in length. We followed the advice on the web site and got to the theater about 40 minutes before the show and ended up with general admission seats just off of stage left. There is a two-drink minimum and with pop being $4 each the prices go up from there for beers and cocktails. Considering that the tickets were only $40 each and you can pay a lot more for seeing Ron White, this was a bargain. Staff is super-friendly and bus your drink orders quickly to your seat. Overall we had a very enjoyable evening here. Highly recommended.

Great venue. Smooth operation. I just watched the 7:30 comedy mothership showcase tonight. I am not a snowflake not much offends me. But the old guy that finished the last show was not funny. And most of the people there didn't think it was funny. He screamed. At didn't like that nobody liked his shtick. You're in Texas and people here don't get offended easily. That however was not funny or enjoyable.

Bought a VIP booth for my husband's birthday and unfortunately we both came down with a vicious case of Covid. I contacted their customer service a day before the show and explained we were sick and asked if we could get a refund or house credit. We never heard back. And since they won't allow us to transfer the tickets, they just pocketed my $240 and likely sold our seats to someone else for a nice profit. That's really crap service IMO. We were so looking foreword to seeing a show but their policies suck. Won't be planning on buying tickets from them in the future. I'll stick to Cap City from now on. Buyer beware.

This was my first and maybe last time attending Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership. I attended the "Best of Comedy Mothership", 7-9 show on a Thursday. first of all, I didn't realize how pretentious this club has become. let me start at the front door, most of those guys are young and good at what they are doing. However, you have a few obvious "angry frat bro's" who think they are funny but are really just assholes and like to flex their "door power". I thought I was going to get into a fight with one of these guys when I asked him to unlock the bag so that I could have my phone. (I needed my phone because I use Apple Pay, which I was going to use to pay for a drinks at the bar). It was like I inconvenienced him and oh boy, the attitude and the smart ass comments from this kid. i think he was more angry that I didn't engage him and feed into his negativity. He was obviously looking for a fight. Now the bar. Let me put this disclaimer, I was not dressed up in any way. I wore tennis shoes, blue jeans, and a hoodie. this might be why I never received service from either of the "bartenders" there. They did attend to all the other guests who were dressed to the 9's. Those guests were obviously flaunting their money, and wanted to be seen and known that they are relevant. I literally sat at the bar, mind you it was early, about 6:15 pm, and I waited for my turn to be served ( I wasn't going to be that asshole demanding service). the "bartenders" did serve the other guests who arrived after i did, and were dressed up. By the time 1 of the "bartenders" approached me, it had been literally 15 minutes. now I understand most people would say, 15 minutes isn't a long time to wait for a drink. But it is obvious that because of how I was dressed, I was not their priority. I even saw other guests looking at me as if I didn't belong. I think I was the only person there with tennis shoes and blue jeans. the only others I saw wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes were some of the comedians that performed. Now on to the comedy. Again, I went alone, and I was sat at a table with 3 other people. I had no issue with that at all (turned out to be a good table, good people). This, I would give 5 stars. as others have posted, there is no bad seat in the house. All of the comedians that night were "bangers"! The actual comedy was the best I have seen in a minute. it was obvious that these comedians have worked and are perfecting their craft and are professionals. Great crowd work, great sets, it was great! Let me say this last thing and then I will summarize. the reason I felt like an outcast because of how I was dressed wasn't just because of the looks I got or being ignored at the bar, it was also the fact of all the asshole comments the staff made about me. How do I know? when I went to the bathroom, I would use a stall. again, I stuck out like a sore thumb because of how I was dressed. While I was in the stall, other staff that were "using the bathroom" at the same time as me would make comments about me. It was obvious because they were talking too loud about how I was dressed and how they should "watch me just in case". Mind you, I never spoke to anyone except to say thank. Other than that, I kept to myself and minded my own business. So, in summary, the club is pretentious as hell! the door is run well, my only recommendation would be accountability and leadership (it was obvious there was none of that at the door). Again, this was my first time attending a show here and although the comedy was great, i fear that others have had the same experience as I have but are too scared to write an honest review. I just want regular folks, who truly love comedy, to understand what the ambiance of this club is and how you will be treated because of how you are dressed.

I love Joe Rogan.... so he got stars because of the following. hiring staff at this venue is not his strong suit.... Rude rude rude and rude with their heads up their ... 80% of the staff. The sound guys in the back are by far the worst.. I'm not sure if these guys think they have paying clients or they think they have sheep and cattle. But I will never step here again I dont care how good the show is. You can thank your staff

Comedy Mothership has a lot of potential, unsure if they will make the changes necessary to better put the consumer first. They slam patrons into the comedy club. If there is a 4 top and you have a party of 2, each spot will be taken by someone, but you'll be sitting so close you'll have to consistently think about not hitting over their drink because they sit you at a table big enough for two. They also enforce a two drink policy. They let you know if you order a "double" it's cheaper than getting two mixed drinks. The doubles are not doubles. There might be double the amount of filler, but not alcohol. When I made a comment to the person sitting us about the amount of space provided to sit they said, "that's how we do things here". Ok, doesn't make it right. But they know people will cycle in and out so much it won't matter. If you want a better experience for people to consistently come back, give them some room to sit without having to worry about knocking over 3-4 drinks at a tiny table.

So this past weekend I visited the highly anticipated comedy mothership . To begin the comedy mothership is located on the popular 6th street. It is centrally located to everything. Once you arrival you are greeted and your tickets and ID must be shown . You are not allowed to have any electronics which in the beginning I thought they were crazy . But it was great not having my phone . It really allowed you to engage with the people you were with and it allowed you to pay attention to the show. Your phone is technically with you the whole time it's just you can't access it . It's in an enclosed pouch which only they can unlock for you . I felt extremely safe while I was there . They have a bar in the beginning of the comedy mothership . The drink I had was soo good . The bar is very cozy and intimate the whole mothership establishment is very intimate . Once inside the actually showroom you are allowed a two drink minimum. So don't say I didn't tell you . I had a fantastic time . The show was amazing I laughed so much .please check it out if you're ever in Austin . Until next time .

This comedy club is exactly what we were looking for! We both love stand up comedy and when we saw Ron White was coming, we had to go. Tickets were $40/each plus a 2 drink minimum per person. There's 2 different theaters inside (upstairs) with restrooms on the first floor. We were first timers and wanted to get good seats, so we arrived at 6:30pm for a 7:30pm show. They asked if we'd been before and because we said no, they put us in the very front row!! So I highly recommend getting there about 45-60 min early to guarantee a good seat. They do pack everyone in there like sardines, so if you need to use the restroom frequently, be prepared to squeeze between people to get in/out. The table service wasn't stellar as we only spotted a handful of servers, but we didn't go for that. We went for the comedy show and Ron White. Overall a GREAT gem in downtown!

Talk about an exclusive experience. From what I've heard/been told, getting tickets to any show at Comedy Mothership is relatively difficult. My boyfriend and I were diligent on their website to try and snag some tickets while we were in Austin and no luck. Tickets sold out almost instantly for a Joe Rogan and friends show on a Tuesday. We did some research and heard they do offer a waitlist so we called the box office to see what the best approach would be. The box office recommended we get there about an hour before the show starts to get on the waitlist. We got there an hour and 15 minutes early and were 4th on the list. It's pretty old school, they literally write your name down on a piece of paper and tell you to come back around the time the actual show starts to see how many tickets they can release. We got lucky and ended up snagging 2 tickets. If you time it out right, there isn't a lot of waiting around. Since we got waitlisted tickets, we didn't get a chance to have a drink at Mitzi's and missed about 30 minutes of the show but we still got so watch so many acts even before Joe Rogan even came on. They don't allow phones, smart watches, airpods, etc. into the venue which is great. The comedians really don't hold back which I love. Tickets are reasonably priced at $40 and there is a 2 drink minimum per person inside. Other than cocktails, everything was priced around $8. We got sat in the furthest seats near the bar and had the best view. I can't imagine any seat in there being bad. The had a very seamless process from getting us off the waitlist, to getting us seated, purchasing tickets, locking our phones, to getting us drinks throughout the show. I was super impressed with the level of service. My favorite thing over all is that they don't take 3rd party tickets. This really is what makes this experience seem so exclusive, but it controls ticket pricing. I wish every venue would implement this!

Terrible location, heavy homelessness around. Smells of feces outside club. Comedy is too small so if u have a belly laugh or laugh too long staff will shoosh you! Name should be changed from Mothership to Mother-Shut the F up!! Never will go back to a library style comedy show...

Dude. Best place ever. I want Joe Rogan to be the president, I really do! I'm not registered to vote but I would if he was on the ballot I would figure out how to. If he could run the USA like this club, I'd probably be drunk and laughing every day, rather than drunk and sad/ crying. But there's one catch, mustache guy was my server. Didn't like his attitude, even though he was a hunk. Bravo Joe!

For lovers of stand up comedy, Joe Rogan's conception Comedy Mothership is not to be missed! I love that Joe Rogan converted this place onto a comedy club after leaving California and moving to Austin. He's helped revitalize the stand up comedy scene in Texas. The venue possesses a fun alien theme. My friend and I made a one night trip to watch Dave Smith perform here. We are both fans of Rogan and Smith. This performance was in the large room of the two available rooms. For general admission, definitely get there early if you want to be close to the stage. It's first come first serve. No cell phones and no food. They provide a lock sleeve for your phone upon entering. A small select beverage menu is provided as there is a two drink minimum per person. Coffee, soda, and water are available to those not consuming alcohol. Small bar tables are shared amongst the patrons. Everything was great, from the lighting to the sound, and the seats. Rogan has mentioned multiple times that Louis C.K. even helped him with designing the space. After the show pop on next door to Mitzi's Bar for a drink. It's also owned by Rogan and cramped, but it's a great way to meet new people and talk about the show afterwards.

Visiting Austin, going to the Comedy Mothership was a bucket list item and it took a cancelled flight and some luck but we were able to snag waitlist tickets for a Joe Rogan and Friends show, and it couldn't have gone any better. We got in 30 minutes after the start of the show, but we still got to see Pauly Shore, Ron White, Shane Gillis, Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Simpson, and Joe Rogan. These are comics who are selling out shows all the time, and we got to see them back to back to back. Wild and hilarious, this was a crazy lineup for a random Tuesday night. Easily one of the biggest highlights of our visit to Austin. Joe Rogan weekday shows sell out with a quickness and we weren't able to grab some on they went on sale. We called the Box Office, and they suggested we come around 6pm on the day of the show to hop on the waitlist. We got there at 5:45PM, and were 4th on the list. They told us to come back around 7:30, when they release extra tickets, and we were lucky enough to grab 2. The tickets were $40 and totally worth the price of admission considering the lineup of talent we got to see that night. We had the furthest back seats possible, but right in the middle, and there's honestly not a bad seat in the house. It's an intimate setting, and one of the coolest comedy clubs I've ever been to. They have a 2 drink minimum, which can be used for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Liquid Death water and Redbulls are $8, so look to spend a minimum of $20 per person plus the price of the ticket. If you are fan of comedy shows and a fan of Joe Rogan, this is a must-visit while in Austin. You'll never know who he's going to bring on, but the comic scene is boomin in Austin, so there's a great chance you'll see someone you've heard of before.

Cool venue to watch a comedy show or two. Got to sit close to the stage which was really nice. They've done a great job of keeping the mothership theme throughout the place. A few things to keep in mind before arriving, they don't serve food nor do they allow phones or digital watches to be left on while inside. The drink menu was fairly reasonable, but unfortunately the service wasn't the greatest. It took forever to get my drink and would have liked to explore the drink menu more than what I was able to. Was only able to enjoy two drinks; the second one I had to drink down quickly because when it finally arrived the show was almost over. Aside from that it's a neat place to check out and I definitely recommend the Comedy Mothership.

We went here on a Thursday night. It was sprinkling and we had to wait around the corner for the bouncer to let us in. Before entering, we were searched: no AirPods, no Apple Watch, no phones - so they gave us a bag that is locked that we take with us into the comedy club. We were thoroughly searched by security. It felt very safe. I'm unsure if there was any food, but I got a bite to eat beforehand. It was a two drink minimum, so I got my usual Hendricks and Tonic. Felt a little tipsy, but not too much. Jokes were funny and some were way out there. Afterwards, you can take photos with some local comedians. It was very dark, but the comedians were still able to see our faces. We had a great time and recommend for anyone to see a show here. P.S. I think it's popular because Joe Rogan or some other now famous comedians used to perform here.

Went two nights the week of New Years. Lining up for a good seat seems to make sense. It's not too difficult. Locking the watch and bag up is certainly cumbersome. Good selection of drinks Will return. Experience is quirky but you kind of have to expect that. It would be pure pandemonium without the cat wrangling.

I've been to the Mothership twice! Coming up on a third time this week. I've experienced Mitzi's, the FatMan room, and the Little Boy room. I love how intimate the Little Boy room is, we were seated right by the comedians! The servers and security are the sweetest people ever and you can tell they actually love their jobs. I think it's such a cool and unique experience and I think it's something everyone should try at least once while visiting or living in Austin! The Mothership Margarita is also a must try!

Pros: For a comedy club the place is nice. Spacious with plenty of security and staff all around. The drinks were good and the coffee was excellent especially for the price point. I'm not kidding, the coffee was superb. There are tons of cameras and the fact they lock up phones was a nice touch that made me pay attention more. All the staff/crew are pretty funny but the security look like MMA fighters with veiny arms and cauliflower ears. No one heckled or made a fuss. Cons: way too expensive for what you get. The drinks are expensive and there is a 2 drink min. PER PERSON. Ridiculous. The ticket prices are high AF for a comedy place. You'll never pay that much for sunset ship, creek and the cave or any of the many many many comedy places in ATX. The seating is assigned as you walk in and they squeezed in way too many seats for the space. - you could get a very bad spot on the very corner parallel to the stage. Also, lots of extra automatic charges like tip added on. Not a very budget friendly place. Hats- people wear big stupid hats and they shouldn't be allowed. Take off your big dumb hat - you're inside and I can't see. The place obviously see a ton of traffic and the place is wearing down. Bathrooms are gross but not unusual for 6th street. Lastly, a lot of comedians get entitled just because they get a minute on stage here- it doesn't mean you're a 10/10. Just that you got the opportunity! Shout out to J legend. You funny AF.

Best comedy club I've ever been to. Love the venue! It has a cool theme that makes it very unique. Seating is kind of a pain, but only because it gets so packed, but if you're fine sharing a table with another couple, it's all good. Don't expect food here - this is not a restaurant. Drinks are a little overpriced, but it balances out because I feel like ticket prices are super reasonable.

10/10 recommend! I don't understand the negative reviews?! You get what you pay for. If you're a comedy fan, you'll get it. I've never laughed so hard! Staff was friendly and accommodating. We bought tickets for Tony and friends (AMAZING) and then decided to wait on standby for Pauly's show. We hung out in Mitzi's and had some drinks. Bartenders were attentive and friendly! High chance of making it in if you're on standby. They are very transparent about the expectations of your visit. 2 drink minimum, arrive early, have a good fucking time!!! This was a bucket list visit, and worth every penny. Thanks Comedy Mothership! You have something super special going on here

Flew to Austin just to visit the Mothership! You have got to be a fan of Stand up comedy to be as hyped as I was!! Can't get better than this Texas! I payed $40 and saw Mark Normand, Shane Gillis, Brian Simpson, Roseanne Barr , Tony Hinchcliffe & Joe Rogan!!! C'mon!! Not to mention Gavin our server was very attentive was quick to bring another drink with a simple nod. ( that's how you do it Gavin!) After the show we headed over to MITZI's bar. A lot smaller than I thought but we scored seats at the bar. Posted up and got to see the comics come down and snag a drink and give a wave. Cool vibes, I'll be back. The Fat Boy room was on fire that night!

One of the worst experiences of my life was attending an event at comedy mothership. Our group was very excited to go as we heard this was a premier comedy club. Upon arrival, you line up outside. It was very clear the staff did not want to be there as they were all entirely rude and somewhat aggressive to people in the line. Upon entering the club the staff and MC make it very clear that you are not to heckle the comedians. What they do not tell you is that if a comedian solicits audience participation as part of their bit that they will ask you to leave. One of the most absurd experiences ever. Would not go back. Would not recommend. Total tourist trap. Bleh.
