We had a great time this past weekend! We always do!! I believe every seat was taken. The service was awesome! The pizza & salad were great! My only suggestion would be to open up a little earlier so that people could start eating before the show instead of during the show. We'll definitely be back!! This club brings nightlife to Escondido!!! read more

We've been coming to this club for a while, and this was my first time at the new mall location. If you know me, you know I'm a comedy fan but also a snob. My Dad was a stand-up comedian, so I grew up going to shows. I have very specific ideas about what makes a good experience. I like the new location for some reasons like easier parking, inside lineup which is good in cold or rainy weather, etc. It's still small on the scale of some clubs, so you won't be too far away from the action. Usual two-item minimum, which is standard. They kept the pizza menu from before, so decent options for food. My friends ordered breadsticks, and those were pretty good. My usual at comedy is a dessert and a coke, so I tried the chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. It was good, a large portion, and the raspberry helped cut through the intense chocolate flavor. It looked like a much better deal than the piece of cheesecake that the next table ordered. They have free offers for people on the mailing list from time to time, and some larger name comedians. Our show was postponed last-minute, so they gave us free admission to the replacement show. read more

If you are looking for a fun night out this is definitely a place to check out. Came here for an open mic night and had so much fun. All different types of comedians so something for everyone. They serve food and have a bar. Bar is outside the venue and inside the mall but right outside the front door. It's on the back side of the mall and it definitely adds a fun attraction to the mall. read more

Great little venue to watch a comedy show! They hosted one of my favorites, and took a group to see him. All seats provided a great view! The owner was super nice and responsive! Nothing fancy and located in a mall at a former Red Robin- but we'll be back! read more

This was my first time here since it changed from California Pizza Kitchen (CPK). What a fun place, especially on a weeknight. The night we went was Karaoke night and Happy Hour prices. And, they have a full bar. I had a 1/2 order of lemon pepper chicken wings. They were cooked perfectly! The only issue is that they were over seasoned and quite salty. The Emcee was fun and did a fantastic job. There was a good mix of seasoned singers and amateurs, all kinds of music. Our server was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to going back. read more

Why haven't I came here?? I finally got the chance to have a date night with my husband and we decided to try this place out for the first time. Across the street are a few good restaurants so its a perfect spot. We ate and then went across the street to the mall to our show. Upon arriving, the man at the door was very nice and helpful, let us pick whichever seats we preferred. The waiter who came to see if we wanted any food or drinks was super friendly and just the whole staff environment was extremely welcoming. The comedians were hilarious from the openers to the headliner. We came the day Jesus Trejo was headlining and he had us laughing all night. 2 hours literally FLEW by! Such an awesome night, I cannot wait to return. The tickets online for my husband and I were super cheap (only 30 bucks total) although we were not aware there is a 2 purchase minimum per person. So we had to still spend another 50 bucks but it was totally worth it, we got 2 shots, a soda, and a cheesecake. The shots are HUGE! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! Make sure you park near the comedy club if you go to the late show because the mall closes and its a looooong walk to your car if not:) read more

I first visited Grand Comedy Club last year in the beginning of November during my roadtrip. I remembered that I liked the venue because it was pretty intimate. I remembered the pizza was good, and the service was pretty attentive and friendly. They talked about their move to the new location which will be at the mall. I again went to visit earlier this month during another roadtrip at their new location. It's located right across from Target at the mall. I was greeted by the host who gave me the options to either sit at the very front or at the back bar area. I didn't want to be targeted or be too close to the stage so I chose the latter. It took a very long time for a server to come to me. They even went to the other guests who came after me so that wasn't cool. I again got a glass of pinot noir with pepperoni pizza. The wine and pizza was good. I'm pretty sure I saw the same opener comedian because he talked about his sex story about a dog licking his booty. Lol... The headliners were funny both times that I went. Chinedu Unaka and Bret Ernst were the headliners that I saw on my two different visits. The bathroom was clean. I honestly like the new location more than the former as there were plenty of parking, and it looked nice. It's still pretty intimate, which I liked. read more

In the mall!!!! My sister got us tickets to go to the comedy club just before Thanksgiving. Ian Bagg was there performing. What a great show! The comedy club is quaint but not cramped.

My husband & I went last Friday to see Lachlan Patterson & had a blast! It is located in the mall, & also has a main entrance from the parking lot. If you arrive early, they have a bar you can enjoy drinks at. However, do not order a lot because the club has a 2 minimum drink/food per person, & the drinks from the bar do not count. The food & drinks are pricey too. Check in early to get front seats & the club gets packed quick. There had a few stand ups before who were funny, & then Lachlan stole the show. He was hilarious, interacted with the crowd & was overall just a great time. If you get the Clipper Magazine, look out for a BOGO for the club. read more

Service is absolutely rude and HORRIBLE! The trivia person is incredibly boring. If I could rate it zero stars I would.. EDIT: The owner has been harassing and threatening me via email so even more reason to stay away. read more

Won free tickets to a show Friday! Laughed so hard! The comedians were great! Headliner Monty was hilarious. Venue was well run, easy to find , park & clean. Highly recommend attending. Plan to go again soon! Couple things to Note: -its in the old location where California pizza kitchen was, next to old Nordstrom. -they look you up on a list when you arrive. Great smooth process -2 item purchase required per person, water bottles, tea, soda was reasonably priced at $6 each -food was ok but pricey, I would eat & drink prior next time & just stick to 1 cocktail or a diet coke & water Must try place! read more

Good, not great. Been to many comedy shows over the years in the Bay Area and New York, never have I been to one which was part of a shopping mall. The comedians were ok. More story telling and less punch lines. It was entertaining but not necessarily laugh out loud funny, more like a few light chuckles if anything. Eat dinner before arriving, sadly the pizza was barely edible. read more

Located on the east side of the Escondido Westfield mall. Yes this club moved from grand to the mall. The entrance to the club can not be accessed via exterior wall. You need to enter the mall and then enter the comedy club. They have a waiting and bar area in the middle of the wall. We came on March 15, the second grand opening day of the new location. Positives: the shows were funny. Plenty of parking. Michael palascak was the headliner but all the comedians were amazing. I have been to a couple of shows in LA before and the quality here is so high. Remember, it's going to be adult jokes, sex, death, jobs, marriage, funny as hell. Negatives: need to order 2 items. Doesn't have to be two drinks. It can be 1 drink, 1 food. Price of the ticket to enter was reasonable. But one vodka sprite is $15. One lemon drop is $19. One pizza which comes with two large slices is $16. I forgot the price of beer. I would recommend stay away from cosmopolitan, lemon drop, Long Island, drinks with names as it's $$$. Just do rum and coke or vodka sprite. May come again if I can figure out how to minimize the drink cost. read more

Love this new location! Great parking and nice roomy set up. Staff is super friendly too. We went to the clean comedy show last night and it was very good! We don't have kids but wanted some less raunchy content than the usual comedians. It was nice seeing families laugh together! The pizza was delicious and came quickly but we waited almost an hour for our sodas - despite asking a few times. Finally I had the mime bring it to me. I went to a regular show there last Saturday night and saw Rick Voss. He was great but the two comedians before him very very raunchy- maybe I'm just getting old. Still, I highly recommend this place! read more

Absolutely Hilarious! I had an amazing time at Grand Comedy! Every comedian brought their own unique style, and the crowd's energy was incredible from start to finish. The timing, the jokes, the atmosphere--everything was spot on. The staff was friendly, the venue was comfortable, and the whole night flew by because I was laughing so much. Highly recommend Grand Comedy if you're looking for a night full of genuine laughs and great entertainment. Can't wait to go back! read more

We enjoy sitting at the bar, getting a drink, a pizza and a salad. Also love the meatball sandwich. Fun place for people watching. read more

Grand Comedy Club - Margherita Pizza - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Escondido, California

Went here the first time for my first date with my boyfriend a couple years ago. We went and saw the super funny Erik Griffin and had an absolute blast. Since, we have been back to see many comedians here. The comedians are actually funny for starters. Service is prompt and they're well organized. Clear view of the stage. Yummy pizza and a drink selection to suit everyone's tastes. Staff have always been friendly, as well as the owner who's gone out of his way to get us the best spot. This place is great for parents wanting a night out, dates, family gatherings (I brought my family here, we loved it) and we've also had fun evenings with our friends. We're super grateful for this spot. Escondido, get tickets to a show here, you'll have a great time & you'll be supporting local! read more

Lots of fun. Drink service is fast, pizza is slower but we did go to a pretty full show. Good drinks & good food, I'd definitely go back.

It's been a minute since I came here but had to see the new location at the the olda CPK. As always I was not disappointed! The host had more jokes or funnier ones I'm not sure but I appreciated it. I wish I could remember the opening comic's name because he was hilarious! I was laughing so hard the entire time honestly. When JC came on he also had me dying. There were times when I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard! It was such a blast and the white pizza and Hawaiian were both great slices at $16 for 2 each. We got discounted tickets through VIP mailing list online while I've had every time I've gone! The bar out front is a good spot. I like that they have more stuff going on during the week at this spot too. Trivia, karaoke, and open mic night in addition to the comedy shows Friday and Saturday. I will keep recommending them to others and would love to come back and laugh some more! read more

Best place to see comedy that I've ever been to. And I've been to the Comedy Store, and all the others in town. Love the intimacy. Love the acts they bring in -- both the big names and the local talent (Zoltan is one of them!) If you haven't been, I highly recommend. read more

We just discovered Grand Comedy Club in Escondido, at the mall! They have taken over the CPK space and its pretty sweet! Price was totally reasonable and the 2 item food/beverage policy was an easy ask. We had a party of 10 for a birthday and it was perfect! We saw headliner Jay Mohr plus two feature comedians and were in tears laughing! Its a great location for North County San Diego residents. We all agreed to join their VIP club so we can stay on top of shows. Check it out! read more

Overall, I love this place, its great having a comedy club in Escondido so close to my home. Adam is awesome and I very much appreciate the talent which he brings in. They have a two-drink minimum, which is to be expected at ANY comedy club, the staff there is friendly, and they have a good enough selection of food and drinks to ensure you are catered to well for your evening. My only complaint is that there tends to be the same comedians quite a bit, I am sure that tends to be the same as most comedy clubs, I just check the calendar all the time here as it is so close! There is a VIP list, which you should 100% get on, as you get emails for upcoming shows with a chance to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the public, as well as discounted shows and events. I highly recommend checking it out as you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is a North County gem! We live nearby and go regularly, and the lineups are always SO good. We've seen well-known comics and lesser-known names and it is always a great time. Easy parking (hello, mall!), friendly owner and staff, and very reasonable ticket prices (with a two item minimum). Just go!!! read more

Such a great local spot! So many reasons to love it! 1. Early shows for people like me that can barely stay awake after 9pm! My friend and I caught the 6:30 show. Score! 2. Reasonably priced tickets- 10 dollars! 3. Two item minimum...but it's not just drinks! Not a drinker? No problem! The show had 2 opening acts and then the headliner came out. Such an enjoyable evening! 5 stars! read more

Highly recommend! Excited to finally go to grand comedy... the new location at the mall is easy access/plenty of parking, reasonable prices (all comedy clubs have 2 item min w drinks a little above avg), good food (made it easy and basically limited to salad and pizza), and good drink selection... I'm excited to try trivia and karaoke nights at some point! read more

My wife and I love this place and love that it's in Escondido! Went to see Carolyn Raye last night, and like always, had a blast! Great service, comfortable inside, nice cold beers, good crispy BBQ chicken pizza, large and great anti-pasta salad with good dressing. The 3 comedians before her were all very funny, and she was too. It was cool she was taking pictures with those who were there after, and we got 1 with her too. Already picking out our next comedian to see. read more

Pretty good experience for the first time. I do think the lack of being able to split checks with your table could really mess things up. Also, using the led candle to try and get your servers attention was a bit chaotic. Price is good to get in though. read more

Fun date night spot! It's in the mall so parking is abundant. Good show, nice staff, fairly priced. The one thing is the food/drink situation. 2 item minimum but the food is...meh. Mostly pizza and it wasn't very good or fresh. I'll be back though for the comedy read more

Went and saw Amir.K. It was awesome! Easy to find and park. We got seating immediately. We ordered drinks and got them quickly. The drinks were very good and strong. Every staff member was friendly and attentive. Definitely will go see another show again! read more

I'm so happy they are open again and stayed in Escondido! I've been going to their old location on Grand since they first opened and have been so worried when they announced the closure and relocation since so many other businesses seem to be struggling. As a born, raised, & current resident of Esco and lover of comedy, this makes me so so happy. This past weekend was their opening weekend AND my birthday. It was perfect timing for me to bring 15 friends out to celebrate and share one of my favorite local spots. We got there shortly after the doors opened and got seated quickly with food/drink orders within minutes. There was a couple gaps in service but for opening weekend it's bound to happen as they get the employees adjusted to the unique demands of a comedy club. Andy now has another manager on board and after meeting him I could tell they are both eager to provide great service and a fun experience. I am so excited to see their success and growth! read more

Finally visited their new location in the mall in Escondido. As much as I love the charm of Grand Avenue, the ease of a mall location is really nice. Tons of parking!! I hosted a party of 18 for my husbands birthday. I emailed the club in advance to request reserved seating. Adam, the owner, responded immediately and made that happen. I hope this place stays open for years to come! read more

Exceeded expectations. What to know and what to expect: * It goes without saying but there's a two "item" minimum here. That's standard for all comedy clubs. Food counts toward your minimum and you could technically purchase waterbottles at $7 each which I believe is the lowest price ($14) you can have to meet their minimum. Everyone seemed to be ordering drinks + food. * The food - The is provided by the adjoining thin-crust pizza shop. Pizza, salads, basic appetizers and some dessert. A personal pizza consists of two large slices from a large pizza. More than enough for one person. The pizza itself was really good, very flavorful (Margherita and the Works). I'd definitely come back to their pizza shop in the future. * Drinks. I don't have an issue with their alcoholic drink prices. I would say that their wine-based drinks like Margaritas and Long Island iced-teas really won't deliver a buzz, even after two of them. I'd recommend a white claw or wine if you're looking to artificially enhance the comedy. By comparison I had a happy hour margarita at Miguel's ($6) that was way stronger than both their "Sake" drinks combined. Just saying. * Comedians- Hats off to Grand Comedy Club's booking agent. From the host to the headliner it was quality and consistent laughs. I really didn't know what to expect as this was my fist time at a smaller, unknown club. The comics were on par with Las Vegas clubs and with places like the Comedy Cellar in New York. Location: Formally an Italian Restaurant called "Taste of Flourance". Remember that place? Well after 15+ years of abandonment it was successfully turned into a comedy club. Man, back in the day Maria made the best foccacia bread I've ever had.. Parking isn't too bad. You can enter the club through the patio underneath the marquee (correct way) or through the pizza shop. In summation, this was fun. I highly recommend taking in a show... read more

Best night.. As always...,Please have Dave Williamson back!! Support local comedy.. the best!!

Love the decor, the fact that it's in the mall now and not on a sketchy street (that always made for an easy joke), and they have some good comedians come in! They have random dollar deals for those signed up to the email system. Full price, you're gonna pay $25/person plus 2 food or drink items- so total bill after tip will be around $100 for a show for 2 people. On dollar show deals, it's half that. You will laugh, though some comedians are more explicit than others. Also, they do (not often enough) have a clean joke night directed towards kids- though we haven't tried that yet. Overall, it's a fun experience- especially if you stand out to the jokester on stage read more

Love this place for many reasons. They have great comedy acts for reasonable prices, free parking, nice seating for a comedy show where you actually face the stage, and you see so many up and coming artists. Drinks are good, food is solid and overall very good. read more

Went tonight for the first time to celebrate a friend's birthday. There was a group of 14 of us. The service was quick, the Mexican Mule was tasty. The acts were really good especially Mary Upchurch she was fantastic and quick witted engaging with the audience. Paul Ogata was the headliner who we came to see. He was also very interactive with the audience playing off several members, very funny. The room is a great size, comfortable with great viewing for all. A nice lobby and cool courtyard with exposed brick, from the adjoining building. Something different and fun to do in Escondido, check it out! read more
