[SInce everyone else is reviewing the restaurant (rather than the comedy club) here, I'll do so as well.]
Spent 6 whole days in Iowa (mainly Des Moines) and had lunch and dinner at 12 different places. This was #4 (of 12), the only 5-star lunch place we encountered.
Expectations were low. "All you can eat spaghetti with an unlimited salad bar"... I'm thinking the pasta version of "Old Country Buffet." Boy, was I in for a surprise!!
First, the salad bar salad was about one of the freshest & yummiest I've ever had. Even the bread tasted freshly baked rather than the 2 day old rolls you get at some of those Chicagoland buffets.
For the main course, we chose the create-your-own pasta. You pick a pasta, a sauce, and a side item. I chose angel-hair with pesto sauce, and italian sausage. Sounded a little bland, but good, and despite the great salad (most likely the first one I finished all year -- I am not a salad person), my expectations were again low (it was just too cheap to be awesome). Surprise #2... It was really great!! -

Boo.
Comedy Club..there's a comedy club at Spaghetti Works? Weird. In any case, I found myself in Spaghetti Works to celebrate a birthday. I think this place was chosen for the surprise party location as they have large side room that is event appropriate. Now, I didn't expect to be wow'd by any means, but I also didn't expect the waitress not to know what a "microbrew" was (we asked for "fancy" instead), for the server to bring out the wrong bottle of wine (white instead of red), or for the pasta to taste box-esque.
Yuck. -

No experience with the Comedy Club, but I've eaten at Spaghetti Works numerous times.
Spaghetti Works can be a great place to stop with family for reasonably priced Italian food. It's very kid-friendly and has lots of space for larger groups. I've always had good service and had a nice time there, though I will say that the place tends to get rather loud.
I usually go with the create-your-own pasta dish and have always been pleased. It's not tremendous but it's good, decent food. Most everyone I've been there with has been satisfied with their meals. My mother recently had a chicken/pasta dish that she raved about, while my stepfather chose a small pepperoni pizza that he said tasted microwaved (and it looked that way, too).
The salad bar is a great feature and comes with most menu items. Also, in my experience, they tend to make their mixed drinks strong. Bonus! -

It's cheap, it's OK. I don't recommend this place, but I have no problem going when someone else wants to take me. It's not a place a tell people to run away from. If you love good pesto, don't offend your taste buds by getting the pesto.
The salad bar is decent. Plenty of drink options.
I can see why some people like this place. It's filling, not to pricey, and might remind people of their mom's cooking (assuming their mom's food warrants only 2 stars). -

Cant comment on the Comedy Club part of the title but I can surely comment on the spaghetti. Make sure you bring your appetite to this place. They have a plethora of pasta dishes customized to your hearts content. They have a nice salad bar to balance the pasta... Desserts to die for!! Carrot Cake.. nuf said. Bring your A -Game to this place when you are hungry as they provide more than enough food.
