When was Theo at Reed?
Read here. I have indeed found a better venue and am pretty over the moon at this point. He'll probably bomb now:

I forgot to ever write a review of Theo at Comedy Mothership but it was the best comedy experience of my life.Sorry this is a bit long but the whole story is worth telling:
We get to the venue at 8:50 PM for the 10 PM show and were going to hit a bar across the street. Security guy tells me they are letting out the 7 PM show as we speak and to get in line for best spot. So my buddy and I did about 7 people deep.
They make you lock up your phone before you even go into the place, not just Fat Man or Little Boy rooms. And tell us they will take everyone into the bar area before we get to go into Fat Man. We walk in and I hand my buddy my card and told him get us drinks I gotta find the bathroom ASAP.
I'm walking down the tight space of people in line for drinks and out walks Theo from around the corner. He's suddenly 8 feet from me and starts talking to random people sitting in a booth. I am then suddenly standing right next to him but with his back towards me. I started thinking do I just keep it moving or wait and say hello. His conversation with the table lasted 10-15 seconds which felt like an eternity standing there awkwardly.
He turns around and looks right at me and says "How have you been brother?" as if he's known me forever. I said great man and we did a brotha hug and I said I'm excited to be here and looking forward to the show. I proceed to go on my way searching for the bathroom.
I don't get star struck that often and didn't think I would by Theo but the way it transpired so quickly and unexpectedly had my heart racing a bit. I go take a piss and was like wow that just happened already. We're off to a helluva start. Then I hear a girl yelling "Sir, Sir!". I'm like who is this yelling and what is going on. I get done relieving myself and there is a girl washing her hands and I said "Oh **** am I in the women's bathroom?" and she said yes.
I walk out and she's talking to a cop who approaches me and I said "Sir, I've never been here, I've had one beer, and trust me that was an accident". He said no problem.
They then line us up to go into Fat Man. We have G/A. A staff member tells us to wait where we are while he seats people in a booth. He comes back and takes us down to row 3 center. There were two rows of tables with 4 chairs in front of us, then an aisle way for the servers, and then us in the most prime spot ever 7 feet from the microphone. Talk about a whirlwind different experience from Reed Arena and a joke hasn't even been told yet. Start talking to random girl seated next to me and she shows me her Aggie ring and said her son is a Senior at A&M.
Show starts. First comic was from Pakistan and started off with a gay Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott joke and he was hilarious. Then next was a brotha I recognized that plays the Mothership often. Then it was a girl that appears on Kill Tony. Can't remember any of their names. She's the one that acts real autistic with an extremely dry sense of humor. All three had us rolling.
And then she announces the next guest and it's none other than Joe Rogan coming out from the curtain right in front of us. I'm a big Rogan fan but think his stand up is terrible. Well, on this night even he absolutely killed!
Then he brings out Theo. Much of his act was repetitive of what I had seen at Reed but it was still hilarious. That club is so well ran its not even funny. I wish they'd let you take pictures inside the venue but lock up your phone before you go into the actual performance rooms but whatever.
Left the club on cloud 9 after a 10/10 evening and can't wait to go back there again.
