This spot is great!! And has been a serious contribution to the old town Covina area. I've been here several times over the past 6-8 months and have never left disappointed. LG always has a great variety of comedians on stage. The food and drinks are overall decent Service is great but can be a little slow as there is a two item minimum per person with only 3-4 servers and 2 bartenders. There is quite a few parking lots within the area so you're sure to find one within walking distance. It's always a great time at the Laugh factory The ambiance is chill but it can get a little tight in the Golden circle; front row. read more

First visit and had a wonderful experience. Small, intimate venue with decent acoustics, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. Located in the heart of downtown Covina. On street parking can be tough to find, but there are several free, City-owned parking lots within 2 blocks. They have limited food and cocktail service throughout the show. Standard theater style seating, as well as lounge table seating in the VIP area, and balcony seating. There is an elevator available to get to the balcony. We went to see Charo in concert, and she was fantastic. What an entertainer! Our waitress was wonderful, and the cocktails were well made. We didn't try any food, but the folks sitting around us had chips and guacamole and said it was good. We would definitely come back to see another show or stand-up comedy. read more

. Mostly shex and race jokes. Not my taste. + But some hilarious anecdotal jokes. + As the corner audience guy was having the time of his life and repeating the comedian's words, the comedian stopped and looked back and said to us "Is there an echo here?" lmao - Slow line wait out the door. The 1.5 hr event started at 7pm. The slow-moving line stretched between 6:30-7:15pm. + Despite nearing max capacity, thankfully the staff were still able to seat us. + Parking structure is free on weekends. - 2-item purchase required. . Auditorium size is medium. - Wish they capped the tix sooner so they wouldn't have to push any 7pm ppl to the 9:30pm show. People leaving their homes early got their time wasted. + Decent inside ambience. - Not sure about the parking structure ambience. Lotta ppl watching me as I mind my own business. + The waitress taking everyone's orders and keeping track of all the tabs in order during the show did so well. She's attentive and organized. We had 2 water bottle + diet coke + fish & chips + tax + tip = $31 Supposing the coke & food contributed ~$15, that leaves each H2O about $7 a pop. ...Their water bottle is expensive. read more

First time attending this venue for Willie Barcena Located in old town Covina Parking available in the structure Different tiers of tickets available General, vip, golden Smaller intimate venue. Lower level appears to be stadium style seating with cushion seats and there are some designated tables and appears for a upper level Line up outside and tickets will be scanned inside. An attendant will take yall to your seated area 2 item minimum per person. Appetizers, non alcoholic drinks, and alcoholic served They do try to buss during the show so you are not with your empty items around you The show overall was hilarious. 3 comedians and the main headliner. Ended after 11:45pm! And Willie even did give away after the show and small meet and greet session Definetly explore the surrounding area before waiting in line! Very quaint cozy venue. Would certainly return back. read more

We came here for a Charo concert. She was amazing. The sound was great also. It was a very small venue with seats at the bottom and viewing at the top. Not sure if there were seats at the top. Lucky for us that the people around us didn't stand up during the show or we weren't able to see. Sometimes the people in front of us would stand when giving applauses but at least they sat back down afterward. The server was nice, but once the concert starts, unless you're VIP , she can't pay much attention to you. The seating situation for general admission is so narrow anyway so it's hard for her to navigate around. My suggestion is that if you're GA make sure you get what you need first. It's a 2 item minimum per person per show but the food and drinks are affordable. Bathroom location is odd and confusing. Once you go through the doors to where it says bathroom, you still got to go down to the end of the hall. Ignore the other doors you see in the hallway. Parking wasn't so bad. It's all street parking, but lot parking if you're lucky. Would definitely come back here again for other shows. read more

Got free tickets to a 7pm Friday night showing and had an AMAZING time! They serve food and alcohol, all at very reasonable prices. There's a two item minimum per person, which is not a huge requirement. The two hours show went by quickly because the comedians were super funny and kept us laughing from beginning to end. The revenue was very clean and there's free parking available on the street, and well as at the rear parking structure. Since it's located in the heart of downtown Covina, there's a huge selections of bars for you to kill time before & after the show. Laugh Factory is definitely a 8/10! read more

The Laugh Factory stands out for its theater/orchestra style seating. There's private seating/VIP as well as seating on the actual stage. We visited on 9/6 and saw 4 comedians. It was pretty cool, just wish the sets lasted longer. Sean Grant was hilarious! He was super personable as well and allowed us to take a photo with him. Tickets were around 120 for two, with a 2 drink minimum. We also ordered chips and salsa, which was pretty good. Very cool venue with ample parking in the back. Can't wait to go back! read more

We really liked the decor, an old art deco design movie theater from many years ago, with a good design and upgrades. The comedians were decent, with Sean Grant being the best one- he went on last. Two drink minimum, as is usual at comedy clubs. We were on the VIP list, Two at a table on the upper deck on the side. We really liked the seating, as it was private. We will return soon- we liked the bars and restaurants along the street from the club. The only thing that I didn't like was that we spent over $120 for our seats and the show was barely one hour. Perhaps add a bit more time to the sets, so we can finish our drinks. read more

This was my first time in downtown Covina and we stopped by to see our friend do some standup comedy. This has to be one of the smallest theaters I've ever been to but they also offer upstairs balcony seating. We were hungry so we ordered chicken strips with fries and some beers. The food wasn't bad at all especially when you are hungry and the bottled beers are priced between 7 and 9 bucks. Good times and we had fun especially with free Eventbrite tickets. read more

Just a mess getting into the venue, seated, ordering the required food and beverages. Hurry up and wait attitude.

The venue is amazing. They revamped the old school theatre into a venue that shows mostly comedy shows. Laura and Harry are outstanding hosts. They really go the extra mile to make sure their patrons are having a great time. Laura saw that we had a limited view up in the balcony and moved us up to the gold circle seats on the stage. She really made the night special for us. My wife really took a liking to her. We will definitely be back soon for future events! read more

Found parking behind the building at the structure and it was free. My sister invited me to the Laugh Factory to see Erik Rivera. I had no idea who he was, but by the end of the show I was a fan. The theater is really nice and I asked my sister if she had been here before and she said she saw the film Grease here, back when it was a movie theater! They oversold the show and we just barely made the cut and got a table inside towards the back. It was a great view and we were able to eat and drink with enough room for everyone. Page with the cool hair was our server and she was very attentive. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and it came with buffalo sauce instead of marinara. I asked one of the younger guys handing out everyone's food to please get me marinara instead and he said something about the chef and then walked off and never returned with the correct dipping sauce. I'm not a fan of eating at comedy clubs, but I'll do it since there's a two item minimum, but the fact that the guy just walked off and not come back with an apology or the correct sauce is enough for me to just stick to water. Overall, great venue, the host and the comedians were excellent, Page was a great server, but the food was lacking. read more

So glad this place opened in Covina because it was definitely needed. Laura and Harry are amazing and you can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone is having a good time. They're always present, always on it, and they run a tight ship while still keeping the vibe fun and welcoming. The lineups are consistently strong and it's become one of the best spots for a night out when you just want to relax and laugh. The room has great energy and the shows are well paced, so there's never a dull moment. Yes, there's a two-drink minimum, but that's standard for comedy clubs and the prices for drinks and food are right in line with what you'd expect at a live show. Totally fair for the experience you're getting and it helps support the performers and the venue. Shoutout to Jamie at the Hollywood location too. Same level of professionalism and execution. Both venues do a great job and it shows they know what they're doing across the board, including the Las Vegas location. Everyone needs more laughter and this place delivers. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a fun night with good comedians and a well-run show. read more

Comic Willie Barcena the absolute BEST !!! A must see show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, where to begin.. Well it's first come first serve seating so get there early if you want to get seats in closer to the front. Unless you get VIP seats, you go in a separate line that gets to go in first. The place it self was nice, cozy, and kind of cramped. It can get cold so bring a jacket if you get cold easily. This place requires you to buy two things off their menu. Which.. honestly kind of threw me off because you have only one cup holder and if you're not sitting in the front you don't have a table so you if you want to order food then you don't really have space to enjoy your food. But I ended up getting two drinks a $6 virgin margarita and $6 ginger beer. Which I didn't really enjoy having to hold a cold drink in a super cold theatre after coming in from the cold rain. The service was not bad but I heard a server tell some other customers as they were paying that their bill "didn't include tip." The whole two items required per person really just threw me off because I came for the comedy and we didn't want to be rude and refuse drinks.. because would they kick us out for not wanting to order? I'm not sure and I didn't want to find out. And on top of that, the server was pressuring some people to tip? It just didn't feel very welcoming read more

The show was great the comedians were funny. The service was good both waitresses worked through out the show to get your two drinks served before the show was over. Well done ladies They don't accept cash fortunately for me my friend had a card. Would go again. read more

So nice to have a comedy place nearby. We enjoyed the show, the seating area (no bad seats), and service. We only had beer and shared some chicken tenders and fries, which were okay...nothing to brag about. Their menu is limited, so future outings we'll have drinks only. Our server was friendly and prompt. The comedians were funny and we plan to go back. read more

What an amazing place!!! Just watched our 3rd show .. this one was the Frankie Quinones show!! SUPER FUNNY! Can't wait for our next one. Can't say enough good things about the staff too!! Super helpful and willing to listen. Thanks again Laugh Factory, Covina.. see you soon read more

The ambiance was very mellow and the audience was small, making it very intimate. The food was good and the customer service was great.

Ralph Garmin & Kevin Smith 1/22 Yeah I was there, next to an intoxicated couple smashing our legs and feet. So glad they had left. But, not being able to enjoy the show because of their messy bs was annoying. First, we did arrive early. This place is small.... How small is it? I'm 5'3 my husband is 6'2 and even my poor feet got stepped on & Im petite. The service: I really think for a sold out show they could've managed this better. Offer VIP 60 minute head start, allow them drink's food service... then the next rush of orders 30 minutes before show. What they did instead was open doors I believe right at 9pm or 9:30p got slammed with drink order and orders that well, it took a while to get. Your food orders are passed along like an assembly line from the end to you. One women was a bit sassy to the servers because they were talking to her in the show about her food. A hint of sass, "yeah I know" def uncalled for. The waitresses do walk in between narrow paths between the seats, during a show and in most cases bending over in my lap where my husbands hands were. It's not their fault or his just giving a reference of how tight the spacing was. Seating: for general admission even though it's first come first serve. You are directed on where and how to be seated. Observation: VIP- I'd rather be comfortable sitting in the back with a table than in the front, sides of stage, or on the stage. If I'm being honest for a few of the ladies they looked incredibly uncomfortable. The guys didn't mind. personally I don't like too much attention, and sitting in the back at stage level is just the right amount of privacy and engagement for a show here. The prices are pretty decent especially having a 2 item minimum. We ordered two non alcoholic drinks and a chicken wrap. It was good, but nothing special. Covina at night is a bit rough both the people and their lifestyle. I particularly did not feel too safe in the parking structure def A LOT of people just sitting in their cars SUS. This vibe was harmless but came off a tad aggressive. I would def give this place another try knowing how parking is late at night. You can park on the main strip which may have avoided seeing some of that. Overall the LF is a great alternative for a 20 minute drive! I was happy...we got good seats, good service, $2 parking, and they had great AV for a sold out show! read more

My lady got tickets for this Sunday for Phil Medina and the location is great venue small but every seat is great location. We were seated on the stage and it was amazing experience.

Parking is free behind the building garage and place to walk around to bars and food spots. read more

This was my first time performing here, and I have never felt so welcomed at a club! The management was incredibly hospitable and kind, even taking the time to show me around before the show. The professionalism of the staff and the way they treat their "Court Jesters" (comics) is truly top-notch. My wife and the 15 friends we invited had nothing but positive feedback about the service and the line-up. They even laughed at my jokes! I'll give myself "the light" so I don't write a novel, but I just want to say thank you. I plan on not only attending more shows, but I also hope to perform here again soon. Bottom line: the ambiance, food, and service are on par with a great theater, and the awesome stage presence made the night unforgettable. @thetyroneg read more

Laugh Factory - Watched other comics after my set. - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Covina, California

I came here a few times for some comedy shows and the comedians always give a good show but the service for the food is very poor. I ordered hummus and pita and I already had 3 drinks before my food came out. The best place to sit is the private V.I.P area up top because it's more roomy compared to the general area and it has its own bathrooms. One and don't forget they have a 2 item minimum so you have to make a purchase so that is what I believe they should be more speedy when it comes to food services. read more

Had general admission tickets to see Saturday nights show. As we're lining up to have our tickets collected by Laura we get told we've been upgraded to VIP booth upstairs for free and to follow a gentleman up the stairs to be seated. Opening acts come on, there's a two item minimum we order with our waitress Sarah. About 30-45 minutes into the show Laura frantically approaches our group and says the ppl who bought the VIP seats are here and we need to move. She gave us options which were to sit on stage or to sit in the back to watch the show via the TV monitors. The whole show was a sold out so there was no more floor seating and that she said there were 10 other ppl after my group of 4 wait listed for open seats. My group was hesitant to sit on stage bc it's a comedy show and ppl up close may be called out by comedians which wasn't something we wanted to deal with. As my group was trying to figure out what to do bc another option was to split our group up. We took too long for Laura because she then tells us she's going to have to call security to kick us out if we dont make a decision RIGHT NOW. HUH? We had tickets to see this show and because Laura doesn't know how to manage the seating chart by giving away seats that shouldnt be given away we're being threatened to be kicked out?? I was pissed. We bought these tickets to see this show and by poor planning on her part we're now being threatened to get kicked out bc we didn't answer fast enough. John and other John attempted to salvage the situation for us but at this point I'm done. We're missing the show and if I wanted to watch the show on TV I could've stayed at home and watch YouTube clips with a better experience. John gave us comp tickets to any other show and gave us 10 percent off our drinks (bc the drink money goes to the comedians). So thanks John yout efforts were appreciated but I'm not going back. read more

Laugh Factory - View from the "VIP" seating. Not worth it. Seats are too far deep. - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Covina, California

Saw Carlos Mencia . Still got it!!!. Made us wait outside forever. But cool spot. Close and personal. 2 drink minimum.

I have been to the Laugh Factory several times. I have yet to have a bad experience. The staff, drinks, food, and overall vibes are amazing. I have met Sarah, who was so kind and professional, making the experience even more memorable. I always have a great time, full of laughs with my partner or family. I highly recommend the box seats for date night (group of 2) or the VIP for a group of 4, it's definitely worth the splurge! read more

I just want to share how impressed I am with the way Harry and Laura, the managers at the Laugh Factory, handled our recent concern. They reached out right away, listened, and made sure the solution stood out more than the problem itself. I'm very pleased with how professional and caring they were. The laugh factory has an excellent staff and it shows by how excellent their management is and cares about the guest experience. Sarah was actually a great server throughout the night, aside from the very end when she declined to take a photo for our group. But overall, we had a great time, and thanks to the way management handled things, we're looking forward to going back to the Laugh Factory for another show. read more

My group and I came to see Concrete. It was a group of 12 people, the venue is small and felt intimate. Parking was easy, as you'll find parking along Citrus Ave and the parking structure.

We weren't allowed to film the show but that's understandable. I will return for another show. read more

First time coming to this Laugh Factory since they opened and it was for the NYE event. There was a note on the tickets that recommended arriving 30-45 min early so my friend and I arrived at 9pm. Once we got in the door and checked in, we were quickly given someone to walk us to our seats, which were VIP booth in the balcony. He directed us to the bathroom in case we needed it. There were two party hats on the table in front of our booth. One said happy new year as a crown and one was a top hat. All were party favor style material. We placed our orders. I got the Cheese Quesadilla w/Salsa, Guac and chips. I asked for sour cream and the waitress responded with we only have what's on the menu. I was very disappointed as I always eat my quesadilla with sour cream. I think my friend saw my disappointment as I was thinking what should I order instead so she said I saw some on our way to the bathroom. The waitress gave an excuse but then stopped herself and said I'll see what I can do. She did come back with the sour cream and I was very happy about that. The quesadilla was good but burned a little bit on the edges. I also ordered mozzarella sticks and water. They were okay. There is no tap water, they will give you a bottled water with a cup of ice. My friend ordered Crispy Chicken Tender Wrap w/Letteuce, tomato, cucumber. She received chips with it. And she also ordered the buddy buddy brownie and water. She ate all her food so I'm guessing it was alright. The food comes in to-go containers and the stool in front of us to use as a table was small so we kept some food on our laps. Note if you're in a booth they won't split the bill, that they'll need one card on file. At midnight they gave us champagne and the party favor you blow into to make noise. The comedians put up a countdown and we all said happy new year to each other. Afterwards they offered karaoke. My friend did a song. The booth seats were comfortable and the place looked clean. Parking was easy. There's street parking or the Covina Civic Center parking garage around the corner that has plenty of space. The address is 124 E College St, Covina, CA 91723 read more

Laugh Factory - Happy New Year! - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Covina, California

Was going to give this place 3 stars cause there's big pros but also lots of negatives to the experience. However, getting overcharged on my last visit (no matter the amount, cuz it's a small amount) didn't sit well with me, so it's down to 2 stars. I've been to 4 shows in the last couple months and my biggest take away after 4 shows is: your experience will be largely influenced by where you sit. Let's get into it. PROS: 1. TALENT: I've been to Rene Vaca, Lady Bunny, Concrete and Chona E. Everyone and their openers are always a hit and some do meet and greet after. A+ for the talent. 2. LOCATION: Having a Laugh Factory out of LA traffic and so accessible is such a pro. Parking is easy and DTCo has a lot to offer. 3. SIZE: The venue is so small that anywhere you sit ON THE BOTTOM, it's gonna be a good view. The GA seats are sufficient. 4. STAFF: The staff has always been very attentive and friendly to us. The layout is tough for them and the'yre trying to get 2 orders in for everybody so, we get it. CONS: They all tie in to each other. 1. LAYOUT: This places biggest downfall is the layout. Which effects the seating, comfort, experience, everything. Basically, the place was renovated as performing arts theatre in the early 2000s. But it wasn't meant to have wait staff going up and down INTO the aisles taking orders and giving food/drinks. With everyone mandated at least 2 things, you can imagine. Every time the wait staff had to go into an aisle, if a person had long hair in the aisle in front, it was pulled. As much as they staff tries to not, the up and down becomes a big distraction. They're IN the aisles, so it's either blocking a view or you're hearing them take an order. They can't crouch down, there's no space. Sometimes they're trying to take orders from 2 aisles down. 2.COMFORT: The seats are old, hard to sit on and more than 1 are broken. A lady sat on her seat and yelped cuz it broke when she sat down. The guy was like "is it broken?" and yelled out at his staff that this seat and another a row below are broken so they don't sit people there. On top of that, they add restaurant style chairs on the sides so if you sit there, you're randomly 3 inch taller than everyone else and there's no cup holders. If you get a drink that is pour over ice, you're holding 2 cups for as long as it takes to finish them. It's giving greedy with no consideration for the experience. 3. SEATING: Pick your poison. The best experience in terms of distractions is the VIP tables at the front but they cost more and you're gonna get a lot of attention on you. GA is affordable but distracting with wait staff, uncomfortable and very hard to get in out for restroom. balcony VIP booths is less distractions more private but the angle is too sharp to see the act unless you're at the edge of the couch, so uncomfortable seating. Any balcony seat beyond the booth, you're watching the monitor. Cant speak on those sniper seats all the way to the edge but they seem the best option, but they're very limited and i think the highest price. LASTLY, the reason it went down a star. I heard them start to close out and they just present the total. So I grabbed the menu and did quick math. The total was higher than estimated, so I took off a little from the tip and got a receipt printed. The root beer is on the menu as $6 but rang up as $8. It's a small amount but it's telling. What else are they potentially jacking up cuz customers are paying blindly. It's dishonesty and I didnt like it. read more

Absolutely a fun, intimate venue where laughs come out. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to sew a old friend perform. The venue is intimate. No seat is safe. Every seat is a good seat. Every seat as a equal opportunity to be made fun of. Either right up in front or on the balcony. It's an old theater. Two item minimum per person is required. We ended up ordering a couple of beers. They bring everything to your seat. Food looked good. Afterwards there are plenty of bars to hit. Free Parking is right behind the venue. read more
