Heike and I went to see DL Hughley last week. Being relatively new to Birmingham, AL, we weren't sure how parking would be. However, we were confident DL would be more than just funny. GOT DAMN, if this Man is not the Truth, then it's all a LIE!!! We caught the late show, and DL tore the roof off the place! Heike is German so you really have to come with it to get her to even half-ass chuckle; He had her ass rolling on the floor laughing her ass off. I wasn't excepting it for the late show to be honest, but he really is one of the funniest people living. He is just fucking funny. He was calling people out on the fly with a natural gift to have you laugh at your damn self. Heike wasn't sure she would enjoy the show, but is now this man's fan. If you need a really good night out to laugh your ass off, you need to find out where this Man is performing. He's one of the only guy's I'll pay good money to go see. I really didn't pay enough to see this Man perform; he's the Truth!

Preface: This review really doesn't pertain to the comic- she was very funny! Parking: kinda tricky in between shows. As soon as we found a parking spot across the street, several spots opened up in the actual lot. Might want to circle the parking lot for a closer spot just in case. Lobby Wait time: longer than expected Minimum: Every person must purchase $5...which is quite easy to accomplish with one menu item Complaint(s): My beverage came out correctly in a timely manner. However, my chicken finger basket, came out incorrect the first time, the second time the manager brought it out and it was incorrect again, finally the third time was a charm. Several people at our table asked for waters and those took 30-45 minutes to arrive. To add injury to insult when it was time to check out, my ticket was incorrect- after that was fixed, I gave my card along with other tickets/cards, our server returned, I left a tip and went on my merry way. The next morning something told me to check my account and I noticed that I had been charged over $130 from the neighboring table. DISAPPOINTED. I returned to stardome with documentation of the mistake and though the manager apologized and admitted to the mistake last night...I was not informed. Apparently the mistake was noted as I was being charged; however, the server was slack and did not mention anything to me, no apology, no...hey, this is what you can expect...no common courtesy! How horrible?! I can understand the mistake; however, it was irresponsible, disrespectful and rude to not own up to a mistake made with consumers monies. *I would strongly advise paying with cash if you anticipate enjoying a night of laughter....after all playing with OPP is not a laughing matter.

Last night I made a return to the Stardome Comedy Club after an extended absence... I have always had good experiences through the years and really don't know why I have not been in years. But, this venue is well known for attracting the best comics in the industry. The theater is rather small, which gives an intimate, close up view of the performer on stage. As others have noted they do pack people in tightly so, be prepared to be close to your neighbors. But, the view of the stage is good anywhere, the lighting and sound systems are top notch. The food is uninspiring and bland. 2 steps below what you would find at any generic sports bar anywhere. But, in reality this is NOT where you go for a great (or even good) meal. We can a combo platter with chicken fingers, wings, fries and Onion Rings ($18) which was fine...Some have complained about the servers, but to me, they were doing a pretty good job if you consider the cramped quarters and the time constraints of getting everything done during a live performance. Last night's performer was Craig Shoemaker AKA "The LoveMaster". He performed for 2 hours of full speed comedy genius. We laughed so hard that we were exhausted when the show was over. Laughter is good medicine!! I'd say to my fellow Yelper's, don't forget about this bright spot in Birmingham's entertainment community. I know I won't!!

We have visited the Stardome many many times, seen: Sinbad Chris Tucker Shawn Jones and many many more. The staff is very nice, always helpful, the club is very consistent in their operations. Clean restrooms. Drinks and food delivered fast. (First round is always a little slow but that is expected) Some recent positive changes: Forced Gratuity has been eliminated off the check. Things I would change: Don't force customers to buy tickets in pairs. I brought 3 people and had to pay for 4 seats. Not cool. The new DJ/Video DJ plays music so loud you can't talk across the table during the pre-show. Still overall a five star experience.

Checked out Sheryl Underwood (Cheryl??) on Classic Weekend. This chic was HElarious! Money well spent - $28 bucks. The club itself it a bit cramped. Get there EARLY to ensure you have the best selection of seating at your 'reserved' table. If you're the last ones to arrive at your table of 6...you might be in the back, or unable to sit with each other. I'd suggest 40 minutes before your show starts.

I have been to the comedy club plenty of times over the years and I will say that they do bring in some of the best acts around the country but heck.....they they only comedy club in the city. My 1st issue are that the facilities need upgrading like one person said. The stage looks raggidy and the screens are dull. 2nd issue is the food is horrible. I suggest grab something before you go and that leads to the 3rd thing to where the service is slow. We waited over an hour for 2 beers and a speciality drink. The acts are the only reason I go. I suggest you eat and drink before you go.

Went to stardom after a long time....this place is deteriorating beyond comparison. They've somehow got it in their mind that service, food, and shows can be completely disengaged from todays's reality. So here is the breakdown 1. They don't serve water In a glass. You have to buy a water bottle. Bad for environment and they think people are dumb enough to pay for it. Their waitresses are rude because they think they are doing us a favor by serving. Basically, with this they are promoting that paying for beer or alcohol drink is going to give you bigger bang for your buck and oh yeah, and if you don't want to drive home drunk. Pay for water that is abundantly available out of tap. Well, rest ,I will leave it up to your imagination. 2. Food is so greasy no wonder comedians who come to birmingham make fun of people being fat , unhealthy and uneducated. Trying to eat healthy in this place is gonna to cost you more than two tubs of cheese fries. I paid $10 for a 'Dome Salad' that had lettuce, few strings of onions and crispy fried strings. Topped with god knows how much ranch. WTF? Once again, do they think people are too dumb to come back again and order this. Their hummus dip was tasteless and so called pita bread was hard and not cooked thoroughly. 3. They are still promoting themselves as place to be. This place probably hasn't been re-imagined since 80's. Videos are stale and screens are cracked. The stage is worn out, with bits are flying off when a performer walks on it. My idea of this review is to promote better environment. Fix stuff, treat people better and have healthy options for food. AND stopping selling water bottles , the environment you are part of and people who come both will benefit from it. Who the hell came up with that idea? Are you all suffering that much that you are now 'selling' water. Shame in you Stardome!!!! The little choices like these reflect your character as business!

Prior to a recent (last night) visit to the Stardome Comedy Club, it'd been years since I last set foot in the place, or even considered it an option for entertainment in the city. But, my wife's birthday provided us with the opportunity to cap free tickets, so we grabbed a few friends and headed out for some laughs. The Stardome is a breath of fresh air in Birmingham, in the midst of the typical entertainment/time-passing activities - eating, shopping, movies - and does pretty well to host some pretty entertaining and moderately well-known comedians from time to time (e.g., Wendy Liebman, Mitch Hedberg (RIP), to name a couple). The club itself is rather cozy, in the sense that they essentially try to shove as many bodies in the place as 'tetrisally'-possible. (If you have a problem with people, claustrophobia, or random waiters/waitresses falling in your lap, going through your pockets, or brushing up against your eyelashes, this might not be the venue for you. lol) The best way I can describe it would be to think back (for those of you old enough) to the "I Love Lucy" show, and specifically those episodes in which Ricky was performing with the band live. Notice the way in which the band is seated - two columns of row after row, with a walking path down the middle; that's pretty much Stardome, but with an elevated stage, lights, and a very effective sound system (no problems there). On a typical night, the "event" consists of an emcee to get the crowd loose and inform them of upcoming events, a feature act to really get the crowd going and entrees and drinks moving), and then finally the headliner/person everyone came to really see. Some of the performers will sometimes show up after the show outside the main doors, to say thanks for coming or pass along wares related to them, the act, or possibly even charities/organizations they might be sponsoring. But there's always a pretty good chance once the show's over, it's a wrap. It all depends on the performer. (Last night's headliner was Paul Hooper ( paulhoopercomedy.com ), and he was hilariously-random; and he even took the time to come out afterwards and chatted up various attendees including myself and friends. Check him out ---) Like I briefly mentioned above, Stardome does serve food and drinks which are not exactly 5-star, but basically what you'd expect in a nightclub/bar-type environment; typical fare - wings, chicken fingers, small appetizers (nachos, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms), etc. (I can't speak for the stronger libations, although the people laughing hysterically always seem to be enjoying them. lol) And the prices are about what you'd expect at, say, a TGI Fridays or something equivalent, so no worries about breaking the bank during a fun night outing. So, blah blah blah - Stardome is a cool little place slightly hidden in Hoover, where you can go and enjoy a laugh or several with some friends and strangers, and do something a-typical for a change. It beats paying $9+ for yet another movie... :) Check stardome.com for info about upcoming events/performers.

Where else could you be in the company of names such as"Shang and Pierre",(love this one).."Killer Beaz", AND "Earthquake"? Nope, not a wrestling match..a comedy club. Actually, it was pretty cool. The food is affordable, and the price of drinks won't cause you to live on rice and beans for the rest of the week. Our party consisted of 11 people...hungry, thirsty, and out for a good laugh!! We had quite a chuckle. One fellow worth mentioning is Earl...very laid back, and had me throwing my head back, and holding my sides!! He had some great material. There was a John Austin, also,..... very funny, maybe a little crude, a little loud, but had some great stuff. Other then one of our little troop putting her fingers in her ears for the majority of the evening...I must say a good time was had by all!!! Will definitely go back....minus the ear plugger!!!!

On Thursday night, my wife and I went to the Stardome to see John Caparulo. Having just gotten off work, we decided to eat our supper at Stardome. Stardome has a policy that in addition to buying admission to see the show, each person has to spend a minimum of $5.00. In past excursions to the Comedy Club, my wife and I have tried drinks, desserts, and appetizers (e.g., Snack Attack) to meet (read: exceed) our minimum. On Thursday, we opted for a regular meal: cheeseburger, fries, and drink. We got to the Stardome about 7:15, and we ordered our meals a few minutes after sitting down. The food arrived less than 10 minutes later, which was very quick - even for Stardome. As a previous reviewer said, this is standard nightclub/bar food, and I would go as far to say that the Mac's 1 Stop cheeseburger beats the Stardome [bacon] cheeseburger (yes, I just said that a "plain" cheeseburger beats a bacon cheeseburger) for flavor and juiciness. However, the Stardome's fried crinkle-cut French fries saved the meal. If you are going to the Stardome for a show, feel free to try the drinks, desserts, and appetizers. For the money, the cheeseburger and fries are probably the best use of your $5.00 minimum, though.

My only comment is: Is it not a fire hazard to be cramped up in there? Don't take a date in there that has a pot-belly or who's 6ft tall. They won't make it! Other than that, it's great. Make sure you're a little person. If you're clostraphobic, don't go there. When I saw David Allen Grier, they oversold the tickets and had to make a table behind the stage!! My back was up against the brooms and dust pans.
