Cool Beans Comedy is awesome! Corey Craig (producer and performer) makes this show one of the best around - he's hilarious and one of the friendliest people I have ever met. I've been to the last two shows and both were equally funny and entertaining. It doesn't matter where you sit either, the comedians are able to make every person in the room feel like part of the show. I also love that you get a raffle ticket for the chance to win cool prizes. I highly recommend Cool Beans - you will be thankful you went! read more

I had met Corey Craig (Producer) on a project we had worked on together and shortly after he invited me to Cool Beans Comedy Show. He was very generous in letting me bring some family members. One of the first things I noticed is how much they are involved with the audience and truly care about their experience. They raffle off WB VIP Tour Passes, hand out gift cards, and give you jelly beans. From the moment we sat down it was non stop laughing and the comedians were top notch. It was an awesome experience and WE all can't wait to go again. Thank you Corey for a great night!!! read more

Cool Beans Comedy - We mentioned to Corey it was our cousins Bday and he yanked him up on stage for the whole audience to sing HB to him. - Performing Arts Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've tried several different stand up comedy programs in Los Angeles trying to improve my stand up. Cool Beans comedy classes surpassed the others by a mile. They have helped me become more comfortable on stage, improve my timing, and most importantly made me funnier. I'd highly recommend this class to both beginners and comedians with experience looking to take their act to the next level. Before considering any stand up class in LA, I highly recommend Cool Beans. read more

Okay, this review is for the Cool Bean Comedy School. If you are looking for a place to learn how to be a standup comedian, this is it! This place is a gem! To start with, you will be learning from great coaches and comedians who have two different strengths. One is amazing at acting out and the other is amazing at mauling words. You can't ask for more capable coaches! For the price, you can't go wrong. For less than $300, you get 5 weeks training, performing on two stages, getting feedback from two instructors, Q and A with a pro, a 6-minute solid set, a professional photo and video, and a final performance at the Ice House. But don't take my word for it! Check them out for yourself! read more

Corey Craig is great! He always puts on a good show because he genuinely wants everyone to have a good time. Having experienced this, I asked Corey to out together a private show for mom's birthday party this weekend and I could not have asked for anything better or enjoyed it more! It was like a mini comedy show right there in our private room with Corey and two professional comedians making us laugh and spit up our cake. If you are looking for a great private party idea, you won't be more entertained than by Corey and his crew. Or, go see Corey and his Cool Beans Comedy show every month at the Ice House in Pasadena or at Vitello's every first Tuesday in Studio City! Thanks Corey! read more

Matthew and Corey are such a great duo!! They jump back and forth with their witty remarks and know how to get the crowd going. I love their energy and effortless ability to interact with the people in the crowd while making us all laugh. They also have the uncanny ability to turn their personal stories into humor. read more

Cool Beans Comedy is one of best sold out shows in town. I have known Corey Craig for many years. He is one of the most hard working and caring people I know. I love the energy at the shows and there is never a dull moment. Matthew Moore one of my favorite teachers in stand up comedy is so fun to work with. If you are shy and want to get over stage fright, I recommend this class. Great supportive environment. read more

If you want some good laugh and a great time with friends then you should go to Cool Beans Comedy! The team there is awesome and you will have an amazing time. Corey Grieg, the producer, puts on an awesome show and makes everyone feel welcomed. read more

The 6 week class was incredibly helpful in developing my voice as a story teller, and a joke writer. That's all I was looking for. But Matt and Corey went above and beyond. They offer punch lines, formatting advice, and mic choreography tips. You spend 5 weeks workshopping material until it kills and then go out in front of a crowd of people ready to laugh. The video and photos are worth the cost alone. If you're thinking of trying standup, this is the best case scenario. Good luck. But if you call these guys, you won't need it. ;) read more

Matt & Cory were kind & honest in teaching the comedy classes. You'll have differing viewpoints on 'how to' but the consensus is to get YOU better @ doing stand- up. VERY supportive & straightforward in their assesment of students. read more

My Husband and I had a wonderful time. The hot wings are so delicious. We had good laughs. Everyone did a wonderful job but one comic stood out his name is London Lee... Hands down FUNNY.. He is very creative, talented and most importantly relatable. When my husband and I seen his name again on the website we immediately purchased tickets. Wow!! We love that guy. He is authentic new jokes everytime. We will go everytime we see that London Lee will be attending. read more

I had been wanting to see fellow Texan, Cristela Alonzo's, live stand-up for months, so I jumped at the opportunity to see her show at Vitello's in Studio City. It was FANTASTIC! And it was an equally special treat to see my good friend and comedic stud, Corey Craig, as our host with the most. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more Cool Beans Comedy shows, especially at a venue as beautiful as Vitello's. HAPPY CUSTOMER :) PS: Get the mac and cheese. read more

My son, Joseph Haag performed at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena and I want to give a Big Thank You to the Cool Beans Comedy Team for putting the show together and making it a great night. Also a special Thanks to two Amazing guys, Corey Craig and Matthew Moore. Because of their knowledge and mentorship, the comedians that performed on stage were fantastic. Love the Haag Family! read more

I'm a recent graduate of Corey and Andrew's class (hey where's my diploma guys?) and I can tell you that the class was one of the funnest experiences of my life! If you think you're funny and like being around funny people, this class is for you! There will be homework (jokes don't write themselves people), but if you're like me, it is enjoyable 'homework'! Ever since I got my first whoopie cushion, joy buzzer, can of "mixed nuts", disappearing ink, etc., I have been wanting to try stand-up comedy and I'm finally doing it! And Corey's class made it possible! I live in DC but wanted to take a class based in LA, and Corey's class was the only one that had flexibility in combining an in-person class with a virtual one. (I was there in person for the showcase though which is a must)! It was so great watching and laughing with all of my esteemed colleagues each week, and watching everyone's routines blossom into their final (and hilarious) performances at the showcase. In each class, Corey and Andrew provided thoughtful comments to every class member about their schtick, and I for one gobbled up every word. They have the experience and they know what will work and what won't. THANK YOU COREY AND ANDREW! Can't wait to see what's next, I can do it thanks to you guys!! read more

I've been to several Cool Beans comedy shows in the past few years & I always have a blast! The hosts are hysterical & humble, & the comics are a hoot! Always an eclectic group of talent & charisma. Can't wait for the next show & to sign up for a class! read more

If you want to try your hand at stand up, I can't think of a better way than through Cool Beans. Matt and Corey run an outstanding program that nurtures new talent and culminates in a sold out show on the Ice House 2nd Stage (that right there is worth the price of the workshop). These guys are great and the class is well worth it if you want to take a shot at making people laugh. read more

Had a great night with Cool Beans Comedy, all the comedians were hilarious and had me in tears. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely love Cool Beans Comedy! I have been hooked on this free comedy show at Ice House since finding out about it and haven't missed one since. You never know who all the comedians are gonna be; sometimes they are newbies (this last time there was a high school student that Corey Craig, the producer, mentors and had brought out) and sometimes they are experienced (they were taping a special for one of the comedians another time). Regardless of who is performing, I always leave with a smile on my face. Keep in mind that even though the tickets are free, there is a 2 drink minimum so it's not 100% free but still a great deal. read more

Awesome show! Great group of comedians that are funny and give their all on stage. I had a chance to meet Corey who is the producer of the show and he is just as funny off stage as he is in his performance. This is definitely a show you don't want to miss! read more

Really great school! 2 different perspectives from 2 great comedians! I killed it in my grad show!

Great night of comedy! We went wanting to laugh and have a fun time and this exceeded our expectations. Most of the comics were on fire and I liked that they played off the audience. We are already talking about going next time. Great for groups and wedding parties too! read more

I have been to 4 shows hosted by Cool Beans Comedy and they have always made me cry of laughter. They host some of the big names in comedy and they also film live specials. I had the chance to experience two live tapings. They raffle VIP tickets to Warner Bros. studio tours. If you are looking for something to do, take someone on a date, or simply have a good laugh, make sure to visit one of Cool Bean's show. read more

Cool Beans Comedy - Selfie before a Cool Beans Show @ the Ice House in Pasadena. - Performing Arts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Speaking as a performer who has done this show a number of times, I can say that Cool Beans is the greatest standup show I have ever done. The audiences are outstanding and very eager to have a good time. On top of that the performers are always treated with respect and gratitude. Corey runs a really fun show, and you can tell when the audiences are leaving that they feel like they got their money's worth. I always look forward to performing at Cool Beans. read more

Although I live in Pasadena, I have never been to The Ice House. I got an invite recently to attend the Cool Beans Comedy and I have since realized what I have missed all these years. Corey and the crew know how to rock the show, and they always present new materials, so you can be sure of a refreshing experience every time. read more

Amazing! I went to high school with Corey Craig. He was a goofy ass kid who had the makings of someone who could do comedy, but I never thought it would come to a point where he produced these shows with such hilarious comedians. I was very impressed with everything, and I am definitely looking forward to the next performance. Kick Ass Job! read more

This has always been a great comedy show with awesome comedians. I have been going since it started. I like the Ice House better than any other comedy clubs in Los Angeles. It's easy to get to and easy to leave. I don't have to wait one hour while the valet looks for my car. There is always parking. Always a good seat and a great atmosphere. The producer of the show is just a nice, honest, hardworking guy, which is shocking since this is Los Angeles. read more

Arguably one of the finest comedy shows in LA. Pro comics from tv, film, stage. Show is diverse and fun and respectful..I love being a part. Corey Craig knows how to produce a fine show (and is a solid comic, too!). read more

Love this show! A secret gem in the comedy scene! Cool Beans always books the best comics and the overall vibe of the show is incredibly positive and fun. read more

I've been to several shows now, and they have all been side-splittingly funny! The comics are amazing and the crowds always full of energy. Great show to share with friends or on a date night. Can't wait for the next show!! read more

Always my favorite night of comedy in LA -- one of the best places to see comics on the verge of greatness. I've discovered more awesome new standups here than at any other single show -- which I especially appreciate as someone without a TV at home, who relies entirely on live performance to know what's going on in the comedy world. Cool Beans also gets major brownie points for consistently representing diversity in all imaginable forms. Bonus points for the free candy -- that's the express route to my heart! read more

Best comedy showcase I've been to, really had some amazingly talented comics one after another with a fun environment and great hosts that keep everything moving and laughing. I really enjoyed the entire show and the food was pretty damn good too, looking forward to going again. read more

A bunch of us went last Sunday night and saw this FUNtastic comedy show. We all laughed so much. It's a MUST see...Don't miss it.

Cool Beans is the best! Their 6 week Stand Up class is an incredibly supportive environment for new comics as well more experienced comics looking to write new material. I had a such good time working with Matthew Moore and Corey Craig. They're both hilarious and great teachers. See their shows and/or take their class! read more

Have you ever found yourself making New Years resolutions like, "I'm going to do things that make me uncomfortable so I can thrive. NEW YEAR, NEW ME."? Well this was the case for me when I decided to take The Cool Beans U Stand-Up Comedy Intensive course. This 5 week, nerve wracking course was the best thing to happen to me since I found out Matt Bomer was gay. Matthew Moore was a wonderful teacher- and you're not going to find a emcee for any comedy show quite like him, he's really good. Corey Craig is one hell of a producer, he was so helpful and supportive and honestly puts on one of the best shows in town. If you haven't had the pleasure of attending a Cool Beans Comedy hosted show, you really must see for yourself- it's curated perfectly, such a wonderful mix of comics. I look forward to attending another show! read more

Great show! Matthew Moore is HYSTERICAL!!!! I laughed so hard I might have to bill Cool Beans Comedy for my Juvederm injections to correct those laugh lines. read more

I have been to my fair share of stand-up nights supporting friends, and this is the best one I've been to, hands down. While at a usual stand-up night you get the gamut from hilarious to frighteningly bad, this particular comedy show was 100% great. Every single comic was VERY funny. I'm going back next month, since I know it'll be a great time guaranteed- their line up is carefully chosen! read more

First time here, and I definitely recommend it! FUNNY peeps! 'Twas a good night full of lots of laughter & good company. And, I'm pretty sure that my abs are tighter & stronger than they were before, due to all that laughing! read more

Cool Beans Comedy has some of the funniest comedians ever. Corey and Matt are amazing in bringing comedy full force. I am still laughing from the last show, and all my guests continue to thank me for inviting them. Great place to take friends and family. If you have not laughed in awhile, check out Cool Beans Comedy. read more

Corey is hilarious and he always has comedians that bring the funny! He also has give-aways at his shows that other clubs rarely do. You won't be disappointed at a 'Cool Beans' show! read more

Saw this show for the second time a couple weeks ago...gut busting funny! A great group of comedians both times. Love the M.C., Matthew Moore, he knows how to charge up the audience and keep the laughs going. Gotta hand it to producer Corey Craig for putting together awesome shows and hanging out after, class act. My lovely Mrs. and I will definitely be going to the next one. read more
