There\u2019s nothing wrong with sharing that new sarcastic Wonka meme on Facebook or downloading an app to watch funny videos on your iPhone. But, did you know, there are real, live people who get paid to be funny in front of you \u2014it\u2019s true \u2014 and you can find these magical places in Phoenix. So, if you\u2019re ready to spend a night where your smartphone isn\u2019t the coolest thing in the room, check out Stand Up Scottsdale or Stand Up Live.<\/p>\n

Located in Old Town Scottsdale, Stand Up Scottsdale has a mainstage space and a secondary comedy lounge. Prices vary based on the show, but most will be around $15 with a two item minimum at the bar. It\u2019s probably best to eat before you go and order two drinks. Though there is a kitchen, trying to eat a full dinner during a performance isn\u2019t exactly idea. The main space has seating up close and personal to the stage and some more remote seating for any shyer audience members.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night shows are Open Mic nights, so the quality of the acts will vary widely. Luckily, each comic has a limited amount of stage time, so if there is a dud, it\u2019s okay. Thursday through Saturday shows are stand up sets performed by more established comics, many on national tours and boasting TV credits.
\nGet there early, especially if you\u2019re in a group. You\u2019ll want time to find a good seat (that\u2019s subjective based on your group and the comic\u2019s style) and get your drink order in. Reservations can be made via phone or email.<\/p>\n

Stand Up Live<\/h3>\n

\"sul\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Comedy Central certified club is located in Cityscape, in downtown Phoenix. It\u2019s easily accessible by light rail and there\u2019s plenty to do in the surrounding area. They draw great comics like Damon Wayans, Mary Lynn Rajskub and Jay Mohr (all playing in the next month).
\nThis is a crowded club. Lots of Yelp! reviews liken it to being packed in like sardines. Ticket prices are generally reasonable, but watch out for food and drink prices. They have a two drink minimum (not a two item minimum) and most drinks on the menu don\u2019t have a price listed. Expect drinks to start at $10 each. All tabs will have a 15% gratuity automatically attached. At night at Stand Up Live won\u2019t come cheap, but you\u2019re likely to see acts you just can\u2019t see elsewhere in the valley. They do validate parking at Cityscape for up to three hours with additional parking at only $2\/hour.<\/p>\n
