Skyline Comedy Cafe

The comedians were funny and the drinks were okay, but the door man was a dick! Why would a fun place like a comedy club hire someone who hates life to greet you. «Oh I’m sorry are we keeping you from laying on your couch and listening to Nirvana?» Also, our waitress was pretty moody too. I promise we were acting very nice and normal too… not causing a problem. Maybe they just offer really bad employee benefits.

This is THE comedy club to see comics at in WI! They don’t shy away from edgier comics like other clubs I’ve been to in the past. There is a diner below if you feel so inclined to eat before laughing. Standard comedy club seating: small table with chairs… you will be in an intimate setting with strangers so don’t try to rock back and put your feet up. 2 drink minimum. The backdrop wall mural skyline painting behind the comics doesn’t bother me. I’ve seen others that have. My only complaint is being located in Appleton and I have to drive from Milwaukee. Aside from that, thanks for being an upstanding comedy club.

When living in the Appleton area I frequented the Skyline. They are able to secure some of the best comedians in the country. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are delicious. The club is very intimate and that is what I enjoy about it. I now live in Atlanta and wish that we had a great comedy club near us. I always knew that Skyline was great, but did not truly appreciate it until I moved away. Every time I am back in town I make sure to catch a show at the Skyline and a great beer downstairs at the Stone Cellar.

My husband and I have been going to Skyline for years, and have seen some of the biggest and best names in comedy there. (Larry the cable guy, LIsa Lampenelli, TJ Miller, Chinaman, Etta May, Greg Hahn, Ryan Stout, etc…) The waitstaff is always fantastic, and the drinks are awesome!!! Yes, you have to take a cramped elevator for 2 whole stories (wow!) but the history, the talent and atmosphere are worth it!!!
We have been to the ‘other’ comedy club the Comedy Quarter and both times we got to sit and look at the side of the comedians head. Very disappointing sitting arrangement there. Would not recommend!!! Unless you prefer *not* to see the comedians expressions… which personally is my favorite part!!! Plus, the talent they get there is just «ok» rarely do I see anyone that I «have» to see. We wanted to see Steve-​O but when we called and asked if there were good seats left in VIP where we would not have to stare at the back of his head… we were given the run around and they told us they could not guarantee anything. Thanks I will save my $ 32 for some where a little more accommodating. One thing I will say I DO like about Comedy Quarter… is that you can order from a full menu.
I do not have any affiliation with either club, I don’t have friends that work at either, I am just a avid comedy club go-​er that wanted to give her honest 2 cents.

Came here with a bunch of friends for the Doug Benson show, and I really enjoyed it. The club itself is a bit small, but cozy. The seat are very close together, so if you’re sitting behind a tall dude, be prepared for a sore neck. That was the only thing I had a problem with there. Drinks were good, but pricey, as they are anywhere with a 2 drink minimum.
Otherwise, it was a nice club, we had a nice time, and I would definitely go there again!

nice setup and pretty well run place that gets decent comics, not bad for Appleton.

The comics were pretty funny. I’ve seen worse on comedy central. As a gay man there was a very distasteful gay joke one of the comedians told, which got a well deserved ‘booooo’ from me. I am not shy about making my feelings known. The drinks were over priced, comedy club I get it okay, but they were mediocre at best. Nothing special. One drink the waitress recommended to a friend who was with, was pretty terrible. She did take it back and it was not on the bill. The drinks were definitely too strong. Which is just as bad as not enough alcohol either. The waitress was good, attentive and very friendly though. She did her job very well.
