First time attending an event held at a local watering hole. Fun to see national touring comedians performing in small intimate unique settings.

"Holy sh*t! The Secret Society shows have been great... Mark Normand was a wild get for a drop-in. Then the headliner... had never heard of him... came up after Normand and just killed!"

Why different venues?Just like live comedy, no two Secret Society Comedy nights are quite the same! Each show is an opportunity for us to showcase everything that Cleveland has to offer. Expect the unexpected; each performance has a different vibe, different drink options, and a different menu.
