Had a wonderful time here performing in the east bay comedy completion . The food was much better than I would expect for this kind of place and the waitstaff was great. Its a shame they are closing soon

Freshhhh n tasty shishito peppers with dosh aioli
Bri W.

Alameda Comedy Club is an entertainment venue in smalltown A-town first discovered yesterday since a friend posted on LinkedIn about his first appearance on this kind of stage. First-timer tonight. The comedy show was hilarious and the MC was incredibly down to earth, honest, and hysterical. The poke dish was delish. The shishito peppers were a bit spicy for a friend and me but luckily, ACC has to-go boxes and the aioli with the peppers was an explosion of yum. Always try my best to never waste. The bourbon cat cocktail seemed enjoyable and the sparkling strawberry lemonade was divine. Areas of improvement: loved the food, drinks, and service. An itemized bill would have been appreciated. Strengths: the attentive service, excellent entertainment and enthusiasm, and the floor plan layout. Thank you so much for the fun memories and an amazing time out past our school night hours.

These fried Mac n Cheese balls were our favorite... piping hot and very cheesy!

We went August 17th. We actually were recommended this place from watching them featured on Check Please, Bay Area. They have 2 shows per Saturday/Sunday night 7am and 9pm, we went to the early show. They open the doors 30 min ahead of time and there is a lovely area out back with comfy seating and fire pit to hang out before show starts. They seat you and take your order right away. Everyone was SO NICE and very welcoming. They have great food selections, we loved everything we tried. The drinks are creative and delicious and strong!! All the comedians we saw that night (3 + the host/emcee) were all phenomenal & very funny!! We already want to go back. Cannot recommend this place highly enough if you want a fun night with great entertainment, service and food/drinks!!

Went on a Saturday with a group of 4 to see Myq Kaplan. Parking was easy for us to find, we were greeted by a host at the entrance who sat us at our table. Our table was roomy enough where we ordered a drink each, 4 appetizers, and 2 entrees. We ordered the bowl of chips, 2 grilled cheese bites, truffle-parm fries, and 2 brisket sliders. All were 10/10 and would recommend each plate (you can't go wrong with these choices). For dessert we ordered churros w/ a chocolate sauce, it was warm, and it was the perfect amount of sweet. There were 2 openers before Myq Kaplan & we found them to be entertaining! Service was great, about 20-25 min before the show was ending, the waiter will check in with you if you're ready for the bill or would like to place one last order. I found the service to be really organized.

First time coming here. We didn't know this place existed until I did a random Google search for events this weekend. We had a great time watching a comedy show this past Saturday (Shawn Felipe). Staff had excellent customer service and space was really nice indoors and outdoors. It was cool they had a photo backdrop area set up outside. There was a small parking lot and street parking available. We enjoyed the truffle fries and the calamari. We liked that the establishment felt very clean compared to other comedy clubs I've been to. And the tables and chairs were spaced out nicely, not squished together like other places. Another plus is at the door they just looked up our names on the list instead of having to bring printed tickets or pulling up the tickets on our phone. Loved that extra convenience. Can't wait to come back and enjoy another night out here. We will bring more friends next time.

Gotta say, the food is good

We try to support local businesses as much as possible. Since Alameda Comedy opened, we've gone to at least 10 shows. The food and drinks are good. The comedians are hit or miss (like any comedy show) but we have a nice time. But tonight was a bummer. We were seated at a small table for four (small is normal). There was hardly any space between the table in front of us so we moved our table back a little to allow room for the servers to walk by. BUT DO NOT do that or else get "disciplined". Then right before the show started and seeing the place wasn't going to fill, we asked to add the empty table next to us so we'd have more room for 8 drinks and 3 appetizers. Apparently, that isn't allowed either. Instead, they offered us a bigger table off to the side with a worse view. We decided to stay put but the table next to us and tables in our area were EMPTY all night. How is any of this logical? It isn't. Saving grace is the show was good but we would've enjoyed it more if none of that ridiculousness happened. Not sure we'll go back.

This place is dope. They have open mics on Thursday's, great comics on the weekends. The food is good the drink are not crazy expensive. The owner and his wife are so nice and the staff is excellent. Make sure this place is your go to stop for all the fun. They've only been open a year but they definitely know how to bring the funny. If you are a comic you can do open mics and even get your set video taped and given to you for $10 that is a steal. This place has it all. I highly recommend checking out their Thursday night open mics. This is some of the best 5 minute sets I've seen in a long time. A great way to spend two hours l. You could even stick around for the 8pm show and see a heavy hitting headliner.

What a great spot for my first comedy show! We came to see Laurie Kilmartin and what a show! She has 3 acts that opened her up and they were great! Nothing worse than a weak opening! While we were a huge fan of the first person who opened the show the next two comedians were great warming us up for Laurie! Then Laurie came on and it is no surprise that she was the opening act! She was super funny and it was a great fun show! There is a 2 "drink" minimum. You can purchase drinks or food to count towards this minimum. Make sure to order 2 things though because they will add a 2nd charge if you do not. There is a list of classic cocktails, wine and beer you can order. The food menu is on the smaller side but that is not the reason you are here. And there are some great bites to enjoy watching the show. Also there is street parking near the club or a parking lot right near so no worries on the parking! Fun spot to enjoy a first comedy show!!

Burnt banana fritter. There is no banana it in, Look like burnt meatballs, taste like burnt doughs. Charge $8+tax for this garbage.
Irene X.

Super cute place, the comedy was good, although one of the female comedian was boring and the joke was a bit awkward. The reason for 2 stars is because of the dessert that we had, which is Banana Foster Fritters with caramel sauce ($8). It was the WORST banana fritters I've ever had. It was burnt, totally burnt doughs without the banana fruits in it. It is not banana fritters, and it is not eatable. It is very dry, they look like black meatballs! I couldn't believe this place serve GARBAGE to their guests! This "Banana Foster Fritters" IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE MENU UNLESS THIS PLACE JUST WANT TO OFFEND THE GUESTS AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

Drag and brunch. Fresh fruit, bacon , sausage, smoked salmon, fried capers, pickled red onion, tar tar, waffles and maple syrup!
Oliver B.

My first show amidst covid and felt safe, well taken care of and saw an amazing drag show (every Sunday brunch and show). From the bouncer who was lgbtq kind and welcoming, put a smile on my face and got me ready for an experience to match. Excellent, attentive service on their outside socially distances tables . Solid food with a complete brunch spread. I mean bacon, sausage, waffles, maple syrup with salmon, to fried capers, tar tar sauce and pickled red onions with a strong drink? Yes please, and thank you. They went above and beyond and we saw an amazing drag show that is happening weekly! Definitely worth checking out and supporting this gem

Drag yourself to brunch at the Alameda Comedy Club
Edan A.

I attended a drag show over brunch at the Alameda Comedy Club. This was an awesome combination of good food, good drinks, comedy and drag show with some fabulous queens!!! The performances were all fun to watch, highly entertaining and engaging. I plan to go there again soon for one of the many other programs they have scheduled. Maybe even participate in the open mic they have on Wednesday! Since we are at the Covid era, I must add that all precautions are taken to keep everyone safe. Tables are kept far apart and visitors are asked to avoid crowding near the stage. Temperature is taken at the entrance. Overall, I highly recommend!!!

Is there a gluten free option for the brunch?

Our waffle brunch platter is already gluten free. Thanks.

Is there a way to order the brunch platter without the salmon or is it a premade platter? I'm allergic to fish and wanted to check in before purchasing tickets

Although I am a little conflicted about sharing this given that it was so amazing and it becoming popular may change things, I will tell you how good it is because the comedians and organizers deserve it, plus I am not about gatekeeping. I don't even know where to start... The location is fantastic, right at the waterfront. The stage's background was literally water + a beautiful sunset (See the photos if you don't believe me). It is outdoor but still covered, with plenty of heat lamps if you get chilly. The venue is right next to a small restaurant and gourmet-style grocery store and you can buy some food and drinks and enjoy them during the show (no drink/food minimum). The comedians were HILARIOUS right on par with what you'd see in any Netflix special. I've been to Tommy T's in Pleasanton, and House of Comedy in San Jose and this one is my favorite one. The environment is fun, yet relaxed and welcoming. The craziest part about this entire situation is that the VIP tickets are only 20 dollars and general admission is 10. I almost did not buy the tickets because the low cost of the tickets made me wonder about the quality of the show, but I was blown away. HUGE shout out to all the comedians and organizers for such a lovely and hilarious evening.

It's a very small space, so definitely get there early if you want a good seat otherwise, you might be squeezing in wherever you can. What really stood out was the staff. They're comedians too, which made the whole experience feel more personal and fun. Everyone was incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely funny. You could tell they cared about creating a great atmosphere. The crowd and lineup were a great mix, which I always appreciate. And the comedians? Not amateurs by any means. The jokes were sharp, well thought out, and actually funny... you're not sitting there forcing laughs. While there was a little bit of blue comedy here and there, it wasn't overdone. It was refreshing to hear more curated, clever material. My best friend just moved to the area, and we've been exploring different spots together. We're really glad we checked this place out and would absolutely come back, just earlier next time for better seats. They do have a full bar, but keep it simple. This isn't the place for craft cocktails, just stick with the basics like a rum and coke or a screwdriver and you'll be good. Overall, we loved the cozy, up-close feel. It's a solid choice for an easy, night out before heading somewhere else for drinks. Definitely worth checking out.

However, we were seated too close to the front wall that sometimes we just ended up seeing the comedian from behind. I'm sure we would've had a better experience if we didn't have a somewhat obstructed view. There's also a two drink minimum per person, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. This rule was a bit strange to me because all the other comedy spots I've been to allowed me to select a food item to meet the two item minimum. However, Punch Line is very strict on the fact that your two items have to be beverages. The cocktail I got was unmemorable. I should've just gone with something premade and canned. I'd come back here for a comedian that I'd want to see live. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

From the photos on the website I was expecting a more spacious venue but in person it's actually quite intimate especially when it's packed with patrons. And there's even a second floor with balcony! Somehow I missed seeing that on the website. We had arrived 30 minutes late but the hosts were super helpful trying to find us seats together. We ended up sharing a small table with another couple near the front. Getting seated with strangers is the norm at comedy shows so I wasn't put off by that. But I wasn't expecting the A/C to be blasting (assumed because everyone is packed in close), so I was glad I brought a hoodie! There is a 2- drink minimum per person but you can order non-alcoholic drinks or food. The menu is not bad. There were the usual items like nachos and chicken strips. I opted for a pretzel and Modelo.. I highly recommend this combo!! The pretzel came out nicely toasted and warm.. and the Modelo was HUGE! Definitely didn't need a second drink after that! All in all, it was a fun first time experience at Cobb's and I would recommend checking it out if you're looking for something to do in the city. Warning: Cobbs Comedy is located in North Beach where parking is hard to find. Free street parking is scarce everywhere in SF but it's particularly painful when you are late to a show in this part of town. So plan accordingly!
