I've been to a few and performed at a few Monday night shindigs there (Ghost Fight's 3-prov set being my favorite... it featured demons), but Friday is different... and especially different from Triple Crown...
Let's not say it's the second coming of UCB (where most of the crowd is there b/c of seeing the performers on Gossip Girl), but let's do say that every audience member at Triple Crown is also a performer and let's do say that at QSIC that's not 100% true.... which is HUGE.
Yes, it does have "club" in its name, but you're performing for people, not friends... and making people laugh is much easier than making your friends laugh...
