What People Are Saying About Comedy Store

The Scene – The darkest comedy club of 'em all. This pitch-black box on the Sunset Strip is rumored to be haunted by performers (and mobsters) of old. Presiding over the joint since 1972 is the Shore family, first by matron and stage mother Mitzi, now son Paulie. Three rooms feature comedy seven nights a week: Main Room, Original Room, and the intimate Belly Room upstairs. Watch your step around this place; they saved the lights for the stage. – – The Draw – A virtual "who's who" of comedians have and continue to perform here. Roseanne, Richard Pryor, Jim Carrey, David…

The joke is on us
by theroboticdan
I went once and they just let us in for free. But we saw this late-late night variety show that ended up being the most depressing act I've ever seen live.
Was going to go back this weekend to see a friend do stand up, but probably not anymore. Tickets are 15 dollars (for someone famous maybe, but a friend?) And with a two drink minimum and mixed drinks running around 10 dollars, that puts the price at 35 bucks. Add my date in and its 70 dollars.
- Pros: Great location
- Cons: So pricey

A Comedy Store is a Comedy Store is a Comedy Store.
by TG4M
You will laugh your butt off Cinco de Mayo weekend when a dirty-mouthed Puerto Rican, Cuban activist, Mexican gangster and a gay comedian take the stage at 8:30 pm. Do not miss this. 5-3-09 Rick Martinez, Luis Moro, Eddie G., Jason Landau perform.
- Pros: You can hear and see stage perfect-food is not that bad.
- Cons: Parking. But it is Hollywood.

As much of a crtic I am... I really liked this place
by MammaDukes
I went on a night when there was like 15 comedians.... i don't know, maybe that is typical?... They were good, some were a lot better. What I like was: the guy I spoke with on the phone about times and more info, etc was SO friendly and enthusiatic about the two different shows.. I want to say his name was Mike ro something.. (sorry... i dont remember) -- the guy at the door when we arrived was very nice, accomodating, and great, the comedians were great, the waitress was actually friendly (i read the reviews about them beforehand so maybe I had low expectations...?), and we didnt wait too long for drinks -- although she looks extremely busy... afterwards, the cute girl bartender was giving us the scoop on my favorite comedian -- whom i stalked after the show of course....... ahhhhhhhhh ... bobby lee... what a guy. All the comedians there awesome though, Kirk Fox, Dov Davidov, etcetc.... fun night. But wish I would have made out with at least one of them ... ok, ok,.... i am married.. what of it??? :)
- Pros: Everyone there was great
- Cons: cant really think of any.... is that stupid??
The Details on Comedy Store
Save Money:
Get in free Sunday and Monday from 7pm to 8pm for "Pot-luck," similar to open mic. After that, it's $5 for "Pop-ins," where established and celebrity comedians try out new material.
Know Before You Go:
Unlike most clubs, you can call the Comedy Store anytime after 9am and a real person--not a recording--assists with reservations.
The Extras:
Parking is expensive, and traffic brutal--make the most of your visit and walk to Carney's next door for post-set munchies.
