Parking at Comedy Castle is usually not hard to find if you come early. If you plan to use the Entertainment book coupon (buy one admission get one free) be sure to make reservations first or they won't take your coupon. Admission is usually $10, more for special acts. Shows are 18 and up with is a great plus for underage college students with no place else to go. They WILL card you for alcohol, so don't even bother trying. If you are a non-smoker, the "non smoking section" here leaves much to be desired. There is no physical separation or ventilation between it and the smoking section, so you'll be smoking whether you like it or not basically. If this bothers you CC does offer a non-smoking show on Friday nights. The chairs here are unfortunately quite uncomfortable. The drinks here are yummy, but expensive, weak, and small. There are a few appetizers available. Service is okay. The MC will frequently remind you to tip your servers. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the comedians here, so that is a definite positive. So basically if you're coming here to get drunk you're coming here to get broke. If you will be drinking here, be careful with your driving situation as Royal Oak police hiit the streets in great numbers on weekend nights.

Pros: Great comedy, free tix through email list

Cons: Expensive weak drinks, very smoky
