For a while it was a given: Stress Factory was a good comedy club, but couldn't bring in the big names. Things have changed. The Stress Factory now attracts top talent, thanks to owner Vinnie Brand. Brand is a stand-up comic himself, and hosts not only the Wednesday open mic, but every performance as well. A funny guy in his own right, Brand has introduced some impressively famous and funny acts such as Jim Breuer, Macio, Jim Norton and even original gangster Robert Klein. There are great gimmicks, such as the stage-left payphone that comics use to make audience-request prank calls. The drinks aren't cheap and the food isn't haute cuisine, but both are about par for the comedy club course. And, of course, all that laughter helps everything go down better. -- D.J. Roth

Had A Good Time
By lnatori on 12/07/2005
I went to the club twice before and both times were good. I definitely didn't feel like I wasted my money. The only thing I didn't like is that it can feel a little cramped, so get there early ( for a good seat). Food was not bad either.

Owner Is Funny
By the2002guccigirl on 11/26/2004
I go about 6 times a year and Vinny the owner always has me laughing. It is always a full house and the staff is very friendly. They even have a CD of prank phone calls they have made during the show and my dad is on track number 14. While you wait they have a bunch of TV's and well I can't explain you just have to be their!
