Had tickets for the Desi Banks 10:00 p.m. show on Friday. Arrived around 9:55 p.m. The VIP line was long on Pine Ave. The regular admission line was wrapped around the front of the Pike towards the Nike outlet. It was so long, I'm not sure if all of those people were able to get in. By the time of entry, it was almost 11:00 p.m. The show was over at 12:30 a.m. The show was great, but wasn't expecting that timeline at all. read more

Good place to hangout with friends. Cheap tickets on weekdays. Lots of seating and nice decor. There's a 2 drink minimum but drink prices are very reasonable. Didn't try the food. Decent crowd. Parking is in the lot at the Pike. On the day that we went, 4 out of the 5 comedians were not very funny. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely check out who's performing before you go. read more

I been meaning to come here for ages in fact since it opened but never did and I always wondered if it was good or not or if it had good comics come through A friend of mine wanted to do a stand up show and I hadn't been in ages to one so I was like ok I'm down and I'm double down since it's this location I never been So we went thanksgiving Eve to see a Mario Lopez's produced show with Latin comics As you enter it's cool vibe and feels like a great place but I'll admit once you enter the actual club you quickly notice their seating is pretty bad Like I didn't like the church pew setup and lack of real tables or places to put your drink especially if you don't get a seat inside the church pews so I wasn't too excited about that and since you are required to drink two drinks you may find yourself putting drinks on the floor and it's messy Luckily my friend saw a table against the wall and got up and took it and brought it over to our single seats which by the way are the kind you see at house parties and I'm a big guy so I was worried I'd break that thing lol The beers were room temp and not cold Thankfully Mario Lopez's and his crew provided cold tequila shots but yeah room temp beer is not ideal This why I'm giving it the 3 as overall it could have been better on that front but maybe it was just that show? I'd go again to see if it's a diff experience read more

1-Star Review -- Worst Service Ever The service at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach was absolutely terrible. There was no waitress in sight, and we had to repeatedly ask for someone to take our food order. Each time, we were told, "5 more minutes," but that turned into over an hour of waiting. It was extremely frustrating to pay for an experience and then spend most of the time trying to get basic service. We shouldn't have to repeatedly chase down staff just to order food. The lack of communication and attentiveness was unacceptable. I understand that places can get busy, but over an hour of waiting after repeatedly being told "5 minutes" is simply unacceptable. Management needs to seriously address the customer service and staffing issues because this experience completely took away from what should have been an enjoyable night. read more

Ordered sodas, nachos and cheeseburger, and the service was very professional, and although the cheeseburger was significantly delayed, it was fresh and much larger than expected. Came for laughs and had a great time and had some good food. Food options available highly recommend the nachos. The overall ambience felt very much like a theater with so much history and so many comedians who had performed there before. read more

Laugh Factory - Tania on Stage - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Went to the Laugh Factory in Long Beach last night to see a well-known comedian, Luenell, and the show itself was great! They do a solid job of bringing quality acts to the area, and it's an overall fun venue with good sound and plenty of parking nearby. You can even order food inside & although I didn't try it this time, it smelled amazing. That said, the service could really use some improvement. The line outside was long (understandable for a popular show), but once inside, there just weren't enough bartenders for the crowd. Despite the two-drink minimum, a lot of people weren't approached for orders (including me), and I noticed a few mix-ups from the bar. It's a great spot for comedy and easy to make a night of it with all the nearby restaurants, but I'd love to see them tighten up the service to match the quality of the shows. read more

I've been going to the other laugh Factory locations in and outside of LA for a long time. This was my first time trying Long Beach and I had heard it was crap from someone who had already been. But I decided to go anyways.It was absolute trash. I didn't ask for my money back because I stayed until the end in hopes that finale would makeup for the garbage spectacle prior but I was sadly mistaken. If you are at home and board and this is your only alternative trust me stay home. You'll save yourself precious time, energy and money. We have enough groups of people pushing degeneracy in this world and no matter how you look at it it's not funny it's stupid just like the "comedians" on stage. I walked in Happy and walked out feeling like I just got Mugged. read more

Great time had! Super funny comedians. Service was fast and friendly. Good location. Parking is a little tough but plenty of it. Food was decent. We will be back for some laughs! read more

Good group of comedians with very funny material. Two drink minimum was priced reasonably and seats and view were good. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

The Laugh Factory in Long Beach is a nice venue in a great spot in Downtown Long Beach. Generally affordable admission price. There's also a two drink min, but doesn't have to be alcohol. Service is pretty good and there's no bad spot in the house. Great for a date night or special celebration. Tickets are super easy to order online. Comic lineups can be mixed - expect a mix of talent unless you're there for a big household name. Being a New Yorker I know most famous comedians hone their craft at local comedy clubs so I don't mind a dud or two in the lineup if the remaining comics are good. So many great food options nearby on Pine Ave, the Pike and Shoreline Village. Super walkable. Hyatt Regency across the street if you want to make it a weekend or Staycation getaway. Movie theatres nearby too, as well as the Aquarium and whale watching boat tours. It's one more venue in a lineup of activities in Downtown LB to explore for special occasions and overall fun. A group of us took our girlfriend to the LF for her Birthday on a Saturday night and had a great time. Lots of laughs. Four of the 6 comedians were really funny so it was a fun night overall. read more

Back again for the second time! 2 drink minimum per person. I would like to say they def over charge for their alcohol. We had an old fashion in a shot glass.. now don't get me wrong but there was hardly anything there! 4 old fashions later..and it was $80? How ? They also only had chips and guacamole as an appetizer. Store bought guacamole which was tasty but it doesn't seem like they run a full kitchen. It feels like this place is not doing so well based on one selection of appetizers. read more

Wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. Didn't get any food but got the 2 drink minimum. Our server was really slow. She brought our first drinks then disappeared until last call wtf? The 4 comedians started with the one that had no comedic ability then each one after got a little funnier. The club was clean and seating was ample and comfortable. Laugh Factory in Hollywood was much better. read more

I went on a Friday, and honestly I didn't know any of the comedians. Most of them were pretty rough and I'm usually easy to make laugh. The one exception was this older guy who had me dying from start to finish. Overall, the place feels very hit-or-miss. I probably wouldn't go back unless someone I actually like is headlining. read more

Laugh Factory - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

The comedy show was amazing. The quesadilla was the worst I've had in my life. We asked for extra chicken in advance and when they brought the quesadilla out of four slices half had ZERO chicken and the other two slices had one piece of chicken the size of my pinky nail. It was all cheese and sauce. Avoid that dish at all cost. Other than that the venue and show was dope. Laugh Factory do better. read more

I went to see the luenell's comedy show. The waitresses started with making us purchase 2 drinks at once then The waitress Monica had the worst energy to Be a server, she had the audacity to ask for a tip before she even served she brought my water down drinks I gave her a tip in which she did not deserve, and she didn't even say thank you for the free money I gave her. She then never returned to see if I needed anything else, when I went to find the bar to get my own drink they said the server assigned to your area would have to to get your drinks, as I was speaking to the MOD, the server Monica approached with a very sassy attitude and said " I TOLD YOU I WILL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN I CAN, I VERY BUSY", I just think that attitude was what caused me to feel some type of way, because the other servers were very nice, and apologetic about the service. I do want to commend the MOD because she tried to rectify the situation. read more

Laugh Factory - The laugh factory - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Had a great time. Nice atmosphere, clean, and enjoyed all of the comedians. Can't wait to return.

This is my favorite Laugh factory. its bigger than the Hollywood location, clean restrooms, arrive early both lines get long. Paid parking nearby, street meter parking if you get lucky. read more

The comedy slam was wonderful and the comedians were all on point, my favorite being Lowell Sanders for the night, but I must say as a fellow bartender, the drinks...ahhh... I feel they need to add bitters to the strawberry gin drink drink for flavor. The syrup they used in the strawberry gin and the peach Sour were just so synthetic tasting. Even Rosie's Syrup would have been a better choice than what they chose. Maybe switch the strawberry gin drink to a dirty gin Shirley temple with Rosie's grenadine? That would have a better taste palate. The dark and stormy was decent but I thought it could be much better. Maybe use fever tree ginger beer? It all tasted like Kirkland in the soda water and ginger beer department. For the price to get in at $45 and to have a two drink minimum costing more than $50, the drinks should taste good, they don't have to be outstanding, but not cringy at every sip. I felt like I was back at my college dorm having a party drinking that mix. It was just not the right flavors. I don't blame the bartenders, the presentation of the drinks looked fantastic, it was the ingredients. I'll definitely be back for the comedy. The atmosphere was fantastic, very clean, cool memorabilia, and staff was excellent. read more

False advertisement they claimed Paul Rodriquez would perform an he did not an when asked the manager she was so rude said he come when he wants to that's it read more

This was my first time and it was a week night. Don't really like crowds so I really enjoyed myself. There was the usual comedian photos on the walls and some wax figures here and there that kinda look like whoever they were supposed to be. It was a pretty good size room with plenty of seating and was about half full and we were close. The service was good and the food was very good, but the two drinks I had were okay. I would go back again. read more

Went to hear some good comedy family issues. The front skinny gentleman said F veterans he don't care about don't care what I showed my ID card. He told me I could not enter with my guest that drove a long way to get there I was entry because he told me he was a veteran from the and challenged me almost turned into a the Manager Filipino tall girl came out and said he heard you cussing so we cant let you in but didn't listen to my story and entry to a place and we drove a long way to get there. They do not support veterans like veterans. This is the worst evening. I've had getting out of my house as a 68-year-old disabled veteran hundred percent service connected. They need to be replaced fired just about turned into a big confrontation in front of a lot of people unprofessional people work in there. Don't care if it's a Wednesday ruin my night and that of my family and couple Friends. read more

The space is really cool and convenient. It wasn't super busy which I think changes each experience. Overall it was fun. There is a 2 drink minimum but it can be alcoholic or nonalcoholic. The comedy was funny. read more

Fun experience. Host of that night was funnier than all the other comedians though almost seen a fight break out but I guess that's Long beach. Super cool place nonetheless read more

I love going to live stand up shows, and I've been to the Laugh Factory Long Beach before. I went to Spanglish on Wednesday. What a disappointment! The host is terrible!!! The lineup was not good with the exception of a few comics. Also, Paul Rodriguez was not even there. Get a new host and better comedians. read more

My husband and I went on a Friday night and enjoyed the line up of comedians. The entry process was easy, and waitresses taking your 2 drink minimum orders were polite. We didn't try and nibbles (never saw menus?), and the seating was a bit strange as you can't chose where you want to sit...the hostess places you based on servers. Interior is a bit dated/grungy. Over we would go back again for the comic relief. read more

Laugh Factory - a man on stage speaking to a crowd - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Good entertainment and good drinks. Had a very enjoyable evening and definitely plan to return!

The comics were funny, the servers were great... The female host who was the MC had a bad combination of insulting the audience, and not being funny. There must be somebody you can find who connects with the audience? I have a rule if you're funny, you can get away with being a little edgy. She wasn't the slightest bit funny and was a distraction from the top-notch comedians that were on that evening. I love Maronzio Vance! read more

Went on a Saturday night to watch Tony Rock film his comedy special. Parking is a bit confusing. There are several options. We opted to park in the lot across the street for $20 for the day. They said in confirmation email to arrive a half an hour early for priority seating. Showtime was at 10 o'clock. We arrived around 930 and we waited in line until around 1030 before being let in. Since they were filming the special we had to lock up phones, so no photos of inside the club. I was able to capture a few photos of the lobby before going in. The club has a two drink minimum. As a result of filming you had to order your drinks upfront get them and hold onto them which led to watered down drinks and no place to put them. Some people stated that they were not able to get drinks. the Overall it was a great show, and I will come back for a different experience with a different comic to see how the club usually operates read more

Me and my husband attended this venue lastnight for Tiffany Haddish! She and her guests were funny enjoyed the show. My disappointment was the payment for my seats for vip was not worth it. Why stand in a line separate from GA and still get the same seats ugh! The server was rude.. drinks were good though.. the steps leading to the pathway to the bathroom were too wide,long not enough lighting I tripped x2 hurt my knee.. I am ok but sore. My suggestion just have a flat surface for us old folks I do not think I will attend this venue again unless I get better seats next time with a the price I pay!! read more

What a pleasant first stand up comedy experience for me and my boyfriend! Got some chuckles from these comedians :) Do be aware that there is a 2 drink minimum per person, non alcoholic drinks are also available for non drinkers. I myself got a $5 hot cocoa LOL. NGL The interior kind of gives church vibes HAHA but you forget ab it once the comedians are up. IDK if it was jsut me and my bf but we both thought the lighting on stage was kinda too bright after staring at them for a while LOL. We had to take breaks looking away or we just old lmao. I'll prob take my dad or brother along with me back here. Service is nice :) read more

I like it and would go way more often if they would turn on the AC. Its gets stuffy and hot in there. No air ventilation and although i love fabuloso scent, its a bit much at the end of the show when they start cleaning the restroom. At first i thought maybe it could just be me but other friends have same opinion read more

Had a great time with friends. Good drinks and service and the entertainment was the best. Every actress funny!

I used to love coming here for date night, or with friends then COVID hit. I had purchased a VIP ticket back in 2020 when everything shut down, I found that ticket about a year ago and reached out to the laugh factory to see if I could still use the ticket. Well I was denied, they didn't even offer a discount towards a show, terrible customer service, shows you what they really care about. I guess that's the last time I set foot there. read more

Laugh Factory - The un used VIP ticket - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is the second Laugh Factory I have been too and though it was not as busy as I thought it would be (probably due to the holidays) I enjoyed the intimacy between the comics and audience. The superstar Saturdays are a good way to see a variety of comics, just in case one is just dull the whole time! I guess this location has no food? When I went to the Hollywood location, I remember being able to order food. Thank goodness we ate before hand or else it would have been a miserable time! I think by adding food, it would definitely help drive people to purchase more drinks! read more

Fun! I only got their house wine (there's a 2 drink min) but the space is great for shows.

Love the Spanglish show! Bravo White Boy Scott Wood. He did you all proud. DoubleD girl was just sad. Loved the lineup. Sorry Paul Rodriguez was sick. Get well soon! read more

I took my boyfriend here as part of his birthday package. We always talked about going to a comedy show and I've been to the Laugh Factory in Long Beach with friends! I decided to come back since I've had such a great experience before. I went online at (http://www.laughfactory.com/clubs/long-beach) to purchase our tickets. The process was easy and fast! We showed up on the date about 10 minutes early, showed our tickets at the front and was directed to sit anywhere. The comedians were so uniquely hilarious in their own way and the waiters/waitresses were very nice. We had a great experience! read more

The comics get an easy 5 stars! They were all awesome last night. The atmosphere is great and seats are comfortable. Yelp has a check in offer if you have a profile for a free ticket. My friend and I planned on using that but when I got to the door, I was informed you are required to call ahead and tell them you are going to use that check in offer. They did not allow me to use it so I had to step off to the side with about 6 other people to quickly set up a profile online and pay for tickets. There's no box office here that sells them. That whole process seemed a little weird to me. The food options they have are salsa, guacamole and artichoke dip. The artichoke dip was our absolute favorite, I would skip the salsa next time. Guac was okay. The lady working the front door last night (August 18th at 10pm) was extremely rude to other people and to me. She needs basic customer interaction training before working in that position. The way she was speaking to people was so cringy. read more

Last night was the first time I've been to the Long Beach location. I live in the neighborhood so it was a breeze to get there. I sat right in the front and loved giving feedback to the comedians. My server was polite and my drink was tasty. I had a good time and the line up with well thought out. read more

Had such an amazing time with my BF! I definitely scored brownie points ;P The staff were super helpful and courteous. We did not have food. Drinks were a bit pricey but what isn't now these days. The ambiance is as expected for a comedy club. Seating was perfect, not too close to be called on lol.. We are definitely making plans to return sooner than later. Thank you Long Beach, Saturday night 7pm showing (11/9/24), comedians you all were hilarious!! read more
