    A 10/10, if you haven't been you must go!! You will not be disappointed! Lmao! We got called on stage for shots! Seriously the best time!

    The Laugh Factory needs to do better 2 drink minimum was ok, ordered chips ran out of salsa as per #jason. That's totally unacceptable also there needs to be more of a selection of appetizers. The service #jason provided, was ok for what he had to work with. The decor needs to be updated could use some TLC. Amanda Seales made me forget about all of the things that happened with her great show. No photos or videos allowed was only able to capture these images.....

    Very strange experience. We've been to the one in Vegas a few times and this place was odd. We bought show tickets online and showed up 10 minutes before show. Came on a Saturday night...there were maybe 4 people there already. The bouncer, greater, seat assigner was very rude, no other way to explain it. I had to flag someone down for drinks. They don't enforce any 2 drink minimum as the gals sitting next to us had only water the whole time. Sounded like they were giving free tickets away to people walking by. It did fill up a little bit. Maybe 25 people total. Sounded like there were many family members of the headliner comedian. A few of the comedians were entertaining but I would skip this spot.

    Rog was funny af for a gay guy! Had me laughing the whole time! This was a great experience and props to all the comics tonight!

    The two baldest men we've ever Seen.

    We laughed so hard we actually cried. And then we laughed so much more. Such a great time!

    The place is pretty small. The seating in here is pretty crappy unless your close to the stage. But even then if you are sitting where theirs a pillar it can blocks your view you have to toggle back and forth with your head depending on where the comedian is on the stage to see them. Especially if they walk from once side of the stage to the other. Also the bartender recommended ordering at the beginning of the show but I wanted to order later in the show and I couldn't order because there was no bartender to be found. I was so thirsty being in there because it was quite humid so I stayed dehydrated most of the show. Menu is pretty minimal. They do not sell food here. I suggest grabbing a bite before or after the show. Also restroom is really small and gets busy. So I'd recommend going before the show or right before it ends. Otherwise your going to be waiting in a crammed line in a small space. Also leaving is a pain. It's all due to the small space and only one exit. I would also say from my experience here it seems that this is a spot where comedians test out new material. Which is fine but the show may not be what your expecting so I wouldn't have extremely high expectations unfortunately. I have yet to see an amazing set here!

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.

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.

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.
