The same happens with us white Latinos too. My mom is from Dominican Republic and my dad is from Brazil. Both are white as hell and still speak no English.

I have been there a few times (as an audience member) but the comedy cellar literally is more or less just a cellar. The comedians come on down and then they go back outside or go to the restaurant upstairs. Some comedians drop in unannounced and do unscheduled shows. Also, as an audience member, it was different.
