Family-friendly magician, but everything else was a rip-off. Tickets $20 each with no child pricing—even for a three-year-old. I missed the online discount and only got one at the lower rate, the rest cost more at the door. The guy taking the money was rude. Concessions were outrageous: $3 bottled water (no cups), $7 pretzel bites, $3 extra for Tostitos cheese. Show was fine, but pricing and service were the worst part.

Hi Jen, thank you for coming to the show and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the magician, but we’re truly sorry that the rest of your experience didn’t meet expectations.
We understand concerns about pricing, especially for families, and we’ll be reviewing our ticketing policies with your comments in mind. As for your interaction at the door, that’s not the level of service we strive for, and we apologize if our staff came across as anything less than welcoming.
We’d love the chance to make this right and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the fun, family-friendly experience we’ve been known to offer. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at tickets@thecomedyarena.com

This was my friend's & I first time here to see a comdey show but not just any show a magic comedy show with Mark Clearview. The atmosphere was great & inviting and the highlight was our server Ms. SUN. She had the best personality, super nice & great customer service. Checking on our table throughout the night & became family like a long lost cousin...LOL. If u visit this venue request ur server to be Ms SUN.

Food: The main entrees we ordered were not good at all! I would recommend just buying drinks. We ordered the following
Appetizers:
1) Meatballs: this tasted like it came out of a frozen dinner. It was not great!
2) mozzarella sticks: this might have been the best dish we ordered. It was definitely frozen mozzarella sticks, but it was good!
Entree:
1) Tex Mex burger- this did not taste fresh! It had a funk to it!
2) chicken tenders: It was fine! Nothing to rave about. I wouldn't order it again!
Ambiance: Weds night improv was so much fun! I would recommend buying your tickets online since the room is a bit small, and you get a discount for buying online rather than at the door!!
Service: Our server was great!

This was a really cool place where they have performances and apparently classes. We came by to watch an improv group. The drinks they have are delicious, but the variety of food could be better-- especially adding in a few gluten free options.

Hi Shana,
Thanks so much for checking us out and for the kind words about our performers and drinks. Love hearing that! We actually do offer a variety of food options, including gluten-free flatbreads, so we’re sorry if that wasn’t clear during your visit. We’ll work on making those choices easier to spot. Hope we get to see you again soon!

This is a well-run club with great shows and the best classes. I go venues at least 2-3x per week as an audience member, performer, and occasional show producer, and The Comedy Arena is my top recommendation. The shows are fun! Management and staff are top notch. The food is good quality bar fare. Drinks are reasonably priced. It’s a friendly environment, and downtown McKinney is cute & vibrant with easy parking. Highly recommend!
$20 margarita that wasn't very good at all,the show wasn't good,it dragged on feels like we wasted a lot of money

Hi Steph,
Sorry the laughs didn’t land for you this time. That’s definitely not the norm, but we know comedy hits differently for everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of different shows at different times and on different days, so there’s something for every sense of humor.
Also, our margaritas definitely aren’t $20. In fact, there’s nothing on our food or drink menu at that price point, so if something seemed off with your check, please let us know. We’d be happy to look into it.
Either way, we appreciate you checking us your feedback.
