Sound Quality Was Terrible
Kings Theatre - Brooklyn
The show itself was okay, however my friend and I were unable to hear about 50-70 percent of all jokes. This was due to terrible sound quality in the upper balcony area. We spoke to others around us and heard the same issue. When we spoke to the security staff they mentioned that it was something HBO was doing to the sound and that they had the problem noted down. My advice to anyone attending a 2 Dope Queens series of tapings would be to make sure you don't go on the first night. Go after that when there is a greater chance the sound is figured out.

The venue was wonderful but the security was a bit intense. HBO had particular rules about locking our phones in neoprene pouches which I was not a fan of.

Sound was terrible for the live audience!
Kings Theatre - Brooklyn
I was very disappointed that I couldn't really hear anything! When taping tv specials and podcasts, the special microphones make the sound very quiet for the live audience. I will probably never do that again!! But, 2DQ are fun and hilarious, obviously. The show would have been amazing, if I could have heard everything. Feel like I missed out on jokes!! thumbs down. Kings Theater is gorgeous though!!
