Saw Sh#t faced Shakespeare at laugh Boston and it was hysterical. Food was good. Drinks were ok... they didn't seem to know what was in specific drinks but they came out good. And the players just made our night.
Highly recommend this play

Came here to see "Shitfaced Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing". I thought it was really great! The show was hilarious. The show changes every week because one Shakespearean actor getting completely wasted before the show and attempting to complete the show all the same. And when they say Shitfaced - they mean SHITFACED. I would definitely go see the show again just to see what another actor would be like.
The waitstaff was quick and attentive. Drink prices were about average, which was nice - compared to some other theatres. All in all, a pretty good night.

I don't get why comedy clubs seem to be a dying breed. I remember at the turn of the millennium.....we would hit up a comedy places in the theatre district and then other nights we would go see national acts in Faneuil Hall. Apparently, those are all closed so what we are left with are extensions in swanky hotels on the waterfront.
The tickets were offered up to me by a promoter for free so I've got to admit, we may have not visited (nor did I even know this location) without getting those, so kudos to them for bringing me through the door. Now that I know it is here though, I'm pretty sure we will be back since I saw the list of upcoming acts and we are excited about one of them along with "Dirty Disney" nights they hold on occasion.
The club was clean, the staff was really nice and I like how you can even get food service at your table/high top. The bar drinks prior to the show were a borderline disaster though. It was a busy night and the poor guy was ALONE, so they clearly weren't staffed well. It took us over 20 minutes to get our one round of drinks and I may have had more if it wasn't for how long we waited. It was also so noisy that he didn't hear the order right from me and we ended up getting the wrong item which I walked all the way back out to my date at our table she was holding, only to find out it wasn't it and needing to take it back for a new one. They were priced about what I'd expect from a comedy spot, $17 for one mixed drink and a beer before tip.
The talent was all local that night and about a 7/10 in terms of funny. No, they weren't Chris Rock or George Carlin funny......but the laughs were there most of the time. They got progressively better and I understand why the last guy who went on was the headliner. The management is doing a great job at booking talent.
Pro tip - don't park at the hotel itself. If it's a good weather night and you go to a later show (we were at the 10 PM one), there will be plenty of meters in the area that are free that time of night, vs the $25 or so you'd pay in the hotel with no means for validation.

Went there tonight for Colin Jost. The show started 15-20 minutes late. Wasn't impressed that nobody was checking tickets.
Get there early so you can get good seats, the line for the show was enormous 20 minutes to show time. There is someone inside who seats you based on party size like a restaurant.
They do have servers inside who bring you drinks which was awesome. They have a decent beer, wine, and cocktail selection.

Boston's lucky to have a solid mid-sized comedy club in Laugh. They manage to book national headliners I'm super excited to see, like Emily Heller, Ron Funches, and Nikki Glaser. Besides the weekend shows, throughout the week they offer a variety of experiences; I really enjoyed the Roast Battle, Karaoke or Die! (RIP; wish it would be brought back), and standard showcases I've performed in. I'm not familiar with the food, but service in the main room and the bar has been outstanding. The staff is friendly and eager to assist patrons.
Additional pros: They don't skimp on alcohol in mixed drinks. Fellow patrons tend to be a high-spirited, eclectic group, maybe because of its location inside the Westin. You never know exactly who you'll run into or drunkenly bond with. It's far classier than the average club and has a sleek, modern design. My one (minor) criticism is that it sometimes feels overly sterile, especially when the room isn't packed out. I suggest checking their calendar and actually researching what kind of show you're about to see, lest it disappoint you. Just because someone's a headliner doesn't mean you'll appreciate their brand of comedy. That advice applies to any venue in Boston and beyond.

My favorite 'adulting' experience in Boston.
There are different shows/acts rotating all the time - a taste for all palates! I've always bought Premium seating - you're seated before General Admission (peasants... I KEED!), are able to sit with your friends/company, and have a server you can order drinks and/or food from throughout the evening.
Drinks are a bit pricey, but it's Boston - what do you expect? Overall, I think it's a really great experience to enjoy with your friends, significant other, etc.
