The main room for shows is decently sized, but there isn't a bad seat in the venue. They had a relatively large food & drink menu which was awesome! We ordered their Philly Cheesesteak Fries and they were delicious! The servers came and checked in throughout the show and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking is easy which you wouldn't be able to say about most venues of this kind. Definitely worth coming to a show here!

Hands down the nicest comedy club in SD. Parking here is TOO easy and FREE unlike other places…read morewhich is def a plus of this place. My friend and I were shocked by how fancy this place is on the inside, especially the Gold Room where we attended a show. The Gold Room is a more intimate experience with the comedians as it's a room that fits ~20-30 people which makes the experience more worthwhile as everyone in the audience is included in the show. Surprisingly the food here was SOOO good which we were not expecting at all. We got the chicken katsu and the chicken was SOOOO JUICYYYY and the fries it came with were well seasoned. I do wish they had different sauces for the chicken katsu that were house made but it's ok, at least the food itself was good. The virgin drinks are also really delicious here. Food can be ordered at any time throughout the show, all you have to do is click a call button on your table. Overall great experience, everyone that worked here was so nice, def would be back!

Oh what a night! It's an absolute must!…read more Absolutely love this comedy show!!!!! I've come here regularly over the last 10 years or so and have seen amazing comics such as Mark Christopher Lawrence, Jerrod Carmichael, Anjelah Johnson, Cheeto Santino, Jonny Loquasto, Michael Kosta, Melissa Villaseñor, Alonzo Bodden, Shawn Pelofsky, Tony Baker, Adam Ray, Jesse Egan, Zoltan Kaszas, Mal Hall, and so many more! For the price, it's priceless. No drink minimums, stellar atmosphere, and just an overall great place to bring a date, a friend, or even your parents. I've seen bachelor/bachelorette parties, coworker gatherings, and a slew of birthdays all being celebrated here. Honestly there's not a lot of better places to spend 7-30pm-9:30pm on a Friday night (shows are typically once a month on the last Friday of the month). Head downtown, grab some dinner, come to the show, and then you can party the night away in the beautiful Gaslamp Quarter. If you're up for a night of LAUGHS come here and you won't be disappointed! Check online below for details and tickets. I think the next show is 09-24-21. https://malhall.com/gaslamp-comedy-show HUUUUGE thanks to Mal Hall and The Tipsy Crow.

Super funny and unique comedy experience located in the basement of the Tipsy Crow…read more I caught Mal for the first time as the opener for Anjelah Johnson and my whole group was laughing so hard that we cried. I've been wanting to check out another show with him for awhile so I was excited when I saw The Gaslamp Comedy Show featured on his Instagram. We had a rotating group of fresh, upcoming comedians who were working out their material. We were an intimate group and it was a different experience watching them quickly pivot or adjust based on how the crowd was interacting with the jokes. 5/5, we'll definitely be back.

Here are some details: Parking - Recommend parking in the Horton Parking structure. It is literally right across from this place. Forgot how much we paid but it wasn't ridiculously priced. There are also metered parking around the area. Staff - Staff receiving the customers were friendly, they offer 50% military discount, so definitely take advantage of that. Our hostess was very nice and checked in on us always. There is a two-drink minimum here with the show, it could be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Show itself was great. We enjoyed the featured comics. The only thing that I felt awkward about, was the host. I felt like she was out of it and was awkward, but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend trying this spot. Unfortunately, they do not serve food but there are restaurants around the area.

It was cool to see a diverse line-up. Wish they included more female comedians, so many great ones out here! Service was good. Drinks were served with a smile. I appreciated that there were more than just two NA drink options. Bathrooms were clean, but only one dispenser had soap. Providing some snack options would be nice or permit outside food. Maybe partner with a neighboring Taqueria or Pizzeria. I was hungry again by the end of the show.

We had a good time at The Comedy Store in La Jolla…read more Like most comedy clubs, it's a mix, some comedians were really solid and had us laughing, while others clearly thought they were funnier than they were. That's just part of the experience. The atmosphere was good overall. Service came off a little rude at times, but honestly that's kind of expected in these types of venues, so it didn't ruin anything. They do take your phones, which might catch some people off guard, but it wasn't a big deal for us. I'd definitely like to see a bigger-name headliner there at some point, but overall it was a fun night and we'll be back.

So when you arrive you have to put your phone in a pocket slip its locked. So you can't be on your phone etc during the show. You have to step out if you need to take a call.I do like that policy with the no phones out during the show. I noticed immediately how the entire crowd before the show started chatting amongst one another it was refreshing. Not something you see much of anymore because we are all glued to our phones. So I hope they keep that rule. The drinks were good. Service was good. As soon as they open they give you a complete rundown of the rules. Which is great. They manage the lines well. They don't have a food menu. Some popcorn at most I believe. I only got drinks. FYI: DO NOT PARK AT PAVILIONS THEY WILL TOW YOU!! Take a lyft/uber or find street parking. A little challenging but not impossible promise. Only issue I would say is it was extremely hott inside during the show. Hope it wouldn't be that bad in the future for shows I'd love to attend here.

I have been to Comedy Heights twice now and both times I had so much fun!…read more This is definitely a hidden gem and I'm so glad that you found it. For starters, you pay $5/person to get in and that is actually a credit at LeStats next door so you're basically paying nothing. But seriously?!? $5 to laugh and laugh for an hour and a half?!? Yes please! The comics range from students to up and comers to a headliner. Al Gavi is the host and he's really energetic and positive. Most of the humor is above the belt, so don't expect to come here and find raunchy stuff. It's a really pleasant surprise. One thing I found is that, in the two nights I attended, every comic either has ADHD or thinks they might have it. They all joked about it. Hahaha When your night is finished, there are plenty of dessert spots nearby. It's a great way to finish the night because the show doesn't go too late. We are hooked on this place!

Promptly seated & orders taken soon after this by Indica who also was performing & did an absolutely stellar job!! Bottomless mimosas or Bloody Mary's are served with brunch & they are refilled frequently. Jordan never let a drink get a glass go empty. Our host for this show Paris continuously kept the crowd entertained with lots of laughter! I have gone to many drag show experiences, but this was probably in the top 5 for me & I would gladly attend another one on a visit back to Sd. A few negatives are although every seat is good- the table we were at sometimes caused the show lights to hit me directly in the eye so I had to divert my attention to performances. Our meal (we both ordered carne asada breakfast) was not really seasoned. I just would try something else next time I go. Overall I had a lot of fun at Lips & it's something I would highly recommend if you're in the area! Thank you for keeping the drag experience available semi locally for me!

She had complimentary tickets ( usually a $10 cover) to The Shout House, a dueling piano bar. We almost didn't go and let me tell you, that would have been a sad mistake. We walked in and while it was a little loud for us older folks, we looked around and took in all that was happening. There were people there much older than us as well as people barely old enough to be in a bar. The pianist (s) were hard at work a the drummer was rocking out too. We sat down. Let me tell you, that was the most fun we have had in a long time! All three musicians played multiple instruments, piano, harmonica, sax, and drums. The songs were everything from Slim Shady to Elton John and everything in between. Slips of paper were placed on the piano, a nod was given and off they went. The crowd sang along and we all laughed! Some of it was silly but ALL of it was fun! Highly recommend. About 10:30 the older crowd started making their way out, us included, early morning flight but we would have stayed until closing time. We might have paid for it the next day but had we not had a plane to catch we absolutely would have stayed. It was fun to see multiple generations having so much fun together and the music was incredible. We had just eaten so we didn't order food but what we saw on other tables looked good. Go!! You won't be sorry!
