I just happened to be in San Fran and saw that this club was a few blocks away. This place is…read moredifficult to find. You see a stairwell from the street, then walk up and see this building. Keep walking around, then you'll see the signs and the entrance where you enter security and a metal detector. Inside you'll see a typical comedy club, a bar, cocktail tables and a stage. I had the vodka strawberry lemonade served in a cocktail shaker, which I kept. There's a 2 drink minimum, which is standard for almost all comedy clubs. The show was hilarious! I had a great time and I was totally solo.

Luckily, they were able to hold it in their kitchen during the performance. The venue is clean and easy to get to via public transit. My only complaints are the prices of the nonalcoholic drinks. I hate that all the major comedy clubs have a two-drink minimum. I'd rather just tack on $20 to the ticket price. That being said, Cobb's does have better options for non-drinkers like me.

Recently saw the Sunday night comedy show and enjoyed it well enough. Compared to San Diego comedy…read moreclubs, Cobb's is HUGE! But you still get a good view of the entertainers if you're at least in closest 2/3rds of the theater. The $25 show lasted about 1 hour 40 minutes, and had 4 female comedians, or about $7.50 per a comedian...that's pretty good deal! All the comedians were great in their on own styles. The 2 drink minimum is normal, but seemed a bit more strictly enforced. $16 for 24oz hard seltzer seemed heinous, but pretty standard for an entertainment venue in San Francisco...my 2nd drink was a $6 club soda. After tax and tip it all showed up as $28.48 on my credit card somehow. $22 Total X 1.08625 sales tax = $23.90. $28.48 - $23.90 = $4.58 Tip or roughly 21% that was chosen for me, which seemed excessive for canned drinks. Couldn't find the wait staff after the show and I didn't have the energy, oh well.

It's easy to get to, and the cable car runs right by the club, making it a convenient stop while exploring the city.

My partner and I had a great time during each set. Lots of jokes about tech, dating, AI, and homeless folks. You know, the SF standard. With that said, the bar is intimate. Every seat is a good seat so you will likely be part of the show in some way (no hiding here!). If you are easily offended, maybe stop by the bar first to loosen up before you settle in for the show. Our drinks were creative and there is something for everyone. My favorite was the Tropic Thunder (pina colada vibes) and espresso martini. I would definitely recommend to catch a show, bring your sense of humor, and support this club.

Bonus: You can bring food from the Mediterranean restaurant next door. And comfy chairs. I'm a storyteller & I know it's hard getting a good read on your audience, but all of the comics were good in their own right. I look forward to seeing their careers develop. It takes courage to take the stage & jokes fall flat sometimes, & other times it insights nervous laughter. Kudos to all of them. I will definitely come back.

I was really disappointed with my experience…read more My group paid extra for VIP tickets and arrived on time, expecting premium seating. Instead, we were placed off stage left of the stage in the back, while the entire front-center section and Stage Right were still empty. I honestly thought it was a mistake, so I asked about it, but I was told those were the only seats available. The frustrating part? Three people who met us later paid just $20 at the door and were seated Stage Right in much more comfortable seats with a better view. To make matters worse, guests who arrived after us were served their food before our table. Our seating was extremely uncomfortable. I had to sit with my legs stretched straight out, turned to the right for the entire show just to see the stage, while constantly trying to avoid servers and guests walking by. And my water was lukewarm, not even iced. If you're thinking about paying for VIP, I honestly wouldn't recommend it based on my experience. My advice: Save your money. Skip the VIP tickets, show up later, and you may end up with better seats than those who paid extra. It certainly happened to us.

We got there early -- there were maybe 5 tables occupied. Ordered the mandatory 2 items per person, plus 2 waters. Popcorn and nachos came (no napkins), then drinks (no water). We asked for the water again, plus napkins. Never came. We saw other tables getting water, not us. After waiting about an hour and a half from the first ask, I just went up to the bar myself. Toward the end of the show, the checks are usually handed out a little early, collected early, and people can get outta there as soon as the show ends. Not last night. Handed out too late, so many people waiting around after the show to settle up. They need to fix their operations.

Just had a great Saturday night show laughing at Amir K. jokes…read more Thank you! The club being not large allowed for an intimate atmosphere and for those two hours I felt like we were all one big dysfunctional family. Laughed till I cried.

Half of the comedians were legit funny. The other half was probably impromptu winging it while on stage. They serve up drinks at the front before seating.

It was alright. I like that there was no minimum drink required and the drinks were good (at…read moreleast, those that we had). Comedians were ok, not horrible, not exactly laugh out load. I didn't care for the fact that no where online could I find any comedian names beforehand - therefore, I wasn't expecting much. Bought tickets online ($53 for 2 with svc fee) a few weeks in advance. For entry, a woman checked our names off a list then we walked down the flight of stairs that had prohibition era decor. The venue is intimate. Seating is extremely tight (definitely seats less than 100 people). I would suggest that if you go, do NOT sit up front for obvious reasons (like being the subject matter and/or ridiculed), but also because those in front rows were literally spit on (unintentionally of course) by the headliner that raised his voice/yelled as part of his skit - from the side view where we sat and because of the spotlights, we seriously saw the spit travel through the air, land on people who then retracted a bit in shock - we were disgusted, especially in this post-COVID pandemic climate. One of the other comedians stopped his skit and reprimanded those in the audience that were talking - he was so annoyed and wasn't shy about it. We parked in the parking garage across the street, $20 for less than 2 hours wasn't exactly worth it. I wouldn't be against returning as long as there are funny, well known comedians scheduled and marketed - but we won't sit up front :)

Free oreos before the show, the light effects during the different acts, having an audience member play the guitar on stage during a few of their bits (especially when that audience member is my bf, and he did such an awesome job :), the cute lounge/waiting area outside the auditorium, unconventional artwork and decor throughout the venue creating the perfect ambience for date night (or any night really!), the delicious cocktails at the bar (especially When Life Gives You Lemons with starburst- infused vodka), and the fact that the bar closes late, so you can get drinks throughout the entire show. By the way, the entrance to Secret Improv Society was on the lower level, door to the left that says "Cabaret Stage". The show was hilarious, and had me laughing all night. The performers were entertaining and know how to work a crowd. And I saw some new skits/acts I haven't seen before with other improv events I've attended. It's definitely worth returning, since with improv, it's a new show every time. And this group made us feel welcome and made sure we had fun. Secret Improv Society, I "soup" you :D
