Read MoreAs a regular patron of Comedy Connection I can truly say that it is an amazing establishment. They have incredibly affordable ticket prices and some very popular acts that I would usually expect to pay a lot more to see at an arena show, but instead get to sit close to the stage for a more meaningful interaction and memorable show. Hurry up and get the tickets for your favorite comics though, because they sell out fast. Also get there kind of early, especially with popular comics (at least if you want to sit up close and possibly interact with the comic), because the place fills up FAST some nights. I love the fact that there is a place in central Rhode Island that you can not only get a LA/NY comedy club styled show, but also that it is prominent enough to pull great talent and still be priced affordably. If not for Comedy Connection we would all be stuck commuting to Boston or paying high dollar prices for local theater venues in Newport. I will say that I debated for a bit on whether or not to give it 4 or 5 stars however. That’s solely due to the fact that they no longer have a kitchen that serves anything other than what is essentially airline snacks and drinks, maybe as far as movie theater although I believe their popcorn isn’t even made in house. With that being said my friends and I have been able to turn the negative into a positive by making sure to incorporate local dining and cuisine in with our night out for comedy. We have found some excellent restaurants and had lots of fun by eating either before or after, and given that it did not take away but in fact added to the positive experience I elected to give 5 stars after all. Although I would like to see some actual food and/or a somewhat functional kitchen return to Comedy Connection as a matter of convenience on nights we have less time to go out, we have managed to find plenty of joy frequenting the establishment without it and will continue to do so regardless. If you are in town, or even in the state, check out the talent performing while you are here, and if you can find a show that isn’t sold out then I would absolutely recommend if not insist that you should absolutely stop by here as a must see for RI, you won’t regret it, just make sure you make dinner plans separately either before or after 😅. Hope you all have a laugh and take it easy!
