I came here for a comedy show for my friend & comedian Lil Rel. He started a comedy night on…read moreTuesdays, and it was an absolute BALL! I was able to find street parking. There are some stairs to get up, but it was very spacious and had a lively ambiance! The comedians were hilarious, and I could definitely see myself coming on consistent Tuesdays with a lineup like that! It felt more underground than the more mainstream comedy spots, which was refreshing & felt like the comedians were hungrier! The service was great, but my only complaint would be a lack of food options. I believe they only had popcorn and perhaps a pretzel. That definitely wasn't sufficient for me for the time we were there! But food aside, it was a great spot and I definitely see myself returning!

Been here twice. First time was okay, drinks were good and…read morethey allowed me to Uber Eats some food into the establishment, since food isn't sold here. Ended up ordering some pizza and wings, to enjoy the comedians. Second time was a little better, hence the 4 stars. I think this place would be an amazing 5 star location, if they sold food. Customer service is okay, and they only had 1 server on hand. I wish they would have closed the rear windows by the reserved tables, it was raining and the back of my neck was getting wet. Overall, I'd give this place another try, I like the whole layout of the place, and the comedians are funny as hell. #1 Sell food That's it. Only downside.

It's honestly one of those places that never disappoints and is always worth visiting when you're in LA. Even on a weekday which I feel most ppl wouldn't expect. The staff is great, but one tip: order both of your drinks right at the beginning of the show. Once the comedians come out, service can slow down a bit, and you'll definitely want your drinks ready so you can just sit back and enjoy. I come here at least a few times a month and it's always worth it however because I come often I sometimes wish they didn't always have a 2 drink minimum.

I watched a couple refuse to buy a drink and no one made them or removed them. The lines to get in are long but they move fast. Valet is $18 but you don't know where they take your car. The sound system could use improving as well. When the comedian gets loud the sound got staticky at times. Overall, it gets the job done but don't have high expectations.

Seemed to be all ages from 21, to an older crowd 55+, which was nice to see all ages come together and have fun. The drinks are very WEAK. And for the price you'd expect more. With that being said, probably best to pre game if you plan to drink or stick to the canned beverages they can't water down. Also parking sucks! Come early to try and get a street spot or uber if you can.

Don't we all need a good laugh every once in a while? In my case I need a good laugh every day. A…read morefriend of mine had 2 tickets that she purchased online and asked me to join her. We went to see different comedians last night and were very satisfied with the service and the ambiance. It is fairly a small venue with good vibes, good times, good energy, great comedians, and last but not least, great hosts. I believe there were 5 to 6 comedians for last night's show that started exactly on time. We weren't that hungry, but since the 2 item is required we got couple of drinks, Chicken Street Tacos, a burger & Garlic Fries. Obviously we shared them all. The Garlic Fries stole the show for both of us. I have been to this lovely comedy club in the past and saw some of my favorite comedians: Arsenio Hall, Dave Chappelle, Daniel Tosh, Margaret Cho, Sebastian Maniscal's and Craig Robinson. Once you enter the venue, they take away your phones, lock them up and after the show, you will get them back. Excellent comedians, we had a good laugh, place was very clean and so were both bathrooms, full bar. They charge $18 for valet, but we parked on the street. Go check out this place if you already haven't. As some of us know, "laughter is the BEST medicine". Thank you all very much for a lovely time & great hospitality!!

The house band, The Dynasties, are the best live band in the LA comedy scene -- they play hot bitchin jazz, add musical cues for the comics, and will generally make your week better. This is a place that comedians want to hang out. Craig Robinson might show up for a surprise musical set and take requests from the audience while you all sing together. Sarah Silverman might sit on the floor with flash cards of her new jokes and run them by you. Reggie Watts might drop by and crank out some skat poetry and vocalization whimsy. You might hear a live theramin performance, or a rendition of Dolly Parton's Jolene on a musical saw. Not a bad seat in the house, staff are welcoming and friendly. Fun merch, and popcorn combos with the perfect blend of sweet and salty toppings to satisfy your munchies. You'll be laughing from the moment the sound booth tells you to silence your cell phone to the moment you walk back into the world to your car. Proprietors Vanessa Ragland and Jamie Flam the hosts of their flagship Saturday night special, Dynasty Tonight, will delight you with the impressive combo of hilarity and empathy, making every night feel like a hangout with your funniest pals. The venue is intimate in a way that makes you feel like a part of a community, and reminds you that perhaps there is still some hope for humanity. You'll definitely want to be that cool person to "discover" this place and take the rest of your friend group.

The building is old school opened in 1926 as a Vaudeville house so it's always been entertaining. It's had different iterations over the years, most recently the Hayworth Theatre. Then in 2018 it officially became Dynasty Typerwriter Now the theater is in Westlake, right next to MacArthur Park where many of Los Angeles' unhomed population lives. So yes you can search and find street parking, but if you have a nicer car it may be better to just not risk it and park in the nearby parking garage - 611 S Carondelet Street. Rideshare is ideal though. It's a small theater (200 seats) so if you are hoping for a close up seat to see better or get in on some crowd work, you should arrive when doors open. I am quite the opposite and enjoy a good view, but sitting far outside of the crowd-work arena! Give me a good seat on the side back a few rows and I'm happy. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE crowdwork, just not aimed at me. I've seen Tig Notaro and Marc Maron here - obviously both great shows and I enjoyed them! When you sit in the seat, prepare for a little trip. They glide! haha It's kind of weird but kind of fun that they slide a bit but I see it shocking everyone when they first sit down so prepare yourself. They are the kind of seats that start hurting after sitting for an hour so my fellow ADHD peoples, prepare to do a lot of shifting in your seat. They have good canned beer options, including a couple of NA which is nice. Also full concession stand for snacks, including their special popcorn. Staff is friendly and I always enjoy this venue! I will absolutely be back.
