    Have to say, awesome show. Saw The Setup once in San Francisco and it doesn't disappoint in LA.

    Glad this place closed down! The business owner (who doubled as an acting teacher) encouraged his…read moreimpressionable students (myself included) to join this "extracurricular activity." Although we were all technically legal adults, I still think there is something very sleazy about an authority figure in his 40s swaying 18 and 19 year old aspiring actors to perform nude with him. Of course, he tailored his messaging toward empowerment-- all bodies are great bodies, and all bodies are welcome. The reality, however, was that most of these students were recent L.A. arrivals with little working knowledge of the entertainment industry. It's hard not to recognize the power imbalances at play and potential vulnerabilities being exploited. Having said that, I will not disparage the talent that came out of these shows, and I will commend the owner's rules regarding privacy (no cameras allowed) and hygiene (towel is required).

Nude Comedy LA is a local small theater group that not only offers amazing entertainment, but practices all-inclusiveness, and body positivity as well. In addition to comedy nights, they also offer karaoke, open mic, various events via sponsors, and refreshments including wine!! Refreshments are cash preferred Niambi the goddess mc/hostess with the mostest and expecting mother-to-be is amazing! Great opener and all-around entertainer. Didn't get a chance to chat with her after the show but she's good vibes times ten. The parking in the area is very much street with both residential and metered spots down and around Tujunga Ave between Moorpark and Woodbridge. They do have restrooms inside though theme nights and shows don't typically run too long. Allen Levin, the owner, is a saint fielding calls for questions and managing sales and lineups. Definitely had a great and positive experience with NCLA and would attend again.

    The Comedy Store is such a fun place! I love the black and red theme it gives the whole place a…read moreclassic nightclub vibe. The drinks were great, and most of the comics were really funny. I was expecting to laugh a little harder, but that's on me. Next time I'll check who's performing! Overall, I had a great time and would definitely go back. It also has so much history, knowing some of the biggest comedians got their start here makes the experience even cooler. If you're looking for a fun night out, it's definitely worth checking out!

Two of the main acts didn't actually come so the lineup was different, the main headliner was still ON the board and didn't come and another act also no showed, both large names I was excited to see and the main point for going and purchasing tickets. They also put our phones in yonder bags which isn't really my favorite but if it's a big name and they want to be sure people aren't recording, fine, I GUESS. However.. there was no big name because both of them didn't show. I had somewhere to be at 10pm, and there's ZERO clocks around this place, phone is locked up, servers are nowhere to be found, it can get irritating just feeling like you're locked in a prison cell with 0 idea of the time. Finally tracked someone down, asked about Whitney Cummings, was told she wasn't coming, and then followed up with the time and it was already 10:10. They also over serve which is probably why they're locking up phones so you loose track of time and keep buying drinks. Guys next to me were PLASTERED, one guy left over and over again to throw up, the other guy was laughing like a hyena and screaming, the other friend had his head down on the table completely knocked out, and last friend went to lay down on the benches and knock out. Spent over $150 and didn't even see the comedians I paid to see. Really disappointing.

It is wonderful to see that it's still around, thriving, and headlining some of the absolute best comedians in the business. My niece, nephew, mom and I came to see the headliner, John "Polar Bear" Gonzales. I like him for his Mexican-American stick, where he compares the white and Mexican side of his family. The venue itself is pretty solid, super clean, and spacious, while the main room maintains a nice, tight, and intimate vibe. The setup is excellent--you can get a decent view from almost anywhere in the room, and both the sound quality and lighting are great. Just keep in mind that the seating is a bit compact, and it gets pretty cold in there once the AC kicks on, so you might want to bring a jacket. There is a standard two-drink minimum, and the prices are reasonable. The also offer specials. The drink service inside the showroom is fast and comes without any attitude. Pro tip: Don't buy a drink at the external bar beforehand if you only plan to hit your two-drink minimum for the event. All in all, we spent about $180 (including tip) for six drinks, garlic parmesan fries, mac and cheese, and mozzarella sticks. The alcoholic drinks were loaded and well-crafted, though the mocktails could have used a bit more flavor punch. As for the food, everything was tasty and hit a solid, dependable Chili's quality level. The staff was super friendly, and I really appreciated that the servers checked in often while being incredibly mindful not to block anyone's view of the comedy show while taking orders. For parking, you can choose between metered street parking or a paid lot across the street for $15. If you arrive early enough, there is street parking available--we lucked out and found a spot just a couple of spaces down from the venue. It's a fantastic, nostalgic night out that still delivers.
