Stress Factory Comedy Club

Great shows. Food is pretty good. Tables are small and tight but its worth it to see a good show at good prices. I dont even mind rubbing up on strangers to get to my seat. 😆 When the show is over go next door for an Italian margarita.

We had a good time here for a show. The only thing I find completely absurd is squeezing in 6 adults at a table top thats made for 4. It felt extremely claustrophobic. I get you want to pack the crowd up for the guest, but you also have to keep in mind the customer thats coming to have a good time. The staff was great, the atmosphere was great, I just wish there was a little more space.

Had such a great time with my wife. We laughed through the entire show. Great atmosphere. Great service. Always a great time at the Stress Factory. If you want to get away for a few hours and laugh I recommend you come here.

First time attending Stress Factory but it was a great venue! Reasonably priced food and drinks. My waiter, Liam, was attentive and very helpful. CASEY ROCKET was incredible! All of his openers were hilarious. Will definitely be back in the future :)

Great set up... the space is large but feels intimate.. good views of the stage all around. Service was great, apps and drinks were fine.. nothing amazing, but nice. I am looking forward to visiting this spot again for an upcoming comedy show.

Had a blast seeing Jason Cheny with friends and family for my birthday. The food and service were both good and the venue is pretty cool. I would definitely go back again. It was exciting to be in a place where so many famous comedians have performed before.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful towards me and my friend. Our waiter was very nice and joked with us a bit while also checking in on us often to make sure we had enough food/drinks during the show. The atmosphere was very nice, obviously loud before the show but nothing too bad. The show itself was hilarious. Everything was very organized and kept track of which was very reassuring. This place is a bit pricey, but worth it for the experience.

We love it here. Food is solid and not outrageously priced considering its a venue. Drinks are a bit pricey, but they gotta make their money somewhere. Its a smaller club, and can be rather tightly packed, but we havent had a bad show yet. We have probably gone atleast 6 or 7 times now, and have had a fantastic night each time. I do wish there was a little more room (Im very tall), but it definitely could be worse.

Had a blast, just what I needed on a Thursday night! Some belly-rolling laughter!Drinks are average price, tips are added on, and service was great. We had a sampler of appetizers.If you get cold quickly bring a jacket, the air-conditioning works great!

The Stress Factory Comedy Club in New Brunswick is a great venue to check out comedians. There is a full bar and a bunch of good choices for food. We were there on a Wednesday night, and there was a pretty good crowd. The comedians were really good (including Jeff Norris and Chris Covert the night we were there). There is quite a bit of seating all around. The bathrooms were clean too. There is a large outdoor area where they host some of their events too. Its conveniently located very close to a garage for parking. Definitely a great time, Im sure well be back again!

Paid parking is next door to the place if you cant find street parking. Steakhouse across the street Deltas not for either if you want a bite before or after the show. A bit crowded for the space, but ok. The bathroom was very clean. The servers were busy but still took great care of us. The drinks were good, but the wings were not good to me. Very dry, even with the Buffalo sauce. Very good experience will definitely go again.

I HAD A BALL AT THE STRESS FACTORY!!I was the host for My Cousin Tiera and we shut the place down on a Wednesday night!! The staff is great, the food is good. Cant wait to come back

First time coming here and has a great time. Night started with comedian, Stuart and main act was Maddie Smith from Wild-n-Out. Both were awesome and funny as hell. The food was good, had the hummus and curly fries, everyone else had wings and they said they were good and crispy. Out waitress’ name was Maddie and she was great. Very attentive and kept checking on us to make sure everything was good. We met the owner Vinnie Brand and he was cool. Would definitely come back….

Stress Factory was amazing, Believe me if your going through something go there for the comedy show and you will forget what was on your mind. My family and I loved it. Great People

This place is legit. The food was surprisingly awesome. Our weather was responsive and came to check on us often. Martin Amini was very funny. Altogether great show in a nice spot. Wish it was closer to home so we could come more often!

Nice venue. I appreciated the outdoor tent with heaters in order to be safer in these Covid times. Their comics were great - especially Adam Mamawalla. Their food was also good, but they could do with some more variety - especially on the healthier side of things. Their wings could also use a little less dressing. It felt I was eating bbq sauce with a little chichen. Overall I liked it for comedy. I would go back.

Had a blast & lots of laughs for my daughters birthday celebration at this comedy club! Headliner was fabulous and the other comedians were great too!!

Overall great Comedy Club. The set up, the atmosphere is very on par. Every act I have seen was not a disappointment. Easy parking right next door. The owner - Funny! Wait staff was spectacular. The reason for the missing star is the food and drinks. I get it, its a comedy club not a restaurant, so next time I will eat before or after. However, my whole group was not happy with the food ordered at our six top. The only saving grace was the flat bread. Also the LIT was 90% sour mix. Was not enjoyed and no buzz! lol In the end I will be back!

Wow what an experience! I just saw Tom Green and I was wowed by not only his tremendous showmanship, but also by the professionalism of the staff and management! If you’re lucky enough to visit The Stress Factory, ask for Peter to be your server! He’s a hoot 🦉! Try the burger! Awesome night! Bailey was also good! Jay at the door is so friendly!

5 stars arent enough to visibly show the amazing service I received from Management, especially Patty, and the servers during my first (not last, for certain) time at this wonderful Comedy Club! My first telephone conversation with Patty was so helpful and reassuring as I had questions regarding accessibility for my Husband. Her response and description of the venue were both very clear and she reassured me immediately. She told me that if I needed anything else to let her know. I am so very glad that I got to meet her at the Ian Bagg show last night so I could put a face to her voice and thank her in person. The venue itself is charming and so comfortable. It was only my second time in a Comedy Club in my 56+ years and it definitely was the best! My server was so wonderful and friendly. The opening act, John Wynn, was hilarious and the headliner, Ian Bagg was top notch as always! Our seats right up front were perfect. Getting to hear kind words from owner, Vinnie afterwards (and to shake his hand and thank him) were touching. It was all around a PERFECT night and after 2 1/2 years of stress post my husbands stroke, it was so refreshing! Its also our 12th Wedding Anniversary month so that made last nights experience all the more wonderful! Thank you times Infinity, Stress Factory, you took every ounce of MY stress away!!!

Apparently the blue raffle ticket they give you after you pay is the only way to exit. 18% gratuities automatically added plus we tipped extra to be just chased around outside because we dropped the blue ticket in the pitch black hole. Is this 1982 or 2024? Why no receipt as proof of payment? This has to be a tax scam for the establishment owner. Also, not sure how the city allows them to pack you in like sardines..it’s so bad you can’t even pull out your chair or walk through to stand up so many people packed in chair to chair. My 2 seats were not cheap, I was basically sitting under a corner tv, stuck in between the wall and floor speaker. The table and menus when you touch them are so sticky you would think the put glue on your hands 🤢.. The food is not cheap either and will automatically add the gratuity like I stated above. worst of all, the blue looking raffle ticket is left on your table with no instructions how to leave this smelly dark fire hazard dungeon. ⚠️ Avoid this place

Had an absolute blast last night. Walked in the door, got roasted by who I thought was head of security. Ended up hanging out with him for about an hour after show at the bar next door. Turns out he was the owner. Such a down to earth humble & hilarious guy. The club itself has a very intimate setting. Server Maddy (sorry if I got the name wrong, I was drinking) was amazing and on the ball. 10/10 cannot recommend highly enough. I will be back soon!

Stress Factory is my place! We go see a lot of shows there. We were just there to see Maddy Smith. Its always a pleasant time, they always have great comedians coming to preform. Never leave unsatisfied. My stomach always hurts from laughing so hard. Vinnie is always so happy to see his guests. Hes such a wonderful person. Always so accommodating. Really recommend this place for a number of things. But its always the best date night for us!

A pretty terrible experience at the Stress Factory last Saturday at the T.K. Kirkland 7PM show. First, when we showed up around 6:30PM, they had a DJ playing terrible music insanely loudly. It was so painfully loud that it was completely impossible to speak to someone even sitting right next to you. I knew I was trying to speak, but I could not even hear my own words. Awful. Is this a comedy club or a dance club? Why have a DJ playing terrible music so ridiculously loudly at a comedy club? So this totally ruined our experience to begin with. Second, while the MC was very good and super funny, the two comedians they had were not. The opener comedian was OK, but not all that funny. T.K. Kirkland was pretty awful. He had a few funny lines, but not many. He was also very hard to understand. Overall, we spent a little over $300 for 4 people for a really terrible experience.

Have been to Stress Factory several times over the years, Vinny and family run a first class establishment. Give your servers a tip on top of the included tip, they work HARD over there. I was a server there 20 years ago while a student at Rutgers, Vinny always treated us with respect and encouraged us to be the best we could be. My wife and I love heading back to New Brunswick and Stress Factory is always a must on the itinerary! Will be heading back tonight.

Great place for a night out/date night. The food was great. The comedic entertainment is good and the tickets were affordable...many popular comedians pass through on tour so it is good to keep up to date with their lineups. I would visit there again.

What an amazing fun time!! Went to see Alingon Mitra at the 9:30pm show. We spent some time at the new restaurant next door before the show. Everyone there and at the Stress Factory were incredibly nice and accommodating. Drinks were tasty. As was the ice cream and brownie dessert. Looking forward to another show.

Perfect environment for comedy! Had a great time there would definitely recommend. Food, Drinks and vibes were all good.

One of my go-to favorite places. This club sets the standard for comedy clubs in NJ. The comedians are always great and the food/drinks are very good. Highly recommend.

Comedy and vibes were awesome! Food was expensive from pricey add-ons for each item, makes sense to keep ticket prices low.

This was my first time at the Stress Factory. Tony Rock was the comedian, and he was awesome! Laughs on top of Laughs!! The owner of the Stress Factory was great as WELL! I will definitely be returning! 😊

We had a great time seeing Tony Rock last Saturday! Try and get there early because the parking garage right next to it fills up fast, and the traffic is that of the Rutgers university. Go RU!

Funny as hell. Loved the seating arrangement. Surprisingly large array of food. Waitress was fantastic. Remembered everyones name. Definitely visit again. Owner is hilarious. Great venue.

First visit to Stress Factory. The street parking is hard to find, however they are located next to a parking garage with plenty of available spots which was very affordable.We went to the new years eve show with Rocky Dale Davis and everything was perfect, from the organization of the event, the drink choices in the open bar, the quick service and the warm food buffet.Now, the comedy was the cherry on top. Boy did had a blast, Rocky Dale Davis was hilarious, but Vinnie Brand himself, who introduced the show and stepped in between comedians was just amazing. During the last few seconds before midnight they projected the NY countdown in all TVs and Vinnie brought his whole family to the stage. I was very surprised to see the amazing server who was helping us was actually Vinnies daughter!Will definitely be coming back more often, and looking forward to celebrating next new years eve here.

Went to a show tonight headlined by Vlad Caamano. Turns out the show was in mostly Spanish. That was not advertised anywhere, so we had no idea what the jokes were as we do not speak Spanish. Near the end of the show several women got up to leave and were confronted by the comedian. They said they do not speak Spanish and he proceded to attack them, not in a comedic way, but in an aggressive way. It was really uncomfortable. Bad experience both on the part of the venue and on the part of the comedian.

This place is Great! Check website for whos playing when, find your humor, then come to relax. Alot A tier comedians. Recently went to an upcoming comic from Georgia I see on IG . He was here !Food hot. Servers decent to good.Prices are medium on food&drink. But the drinks are good not cheap on the liquor.Owner Vinnie sometimes opens , funny man. Parking garage right next to place. Not sure whay else to put... worth the visit and Ive returned many times

I have been coming to the Stress Factory for a few years now and have always had a good time with friends and family but last night was a complete horror story.My party (3) and I arrived early for the second show to see Marlon Wayans so that we could get good seats only to be one of the LAST parties to be seated in the venue which was extremely frustrating. We watched everyone walk in before us, including those who arrived way after we did. Apparently we were supposed to check in at the door to receive a number/ticket to enter but there was no one there to greet us upon arrival or a sign stating that youd need to check in resulting in us receiving a high top table fit for someone who would have arrived late. There were other groups of people that arrived early who experienced the same issue.We were initially crammed at a small table with three other people but were then moved to a high top table near the kitchen/main entrance which ended up being super loud but there was nowhere else we could sit because it was packed so we just let it go and tried to enjoy the night.My friend placed her initial order at our original table but did not receive her food at the table we were moved to until almost an hour and a half into the show. All she ordered was mozzarella sticks and fries which shouldnt have taken that long to be made. These are premade items which takes minutes to drop in a fryer.We tried talking to various staff members to see if someone would make things right but everyone was so rude especially the older woman with the sandy blonde hair. She was a complete nightmare and just overall difficult to deal with. My friend explained the situation about there not being a greeter at the front to check people in and about the cold fried food that took hours to come out and all she could say was but you ate it right? Like seriously? Why would you speak to a paying customer that way? After waiting forever to be seated, the least we could get is hot food. She ended up walking away because I assume she got annoyed only to return to the table to walk away again not resolving ANY of the issues. Just blatant disrespect.The customer service was severely lacking tonight. Stress Factory, DO BETTER!

Edited review response***I appreciate the owners prompt reply. His professionalism, in his response, displays why they are one of the top comic venues out here. I will suggest that no holds take place if possible and/or inform the staff to be more transparent with the hold and possibly hold a lesser amount. I dont believe $200 is warranted for a comic venue.Prior review****This rating is solely for awareness regarding the card hold requirement now. Ive come here numerous times, and a card was never required to open a tab when attending a show. My friend put her card, but the waitress neglected to divulge a $200 hold would be put on the card. 1. This is a comedy show, not a hotel stay. 2. Why isnt staff or signs stating this supposed new requirement? 3. If you have to close out your tab before the show ends AND have to submit a paid tkt stub upon exit, WHY is a card hold needed. I dont like dubious practices. Aside from this recent occurrence, Ive always enjoyed the shows and staff there.

Upon arrival staff was very nice. The Stress Factory is definitely a good place for a night out or date night. The overall service was great. I attended the 3/26 Desi Banks show. I had a great time. The owner Vinnie was super funny. He is definitely invited to the family cookouts lol.

Absolutely loved the TK show! The owner is hilarious. Friendly, laid back, classy adult fun. The drinks were done right.

Great time at the Stress Factory. Goumba Johnny was fun to watch, and Anthony Rodia killed. Also, I dont remember the name of the hostess, but she was sweet and gave my wife and I tickets for another show, due to the noise around us. Food and entertainment was great. I wish I knew the hostess name, she deserves a shout out.

Had the most awesome time last Night at club! 1st have to say that the entire staff is amazing! We got there super early for late show and it was freezing outside. Patty theManager was so sweet. She brought us next door to the restaurant that the club just bought and got us set up with the staff to relax, stay warm while we waited. The restaurant is under renovation, but still serving food and drinks. ( will definitely going back before our next show ),Patty escorted others over as they showed up until it was time to enter our show. While talking to Patty ,i mentioned we were there celebrating my boyfriends birthday. We were lucky and were sat up front.The show was great! Vinny was Hysterical!!! What a way to start a show! I was crying, laughing so hard! Im sorry but I dont remember the name of the guest comedian that came on and did a small set, but he was great! Then Tyler came on and again great set! Gastor Almonte was headliner. We laughed and laughed! It has been such a longtime since we have been to a comedy club, and after last night we have already made plans to go back next month! We had that much fun! Also want to shout out to our server. I dont remember her name, but she was also great. Fast with drinks and kept coming back to make sure you didnt need anything. Such a great, fun night! Cant wait to go to next show!

If you want to see a good show in a great environment then this is your place. I went like 13 years ago and had a great time. And I went again a few months ago and had an even better time. Saw Kevin Nealon this last time and he was hilarious. The owner of the club is at all the shows I think and he is funny laid back guy it seems. It is a definite highlight of you are in New Brunswick.

We was looking for something for New Years evening. Not dressy or outrageously expensive. Do to the good reviews we decided for this place. It was nice, the comedians entertaining and funny. The place was packed, for my taste to much, so I was uncomfortable on the high chair. The food buffet was very tasty but we left hungry. Out waiter was outstanding and refilled us from the open bar all night long. We would go again, but on a regular day when its hopefully not so packed. We had fun

Been there few times. Best time was when I met Chris Rock . His security moved up at me . He said it cool. Dont beat em. I told him My Father , who passed , John S Anderson of Plainfield NJ was a huge fan of his .I came there that night to see him cause My Dad and I watched his show Bring the Pain so many times together. I told him how my father died from injuries due to terrible car accident . My Dad lasted 20 days in the hospital before we had to finally let him go. He was like Im so sorry to hear that. Im glad I could make you guys laugh. Gave me handshake quick hug abc Ill never forget his thoughtfulness that night.Love you Chris hope to see you again one day if you ever back at Stress Factory in New Brunswick NJ

Great show, with Leslie Liao as headliner. And our server, Maddie, was unstoppable. Warm, friendly, high energy. Had a great night. Go to Victoria’s next door for dinner beforehand and they’ll save you a good table at Stress Factory

Have to agree with you Larry P.... I think that was an aweful night for the comedian Vlad (07/20/24) to act this way and the Stress Factory to let it go... hmmm. I feel bad for the table with the ladies, I dont think they understood spanish as well... the comedian should really share his thoughts in english instead of spanish in a case like this. It should not have gone as long as he took it. I sure hope the Stress factory puts in their opinion on this.

Nice place. But the payment process could be more transparent. The waitress doesnt show you your itemized bill. Doesnt mention that gratuity is included in the price. No one apologized (waitress or manager) when I waited to get my 20% tip back that I added on top of the 18% tip already included, unbeknownst to me.

We went to see Alingon Mitra at the 7pm show and we had such a great time! Staff were super nice and the menu options were pretty good. We ordered cocktails and a Margherita flatbread and both were tasty. However, the drinks were a bit on the expensive side in my opinion. Would definitely visit again!

Must visit place in NJ! Super hosts and amazing atmosphere! We had some ticket challenge on our end and hosts were so accommodating, figuring out a solution for us. Highly recommended and We will be coming back here soon

I was just at Stress Factory Comedy Club this weekend and had the time of my life. My Wife and 1 and two friends went to see Martin Amini. First off the our waitress was great. She was very attentive even with a sold out crowd. She was always coming by to check on us o see if we needed anything else. The food was good. It was basically bar food like burgers, wings, flatbread, etc. The opening acts were really funny and a great introduction to the show. I also loved how the stress factory had a video on the board if the audience Pre show and was doing stuff like kiss cam and making fun of some audience members. Martin Amini was awesome! He performed all original jokes. No repeats from tiktok or social media and that honestly made the night that much better. We met him after the show and he was super friendly. He took a picture with us afterwards. I will definitely be back to this comedy club again.

Great comedians, diverse group and Great food. Drinks seemed watered down bur the customer service was amazing, welcoming and inviting.

Friendly, Warm, Clean, Fun and Safe Atmosphere !!! Absolutely Loved It !!!! I think they will attract more Customers if they appeal or market to the Military Community - Fort Dix- US. ARMY Base and Mcguire Air Force Base.

We had such a great time here for my best friends birthday last Saturday!! Tony Rock was amazing, and the hoast was funny, too!

First off let me say Damon Waynes was great. He had me cracking up. Five stars for his performance. Ok so let me get into the rest of my experience. One of the girls arranged for a group of us to get tickets to see Damon Waynes. It came to about $55. When we arrived I found parking on the street. When we got there the other show wasnt done so they had the 9pm show audience sit under a hot tent until the other show let out. They gave us a number, 1-55, and literally called each number to let everyone in. After about 20 minutes we got in and got some decent seats. Our server was Paige and she wasnt as attentive as we would have liked. She was really nice but there was a time she disappeared for a while before we got her to come back to our table. I ordered sangria and red wine. There was a two item order minimum. The sangria was like juice. It came to about $18 including gratuity. Besides those issues the show was funny and I had a decent experience.

I love it. Several individuals talk every time I go here. The comedians have to stop and address them. Otherwise, the food is great and the comedians are funny.

Great local night out. Drinks, okay food, they do have a restaurant upstairs but I haven’t tried it yet. Typically easy to park in the lot next door for $10.

The food was great, the comedians were awesome, and I cant wait to come back to see more 😀 🙌 😍 😊 😄 😁

We went to stress factory last night to see the hilarious D.L. Hughley and had an amazing time. It started with the owner/MC Vinnie Brand doing crowd work and continued to two opening acts. This place is such a wonderful value. We laughed for hours, had great drinks, and a had lovely server. After the show, the owner went around, introduced himself and took photos with us. This is the type of place that puts energy into making you feel special and has done so for 30 years. The experience is always consistent. Buy tickets. Now.

Been coming for decades. The night I was there the DJ music before the show was way to loud. Otherwise I hope I can keep coming back for a few more decades.

Great shows, good vibes but watch out for unauthorized charges. The waitress charged my card $200, luckily my bank declined it!

Vinnie is an awesome host! The place is great, especially for a comedy club. The bathroom is very clean and so are the tables and floors(funny but its true, Ive got to mention this).Tbh the food is adequate ish maybe... But the waitress was awesome, told her I was diabetic and she checked on me enough and that was really nice-very much appreciate her coming back to check-in.I saw Leslie Liao and that was great! She made my week on this singles night I had for myself.PS.please go here if youre single, and have a great sense of humor. You might get to be part of the whole show like I did and laugh your lungs off.PPS.I think Victorias Tratta Italiano was opened by Vinnie Brand so I think you get a perk off you go after the show.

Love this place. Saw Zarna Ghargost recently and it was a great time. Highly recommend for date night, couples night out, and/or ladies night out. The food is quite good and the drinks are nice as well. The wait staff gets really busy and sometimes food and beverages take a bit longer than desired but overall the staff is nice and the service is good.

Great food for a comedy club. Great drinks. Great service. And of course the GOAT....Dave Attell

Easy entrance. Decent show. We didnt go to see a special performer. It was a family get together & we were all seated together. So the performers were fine. The staff was excellent. The burger not so great. My cousins seemed to enjoy their food ok. It was comedy club food. The prices were reasonable. The only things I didnt like were you had to pay a fee when ordering tickets online. It was about $15 more for the 2 of us & in New Brunswick, which I was expecting, we had to pay for parking in a garage and thats a given in New Brunswick unless you are very lucky. Basically, we had some fun and family time.

Excellent New Years party. Vinny definitely did a good job putting his party together.... He gave me a little scare at the door telling me I was cheap and Im going to be sitting outside. His daughter did an excellent job. It was eight of us this year. Next year will definitely 20 to 30 people will be attending.

Had a great time tonight. Our waitress (Maddie) was working her behind off. Bathrooms, table and chairs were clean. Here are some tips for your experience to be more enjoyable:A. 18% tips were automatically included in our checks. There was a sign somewhere. When we were given the credit card machine to pay, it asks for another tips. We did not know that the tips were already included, and added another tips. I would say for my experience, the waitress well deserves it.B. If your show is at 7, come at 5:30 (when the doors are first open), order your food, eat and use the bathroom before the show starts. There will be a line for the bathroom after the showC. The VIP seats are closer to the stage so you’re not interrupted by the servers walking. It may or may not be worth it for you because sitting up front does put you on the comedian’s radar.D. The food prices are very affordable even though they have a two-item minimal policy per person. But, if you split a check at your table, make sure you ask to see the detailed list. Our waitress got the split wrong by one bottle of water. No biggie.E. Alcoholic Drinks are on the sweet side.

The outdoor setup is phenomenal. Im glad these guys are still putting on shows. The servers are very friendly and attentive. The food and cocktails are very average, but lets face it, youre not going to a comedy club for the food. Will definitely return.

We took our neice and her husband to see Justin Silva for their Christmas gift. Justin Silva definitely didnt disappoint. He and his opening act were great.

Went to see Schuler King and he didnt disappoint! The venue is a decent size however sets are normally sold out so the place gets packed quickly. Defiently arrive early so you get good seats!Food and drinks arrived quickly. Order the Improv Group and wings for the table. Wings were wayyyyy too saucy.Parking and traffic in this area is crazy! A parking lot is next door, only a 2 minute walk, dont bother with on street parking.

My husband and I was going to land a beautiful night at the stress factory when they charged my husband credit card over and wouldnt give him his money back. Did not like that at all. Was not a good look Very unprofessional. My husband never got his money back and I dont think were going to travel there again. Ive told my people at work just to be careful when you do credit cards. Not a good look

Amazing experience here!!! Absolutely plan on coming back again. Only downside is it gets packed and you will be very close to each other.

Must come and enjoy the comedy and i will def be back on the regular. My wife bring me here for my B day and i had a great time...

I called Vinny, about the ticket and seating. He was extremely helpful, personable and kind. I am happy to go and its my first time,

Great place. Very good food. Not quick service but the comedy show are very crowded. The staff did a good job keeping up with keeping sure patrons are happy.

7/12/23 Darren Fleet was live!Awesome tasting food choices.

One of the best nights of comedy Ive ever experienced. Vinnie is an incredible opener not to mention the work he does with the club.Ian Lara and Mark Normand were at the top of their games. The club has a great energy to it. Cant wait to be back!

Been here multiple times in the past. Great spot in downtown New Brunswick. During the week you can catch open mic nights. There is a parking lot right next door if your not lucky to grab one of the few street parking spots in front. The food is so/so. I wouldnt grab a meal here just something to snack on during the show. The service is good but can be slow especially during packed shows. They do the best with what they have but could probably use more servers during those times.

Awesome place to visit. There isnt a bad seat in the house. Food was on point, staff was awesome and we had a blast. Parking is either next door or up the block not far from the venue. Definitely going to return for future shows.

We stopped here last night and Irene greeted us with such grace and welcomeness when we first walked in😊. We then ordered some drinks from our wonderful server Mackenzie and they were delicious. Such a nice environment and a great place to Laugh and distress. I’ll be back next week for some more fun✌️💕

Went to see #marlonwaynes live. Im glad the factory is open again. They did very well with social distancing and making me feel safe. I look forward to future shows. Marlon and Vinnie was hilarious!

My daughter and I went to see Darren Fleet and had an amazing night. His openers were really great, enjoy the female comedian! My only gripe was that we ordered food, and it took pretty much the entire night to get our order! They definitely need to work those kinks out, but otherwise, we really enjoy the venue. Everyone was super nice and accommodating.

I have never been to a comedy show. This was the 1st time I went out after the pandy to a place where there was a lot of people. I believe the show was sold out. The service was impressive and Impeccable. The food was surprisingly good, and the managers were even out to say hi and engage with the tables. They were strict with phones, but at least on that day, they didnt take anyones phones. A few people got too drunk, and the stress factory team escorted them out with kindness and regret they would miss the rest of the show. The checking in area, while raining that night, was done in such a quick and orderly manner. This is the longest review I think Ive ever posted, but Bryan Callen and Kevin Mac killed it. They were awesome. A great experience. DONT FORGET TO BRING YOUR CREDIT CARDS! I dont believe they took cash that night.

The comedy club is tucked in between buildings in central central New Brunswick. The seating is spacious and well layout.The menu is pretty standard pub food, but found that my burger and fries were pretty good.I found the host/owner quite annoying, and the main guest that night (Rodney Laney) a bit bland.All and all an okay place to spend an evening.

Great seats. Poor service. Was able to order drinks at the start, no follow up for more orders. Attempted to order food, got 1 servers attention, but he said he only did drinks. He said he would get our server. No one ever showed up. Had to ask for bill.

Omg my husband and I had so much fun. The comedians were awesome.. I would go every night if it wasnt 6 hrs away .lol thank you STRESS FACTORY!!!

This was our 3rd time here. Excellent venue. Very intimate setting as all the tables have great views and are close to the stage.Service is very good. Food is honestly and surprisingly good. You cant fail to have a good time!

We always have a good time at the Stress Factory. Of course, the quality of the performing comedians is a major factor, but weve been there 3 or 4 times, and the talent has always been great.The last couple times, we ordered dinner before the show started. I wasnt expecting a gourmet meal, but the food was surprisingly great. I had the Vinnys favorite pannini, and it was delicious! The grilled chicken was perfectly tender, and I loved the curly fries, too! My wife got sweet potato fries and they were a little on the mushy side, but that kind of potato is heavier, so thats normal.The wait staff is great and very friendly and helpful. However, we ordered a dessert later and it never came. No big deal. It was very crowded, so we didnt mind.With the big sell-out crowd, it got extremely noisy in there before the show started, so be aware of the noise if youre going to a sold-out show.

Been here a few times and every single time doesn’t disappoint. Always have a had a great time. Vinnie and his crew are great!!

Went to see DARREN FLEET perform there his opening act was a guy named, COLBY JACK both were funny,entertaining,the food,drinks,and ambience was great also along with great servers‼️….

Last night was my first time there. It was a great performance. great space for comedy. We would definitely be going back 🤙

We always have a blast here. Theres tons of celebrity comics to see. Our VIP seats were amazing! However if you dont pay extra for VIP there really isnt a bad seat in the place. Our waitress was attentive. I highly recommend going.

Saw the great Bob Marley there and stayed in town. Awesome wings. Good beers. Had to see the show in a tent but it was all good. Wish service during the show was better as I needed more booze.

Comedian Shuler king was the bomb! He was sooo good. Food was not good. Service was good atmosphere was good but chicken was dry and flavorless... would go again but eat before you go.

Had a great time here. It was an outdoor show but the audio was great and the heaters were throughout. I actually took my jacket off in 39 degree weather. Drink menu had a large selection.

Ive been here dozens of times since the early 2000s and have never had a negative experience. Great talent, Vinnie and staff work hard to make this place accommodating and a hidden NJ gem. Was glad to see some big names over the years like Jim Breur, Nick DiPaolo, Tracy Morgan, Andrew Dice Clay and just tonight Tom Green.Excellent date spot for friends or partners as well.

One of the best comedy clubs ever. Saw Troy Bond. After the show, we were hanging out at the bar next door and the owner (Vinnie) came over and sat and talked and laughed with us for over an hour. Real down to earth dude and hilarious too! Genuine ownership, great atmosphere and amazing comedians. I highly recommend this establishment.

I had a great evening full of laughs. Food was good, drinks were strong which I like. They have some Gluten free options which is always a plus in my circumstances. Definitely will be going back.

Great time with bartender Joe. Me and my lady had a blast great food fresh beer. Overall great convos and good vibes

Tight ship. The show was great but the venue is really, really nice. Without the tension or snootiness you might encounter in NYC. Maybe its because its spacious, maybe cuz the waiting staff are students. We were treated to a little show by b the owner, Vinnie Brand. The cocktails were good, the burger was tasty. Loved the whole experience.

Went with my boyfriend as well as two other couples for a date night. We had such a great time! The finger foods were a bit pricey but the drinks were strong! Will definitely be coming back!

The best comedy venue in Jersey. Dont hesitate to buy tickets for a good time!

As always a wonderful time. My husband and I always leave out in tears from laughing and cheeks hurting from smiling so hard. .. you dont always have to go far to have a great time and see a wonderful show with awesome people.. thanks as always for a great show .. cant wait for my birthday april 1st

Vlad was funny and so was the starting acts!! Will definitely go again!

Such a great show! Leslie Jones had me in tears!! This is the third time Ive been here. Always a great time!

Great comedy club right in the heart of New Brunswick. The talent they get here is just top notch.Yes there’s a two drink minimum but the table service is really good. Can’t comment about the food for I never ate there. But I never heard anyone complain about it.Vinny runs a great shop here. You are surely going to have a great time at the Stress Factory.

Nice comedy club. The food was decent for bar food, and they had an extensive drink list as well. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available on the menu. Staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend checking it out. Parking was convenient, the Church St garage was right next door, it was $10 to park for 3 hours. There were plenty of spots, even with a sold-out show.

Nikki Glaser Hilarious!! Andrew something hilarious! Staff was amazing. The food could have been better, particularly the mozzarella sticks. Tickets were only $20 and we ended up close to the stage with a good view!

Great experience and food. The comedians were hilarious and service was great

Stress Factory NEVER disappoints!!! Being originally from NYC we always feel we have the best of everything from pizza to hot dogs (both true!) Lol But when it comes to comedy Stress Factory keeps the laughs coming! Staff is friendly and attentive. The lineup is always on point! Drinks are good, I dont often eat, but when I do the food is fresh and hot. So save the trip to NYC and pop in to the Stress Factory, you wont be disappointed.

I went there to see Kev on Stage. The show was amazing - beyond funny.The place was packed. The food was good. It was an all around good time.Receiving the bill at the end was a little bit of a cluster and the poor waitress looked like she was near tears from the chaos of it all.I suggest figuring out a better way to handle payment of the check so people dont have to wait around.On the other hand, waiting for the bill did help with crowd control when time to leave. 🙃I would definitely go back.

Caught a fantastic evening of comedy at the Stress Factory with Tom Green as the headliner. A room full of laughter compliments of the master of ceremonies, Kevin Israel and Tom - everyone crushed. Fantastic hospitality - thanks to our hosts and Maddie! Wonderful to spend an evening in a room full of laughter.

Went to see Bill Bellamy on a girls night out . Had VIP table for 4 great seats. Place was packed. Been a fan of Bill Bellamy since the Peppermint lounge on central avenue in East Orange. We enjoyed the food served.

Super cool venue for comedy and an awesome food / drink menu. Not a bad seat in the house.

You owe it to yourself to a night of laughter, good food, and great drinks! Bring a group or go solo- you’ll always have a blast!

Stress Factory has some great headliner. I was here a few times, saw JoevTory, Tony Rock, and recently The famous EARTHQUAKE. I laughed so hard, I felt like I bust my chest open 🤣. The drinks were great and the appetizers was good.

Decent show that they put together last second due to Craig Robinson canceling. I love brick wall stages. Also, wasnt sure who Vinnie Brand was lol but figured it out toward the end

Amazing place. Best comedians. Youre gonna laugh until your cheeks hurt. The staff are all nice and the place is organized. I loved

Always love coming here, but the seating sucks(over crowded n not comfortable) and depending on where u end up it can be hard to hear the show.. not a volume issue. But the area has great restaurants, the shows are good, and the hosting is organized so in and out is a breeze.

The show was good, and their wings were pretty tasty!

Went to see Pete Correale it was a great show and I know he had a bad back that night but he definitely delivered!!! We had drinks and snacks. My only complaint would be we were grouped around a Pole and it was uncomfortable.

My first time and cant wait to come back. The owner is too sweet, the food and drink are delicious and the comedians are hysterical!

This place is incredible! The Staff were friendly and helpful. You could eat off the bathroom floors, it was so clean! Also the comedians were great too. Can’t wait to go back

My first visit, saw Tony Rock and it was an awesome experience. I will be back soon.

Lots of top shelf talent here as well as a chance for the up and coming people. Ive been here a few times and everytime is a great time. Love the small club atmosphere and its close to home. This is the best comedy club in the area by far. New Brunswick got some cool hotspots if you want to party after. Next door is cool 😉. Cant wait for the next time we go. Thanks Guys!

Had a great time here with their new outdoor setup. The waitresses worked very hard to accommodate everyone even though we were very far from the kitchen. We had a great time

Stress Factory is a fantastic comedy club! Ive seen plenty of shows here and it has always been nothing less than a great time!First and foremost, the SF books top-tier comedians. Most recently I saw George Lopez. Seeing an A-lister like Lopez in such an intimate venue was a truly special experience! Ive also seen Tracy Morgan, Hannibal Burress, Jim Breuer & Gary Gulman. Every single one was an unbelievable experience!Second, is Vinnie Brand, the owner. Brand knows his business because hes IN the business. Brand is an active comic himself and he knows what makes a good comedy club...both for audiences AND comics. This means that the shows flow smoothly without major interruptions from servers or performer changes. Also, heckler and rude audience member shennanigans are not tolerated. Huge plus! Additionally, Vinnie Brand is genuinely funny as hell. Hes always a great cherry on top of whatever other names are performing.The Stress Factory has a decent menu or both food and drinks and the prices are very reasonable. Theres a two item minimum order per person, which is standard. SF has handicapped/wheelchair access even though its below grade venue. Just be advised that seating is first come first served. If you want a shot at getting choice seating show up early. This is not to say that there are any bad seats. On the contrary, the SF is an intimate venue and there really arent any bad seats in the house. But if you show up when the club is mostly full be prepared to get in where you fit in. You will probably have to sit with some strangers or might have to split a big group up. These shouldnt be deal breakers, but just be aware.Finally, the location of the club is great. Theres a public parking lot right next door and there are tons of bars and restaurants within walking/short driving distance.If youre a Jersey resident and within reasonable distance of New Bruns, and youre a fan of good standup comedy, the SF is the place to be. If youre passing through and need a recommendation for a good time, put the Factory on your list. You wont be disappointed!

I enjoyed the show on Saturday August 17th

This was our second time coming here and the comedians were great as always! Good food and drink menu with lots of options to choose from. I love the intimate setting and being so close to the stage, but it was definitely tight seating and I had to move pretty frequently so servers could get through to the tables.

Always a great place for a good laugh, be sure to arrive early for good seats and bring your appetite. When you arrive early be sure to visit Victorias for a good slice and drink. Continue with laughs at Stress Factory for more fun and drinks.

It was such a great experience! Spacious venue, good food and drinks and the comedy show was hilarious!

Saw Tom Green last night, had a blast! Service was a 10 from beginning to end, food was slammin!!! Cheers to Patty, Bailey, and the entire staff Will def be back 👊🏼🤘🏼

Great comedy club, with very good established and up-and-coming comedians. Always enjoy going there. Last time I went, there was only one ticket available for purchase online, but when I called and explained I needed two, since we were going out for a special occasion, they were very helpful and got me that extra ticket, even though it wasnt showing available. Ee had a great time, as usual! Thank you!

Loved it and always have. Its a great night out! Vinny (the owner) is such a great guy! Wait staff is great!! Prices are reasonable!

Been here 2xs is great! Whats not to like about a COMEDY club. Now if youre a person that doesnt like other people on top of you, this is NOT the place for you because it is TIGHT. Once the comedian comes out you forget about it all.

I had an amazing time at the Stress Factory. The food and drinks were on point and the comedians had me in tears. Cant wait to go back

Visited the Comedy Club for the 1st time with family to see Bruce Bruce. The show was held indoors with A/C as they do have an outdoor club area. Our party was seated by the host. We arrived 1.5 hrs before the show and got seats by the stage. Our server was efficient and attentive. The club was clean, tables and seating were comfortable; bathrooms were clean with a number of stalls in them; well maintained. Tickets, drink and food prices were typical for a club showcasing a well known comedian. The show was excellent; had great laughs and a good time. Would definitely visit again as I love the small club atmosphere and intimacy.

Kev Herrera was hilarious !!! Great venue even if food n drinks are just OK and overpriced ..its still a fun night out

Great venue. Employees are very professional and friendly. Went to see a show with the whole family, teen kids first stand-up show, and they loved it. Def go back again. PS, easy parking in the garage right next door.

What a great place for a night of laughter!! I enjoyed two shows in the past month there with my boyfriend and two other couples and we all had a blast. I will definitely return for another night out. I only ordered drinks which were decent but next time Ill try an appetizers or something else. Great gem for New Brunswick, NJ!

Chaotic, congested, too small of a space for them of fit in large crowd/overbooking people to attend shows.We went for comedy show - 1 side of speakers werent working. Total Rip Off place. Avoid shows there if you can. Wont be returning to this place again.Drinks/food/server were good.

I have been to 3 shows so far.All soap stars. Staff is so nice,I have had a good experience every time. My daughter lives in East Brunswick,so we make this our time together too. And the shows have been good. Food is good.

Great place to see a comedy show. Not a bad seat in the house. Service is pretty good and drinks just as good as any higher end bar.

An incredible experience await you when you come to the stress factory in New Brunswick The shows are great and I am seeing top comedians perform I used to travel all the way to New York and with the extra money for all the parking and walking to different comedy shops it was a little bit of a evening but coming to the stress factory which I have been to hundreds of times now is really the best buy for the buck at the VIP the food is great everyone has a clear view of all of the comedians everyone is nice the staff is professional Vinny is one of the best post I have not been to his other location I go to location in New Brunswick but I am sure the other one if youre looking for a night out for you and the lady or a few of the girls a few of the guys the stress factory is in my opinion one of the best places to go right here in the Central Jersey area

Great shows , great comedians, great entertainment if you want to laugh like crazy and have a great time on a date or as a group this place will blow your mind this comedians that they bring here are awesome funny... I had the chance to enjoy a 5 start comedian D.L. Hugely

The Stress Factory was Awesome.... My friends took me out to cheer me up.... And... Boy, Oh Boy, did we have a good time with Tony Rock.....Let me also say Pattie at the Stressfactory is AWESOME.... We purchased the wrong day and Pattie helped us fix the dates and times for our tickets.... THANK YOU PATTIE ❤ And... Thank You Stressfactory ❤ We will be back....

This has had some of them greats all the way from mad TV comedians to your homegrown comedians if you want to go to place for parties come sit down and relax just remember theres a two-drink minimum and get your tickets ahead of time mad love and respect to everybody that stop by and have a great night

We went to see Mike Birbiglia and the show was fantastic. The food was good and came out quickly. The staff was attentive and friendly, especially for dealing with such a packed house.

Went to see Marlon Wayans the show was good,food was good but drinks was water down😞 They must have a new Bartender

I remember when The Stress Factory was the place to go to see your favorite NYC comics work their hour sets (as opposed to 10/15 minutes at a NYC club) in New Jersey. It was an absolute treat seeing NYC heavy hitters do an hour in NJ. Norton, Attell, Quinn, etc. Booking practices seem to have changed, favoring comics who have viral TikToks, a lackluster podcast, or who spent five minutes on Americas Next Top... I check the schedule regularly, hoping for a show worth seeing, but theyve been incredibly sparse. Fingers crossed The Stress Factory will remember their roots and go back to the magic.EDIT TO ADD, BASED ON OWNERS RESPONSE: This review has nothing to do with one particular comic or one particular show. I never said it did, so Im unsure why that was even mentioned. And the fact that I said You no longer host hard working popular NYC comics and you said What about Martin Amini, Rocky Dale Davis, and Joey Kola? only proves my point. Yikes.

Ive never had a bad time here! Ive seen comedians like Margaret Cho, Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Norm Macdonald, Trey Kennedy, Craig Robinson, and most recently the Bored Teacher tour with Briana Richardson. Great show, great service, great food!

First time there and it was great! The atmosphere was energetic and friendly. The owners daughter was our waitress and had awesome energy. Will definitely be back for another show!

The comedy was top-notch! The owner is hilarious and very welcoming. The tickets, food and drinks are extremely reasonably priced and the food was very tasty. I had the hummus and Pita plate oh, my husband had several Arnold Palmers, our friends had a sampler platter and we didnt buy the buffet but those around us seem to be enjoying it and I regretted not having purchased it once I saw everyone else. I almost opted for the VIP tickets but Im glad I didnt because while theyre have a better vantage point and are directly on top of the talent, its very cramped upfront and you have to maneuver through the seats to get to and from the bathroom. It is extremely crowded but thats to be expected of a good comedy club. The bathrooms our updated, stalls are plentiful they were very clean at the beginning of the show but by the end they had been slightly neglected. There was one waiter in particular who though he was not waiting on our table, walked over any way to stabilize the slightly wobbly table that wasnt bothering us in the least. He was extremely thoughtful. Our waitress was sweet but we were slightly neglected. Overall I think that a fifth Star could have been earned if they had employed one more waitress and someone to bus the tables as well as straighten up the bathroom throughout the set. Parking is directly next door and was not terribly expensive. An overall great experience, we hope to return when it warms up because the outdoor area complete with a cute little bar and tables seems to be a great place to wait on the second show. You do have to wait on line for the second show of the evening oh, they have space heaters exceeding is a first-come first-serve basis so it pays to get there early. All in all, a great night out! Thanks Vinny

I love this place seating is a little tight but most comedy clubs are. Ive seen Earthquake DeeRay and Talent. I will definitely be going back.

I come here several times a year. You have to look at line up several times a month because sometimes big artists show up out of the blue. The prices are very affordable. Get there early or you maybe packed tight. As long as the parking garage is open ($6) next door then everything will fall right in place. Great atmosphere and food. Dont just take my word go visit for yourself.

Went to see Craig Robinson for my son in law’s birthday and we had the absolute best time. Don’t remember the last time I laughed so much. The staff was great, we enjoyed the food. Laid back and fun ambiance. Will definitely go back.

Very decent comedy club. Ive only seen comedians in theaters or larger venues never a comedy club. This place was quite fantastic. They had a great menu of food and drink choices. The check in process was seamless and there are no bad seats in the house. Parking is literally right next door so we didnt have any trouble finding a place to park.

Ive been to more shows than I can count at Mr. Brands Stress Factory. Its always a good time, whether Im watching an unknown comic, or Chris Rock with Hannibal Burress and J.B. Smoove opening, or David Koechner of the Office and Anchorman fame, who I saw at the 7pm show tonight. The staff treat people right and I always feel right at home there, laughing my @$$ off!

Gary Owen was hilarious!! Great show tonite 👏!! Kudos to the staff @ the Stress Factory for making us feel comfortable. .

From the time my husband and I walked in, until the time we left, we were so happy! They outdoor seating was outstandingly beautiful. They truly took pride in their work. Our waitress was a sweetheart! The room was temped perfectly, food was excellent. The show was top notch funny! Every staff member said hello. Truly a great establishment! My husband and I will 100% be back! They were covid compliant, we felt comfortable the whole time!

Vinny Brand and his staff treat you like family when you come to his comedy club. The food, drinks, and service is very good. Did I also mention Vinny does stand up? He is very funny. Definitely go here for good times and laughs!

Very nice place, but the drinks are super expensive.Was shocked when I received a bill of $280.It was just four of us, and we did not drink excessively.

Always have great time when I visit. Did a couple of GUEST spots for headliner Rodney Laney! Great place to see Huge Talent & Up and Coming Talent. Drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. Customer Service is on point. Clean Bathrooms and plenty of seating.

Great place to see a comedy show. 2 item minimum ( not drink) . Wait staff was awesome and the food and drinks were really good!

Went with my boyfriend to see Matt from Matt and Shane’s secret podcast as an anniversary gift. Food was really good, white sangria was amazing !! Opening acts were really funny. Only thing that was slightly disappointing is that the guy from the stoner dads podcast (I think that’s what it’s called) used the same exact material from when we saw him almost a year ago in the meadowlands. Still funny the second time around though!! Definitely will be going again.

Went for a show selected VIP seats with the anticipation for good service THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Waited over an hour even with 4 request for a waiter to come and take my order. Once ordered took over an hour to receive the wrong salad and wings Requested a manager who never came. Will never go again

Great place for taking a break from life for a few and having a laugh. Always great acts very reasonable prices for tickets, good food and awesome service.

I purchased tickets and Ive been trying to get a refund for my return for two weeks, but it has been an incredibly frustrating experience. They promised to call me back multiple times, but I havent received any calls. Ive also sent several emails, but none have been answered. And Im still waiting for my money. Disappointing customer service.

This is the second time Ive been to the Stress Factory. The phone staff who work with ticket inquiries are great, and very helpful. The staff inside the club are very well organized, and we were able to pick our own seats because we arrived early. The wait staff are very nice as well. I would not go there hungry, because the two times Ive eaten here the food was pretty bland. And my drink wasnt the greatest either. But that is made up for by the quality of the talent. We saw Brad Williams, and last time saw Christopher Titus. Both performers were excellent. They worked the room well, and there are video screens in case you cant see the full stage. We got a little tired of seeing the owners name splashed around the whole place, but I guess if youve had a successful business long enough, you are entitled. We definitely would recommend this venue for seeing comedy acts, or having a party.

Place is ok and just that, food made my stomach sick before the main act, mandatory 20% tip on servers which sucks considering some service is better than others, the owner got on stage and horribly fumbled through 15 mins of cringe, and absolutely under no circumstances give them your email as you will never be able to stop the spam from them even after calling and asking multiple times. no hard feelings here, just honesty and facts.

This was my first visit to The Stress Factory in New Brunswick and it was PERFECT. The gentleman who took our tickets at the door was so personable and nice to us, and the gentleman who seated us explained all our options and helped us find the perfect table. My daughter, Emily, and I were treated so kindly by our waiter, Connor. He really did everything he could to make our first visit wonderful. He went above and beyond by offering food/drink suggestions and checking on us thru the evening. Such a professional, hard worker. The food was top notch, the club was so clean, the staff was organized, and even when they only had a few minutes to prepare for the next performance, they all were still so nice to us and didnt rush us at all! We came to see Nikki Glaser and she was terrific, and so was Andrew Collin, who opened for her. We stayed for the meet and greet and it was so worth it. I really cant thank you all enough for such a great time. Its a special memory for us, and we hope to come back again and again to your beautiful comedy club. Thank you so much!

Ive been coming to the Stress Factory for decades. Vinnie Brand is always a great host and manages to find excellent comics regularly. Every once in a while a famous comic could come in and do a set too. One time Wanda Sykes showed up and really made the night special.Like any other comedy club Ive been to, there are a few things that could be changed to really set the place apart. 1. The chairs are the same chairs Ive sat in for decades and sitting in them almost cripples you after sitting for the whole show. 2. Sometimes the food isnt really what it should be. Ive heard many complaints over the years and have had some of my own here and there but for me its mostly been OK. 3. Service during a comedy show is always slower than any other kind of service. Im happy that SF now has servers carry around card readers so you dont have to wait endlessly for them to come back. But during the show, its slower, harder to order because you want to be quiet for the live show, etc.Im not sure if the venue ever plans to improve these issues but it would be really amazing if they did. I know there is come nostalgia about sitting in a basement and experiencing live anything, but my I feel my suggestions are fair and would enhance the experience. Much love for the place!

Always a great time! From performing there myself at previous open mics to seeing big names when tickets are available, Ive loved this place for the last 4 years. The staff is incredible, even on PACKED nights. The food comes out hot and the beer is always ice cold. Thanks Vinny for keeping this place open despite the strange times!

The service is amazing ..it was a first date and I loved it. Funny ...good tasting and the drinks were perfect . I live far but im coming back. Come here

Nice place, the whole staff was necessary, the set up was effective. We pre-booked the table for 2, for the 7pm show. Used Google maps, it showed traffic around the club, so we parked on 27 and walked around the corner, perfect. We arrived 6:55pm, the staff got us into our table with no issue, it was a sweet because they are really organized, though it was crowded. We had beer, wings & sweet potato fries, the wings were just delicious. There were 3 comedian that stayed on for about 10 minutes each, all blew it up, but Marlon Wayans was everything you expect him to be, truly 1 of the kings of comedy, so fly. Establishment was clean, we will return.

We had a great time. Entertainment was great and the staff was extremely nice, even though they were very busy. 4 stars because it was VERY crowded. We were very lucky to get a tall table on the side but people were complaining they could barely move at their tables. Few masks and packed crowds made it uncomfortable.

I took my husband for his birthday. Stress factory is the best comedy club I’ve ever been too. The ambiance was great, staff was friendly, drinks were strong, food was good but more importantly the comics were historical. I can’t go wait to go back!!!!

My husband and I went to the Stress Factory Comedy Club for the first time last night - we had a blast! They do a pretty good job of getting a decent amount of people in the club without it feeling overcrowded, our server was AMAZING, bathrooms were clean, she food was pretty affordable. I highly recommend seeing a show here!!!

Great outdoor event, good food, wish my drink was bigger but the drink was mixed well regardless and wasnt weak. I hate going to places and the drink is weak, so they were on point with the mix. So thats the bare minimum of criticism I have. I enjoyed having my own table for 2 and the prices werent bad. Parked in a parking garage right next to it. Only 10 bucks for parking. It was a great show and a good night, I would return for sure.

Just the best! Awesome venue, staff is attentive and the food is great! They always book quality talent so youll never be disappointed. The place is famous and lives up to its hype. Vinnie Brand is always around after the show to meet the crowd and take comments, suggestions, or just take your thank you and hear your appreciation. Join the VIP club - totally worth it!

Comedy was great, but the service was poor. Double charged on more than one item, charged for items that werent ordered. Great comedy, lackluster service.

This is one of my favorite comedy clubs to perform comedy. The stage is great, audience always good and the bathrooms are clean.

Food is always great. Everyone is always placent

Great, great, great. The burger I had was absolutely delicious, medium rare, avocados that were perfect, bacon nicely cooked. Drinks were nice the wings are great no fat all chicken the curly fries were memorable lol. Service was nice, it was understandably slow because of the amount of people attending the show but that didn’t effect anything. Great night, funny show, nice staff. For sure I’d come back.

Saw Vinnie yesterday with my boyfriend. The other two comedians before him were great too! All three were great! Food was delicious and drinks were on point 🙌🏼 Would highly recommend 🍻

This was our first time going to Stress Factory in New Brunswick. We went to see Tim Dillon with some friends although Id never heard of him before. It was a little delayed for the doors to open, but once they did seating process was quick and smooth. I really dont think there is a bad seat in this place, we were at the back of the line and still had a great view.All of the acts were hilarious, especially Tim Dillon, the owner even did the opening set. Very friendly, fun atmosphere with quick service and good food. We got the tickets that came with dinner and drinks and it was a fantastic deal. Will definitely be spreading the word and going back for more shows!

Had a great time, the server was pleasant and thorough, food and drinks were good, DJ was on point. But most of all, the comedians were hilarious!

The food was good. I was pleasantly surprised actually at how good it was & how pleasant the staff was. I was there to see Godfrey & he kept me laughing the whole entire time🤣🤣. I would definitely go back here.

The comics are great! Outdoor/tent venue with good ventilation. They do get you on the drinks. Dont ask for water unless you really want water. It turns into $15 easily. Better if you just get snacks.

Me and my wife were at the Friday 7pn show for Colin Quinn 7. The staff was extremely friendly. Our waitress was on point. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to laugh and an affordable form of entertainment looking no further than the Stress Factory.

So fun and exciting went to see Tom green and it was the best experience I ever had especially when my mans family so bless ... Go Tom green GOOOOOOO.. LOL

Havent had a bad time yet going there. Can be tough to get a drink sometimes but overall they are a solid choice if you are looking for some laughs and something a little different to do. They bring in the big names, local comedians, and up and coming artists too.

Michael Rapaport killed it! Place was packed, but the service was impeccable. Food was delicious. I tried each one of my friends plates and each dish had something spectacular. I absolutely LOVED how they handled the line and handed people numbers to get in, and asked us to have a few drinks at the outside bar. Well done guys.

I would like to give a big shoutout to Missy. She went above and beyond to help me with a problem. Vinnie you have a gem with Missy, take good care of her. She genuinely cared about me!!!!! I left messages with other people and got no where. Thank you Missy!

Awesome place!! Vinnie and his crew do an excellent job at making the whole experience great!! Good food, fast service and always has super funny comedians!! A night you will remember!

What a great venue and establishment. Not a bad seat in the house and the staff are absolutely amazing!!! If you get Tabby as your waitress you won’t have to worry about a thing. She’s fantastic.And, of course, Always great comedians too.

Ive been here several times I love the food drinks , today we went to see Vic DiBitetto he put on a great show I highly recommend this place

It is the perfect sized venue with an intimate feel! Its not too small and its not too big either. We saw Dusty Slay do stand-up for his first time in NJ which was awesome! The owner is really friendly and funny too. They also have amazing flatbread. We will definitely be coming back!

My girlfriends and I was there on August 31st featuring Talent and Friends at the last minute, and it was great! We had an awesome time. I had to make myself stop laughing , my cheeks were hurting. I love it here! I work with the public everyday and I must say your customer service is excellent. Love this place and the atmosphere always has a nice vibe! I’ll be back.
