Pulse Lounge

This review is for the Funny Friday Comedy show. I did not order any food.
I’ve been to Pulse twice. Once about a year ago, I attended a concert (Musiq/​Avant) that was «powered by Timothy Gaston» and the afterparty was held at Pulse. With your ticket stub, there was not a cover charge. We didn’t stay long, but the club was clean.
On my second visit, my husband and I decided to check out the Funny Friday comedy set featuring Scruncho (he’s been in movies and was featured on BET’s Comic View. We were disappointed to learn the tickets were $ 20 instead of $ 10. Apparently, it is $ 10 most nights. However, when the headliner has name recognition, the price is $ 20. By the time we made this discovery, we were already there and decided we’d pay.
There were three warm-​up comedians that started around 8:40pm. Doors open at 8 and the first show is at 8:30. The doors open at 10:30 for the 11:00pm show. Prior to the comedians, there was a DJ playing 90s and current tunes. It was a nice touch. The host is Chesnutt, a Memphis native who is quite the funnyman. Two other guys did 5 minute sets. The main act came out, and Scruncho is funny. I found myself slapping the table in hysterics. I’m sorry, but I do not recall the length of his set. All I can tell you is that he really interacted with the crowd, kept us laughing, and put on roller skates and showed his rink skills before thanking the crowd for coming out.
While this is a small venue, it is clean and comfortable. It is not fancy, but it is a nice spot to come and have a laugh. We’re going again to see Bruh Man (of Martin show fame). Perhaps we will have some food and I’ll let you know if it is tasty.
This place is really being slept on. For the early show, they weren’t full. And Scruncho gave a great show in spite of the small crowd. If you want to support a small local business that is interested in making a good impression (they gave early show attendees free passes for the next week’s early show) and making you laugh til it hurts, see you next Friday.

Never visit this lounge it has a messed up staff and messed up owner! they are full of promises that they don’t keep! suck drinks and outrageous prices! not a place for drinkers and smokers! you have a fee every time you come in the building! atmosphere sucks too violent. if you want to have fun never visit the pulse lounge!
