āFun atmosphere, hilarious comics and a great vibe is what I got from a random Friday night at the PLAYHOUSE Nightclub. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show and look to go there again. Glad that Jacksonville finally has a comedy club and something to do that is hilarious to blow off steam from a long work week. Highly recommend for anyone, either it being solo, on a date or with a group this will be a very enjoyable night at PLAYHOUSE!!āāWe enjoyed the comedy show. We were politely welcomed at the door by the owner. The seating areas do have comfortable cushioned chairs. We sat in the bar area to watch a two hour show. I was not disappointed. The ambiance was great for date-night with my husband. We shared several drinks and lots of laughs together. We look forward to another date-night at the Playhouse.ā"My wife and I was looking for something new to do in Jacksonville NC. So we decided to try out Playhouse. It didnāt disappoint was amazing Chris Robbins was an awesome host and the comedians were funny as hell. The waiters were on point serving drinks. We will definitely be doing this more often!""LOVEEEEE going to Playhouse! Itās such a great time and the perfect way to spend a Friday evening. Weāve been several times over the last few months and the comics just keep getting better. The atmosphere and drinks are good, and the host is okay too (jk heās awesome!). Iām glad we have something like this to do in Jacksonville."
