My fiance and I have been regulars here almost since the place first opened. The consistent quality of the various events, from stand-up and storytelling shows to classes and workshops to history lectures is truly amazing. The atmosphere is consistently casual, comfortable, and inviting. Add in surprisingly affordable tickets, including free events like open mics and meetups, and the place is a real gem.

We LOVE QED!!!

We've been going almost since it opened, and it's our 1st-place urban 'third place' (not the apartment, not work).

Kambri has created an amazingly vibrant, comfortable, innovative space that is much more than just a comedy space, and personally-meaningful to us, and legions of others.

The comedy is obviously great, but I love that there are also learning and collaboration opportunities, political events, etc.

For us the bonus has been that we've met so many awesome people who are now our friends, including performers, staff, and audience-members.

QED is an indispensable center of Astoria culture and company, and for us, it makes home, home.

QED is an incredible spot. Cozy place to go for a drink or a date. At night you can catch some comedy, storytelling and other shows at incredible prices with no drink minimums. During the day, they host a ton of different classes that’ll help you learn about some of your favorite crafts. It’s a great center for community and an incredible place for young artist to develop. I’ve been able to benefit from all of these aspects of this awesome place. Step inside and find something awesome for you to enjoy too.

Came here for the first time last night to enjoy the free open mic show. The venue was cozy and intimate, and parking was easy to find which was great. The acts were not too great though and strictly consisted of only comedians as opposed to a variety of different acts, so i was a bit disappointed since i was hoping to hear some poetry or music. Furthermore, not much diversity here which can become a bit awkward when certain racial jokes are attempted and you're the only person of color in the room..so just something to keep in mind for my brown and chocolate folks. Overall, perhaps we didn’t get lucky this time around.

Saturday night 9:30 Comedy show review.

So it was my first time coming here and I was pleasantly surprised. I bought tickets online after reading an article about this place and I was so happy I took the risk. We showed up exactly at 9:30 PM which was not ideal cause the place was packed! We found seats but still next time I want to go earlier and grab a table.

The venue is small, the front looks like a cute cafe with books and board games, but this place also serves beer, wine and seasonal drinks (spiked apple cider). The back room was curtained off for the comedy show - with regular chairs and tables and high tops with high chairs.

The comedians were amazing!! There were times where I was like wiping away tears!!! I can't want to go back, this is a great bang for your buck type of night. We ordered the spiked apple cider and they were delicious, perfect to pair with the show! There is a free show right after which seems more like a hit or miss, more like comedians testing out new materials.
