    The Laugh Factory is such an iconic spot--so many known comedians started here, and it's amazing to…read moresee that tradition still alive today by consistently bringing in a mix of new, up-and-coming talent along with bigger names, which keeps every show exciting. It's honestly one of those places that never disappoints and is always worth visiting when you're in LA. Even on a weekday which I feel most ppl wouldn't expect. The staff is great, but one tip: order both of your drinks right at the beginning of the show. Once the comedians come out, service can slow down a bit, and you'll definitely want your drinks ready so you can just sit back and enjoy. I come here at least a few times a month and it's always worth it however because I come often I sometimes wish they didn't always have a 2 drink minimum.

    For a first time visit it was great, really took me away at how close we were and how lively it…read morewas, glad we did the 10pm show. Comics were great which is why it sucks that the latter half of our time was lackluster, we knew going in we would have to purchase something , but one gin-tonic (bombay) a ginger beer , a single pepsi and two waters being 75$ is outlandish by just about any standard. Come for the show but watch your wallet and drink heavily before hand to avoid sticker shock & always email your receipt My one caveat is i was thankful some of the staff was mindful and got the people in front of me to stop recording.

    In 2013 I took a class here and as a performer I felt very blocked. 13 years later in 2026 I have…read morenever felt more open as an improvisational performer. After coming off of multiple weeks of study at the grounding, I decided to take a break between Groundlings level one and Groundlings level two so I decided to do UCB 101 improv. This is a great way to break up your study of the funny in LA. It's a long-term approach and one that can sharpen different tools in your actors tool shed. Jessica Eason was everything for us in our one week intensive. She would let us go until we understood the game, then help us redefine different elements to ultimately make it easier for us to perform. The school is not about being funny. It's about understanding the game and trusting the game and your Scene Partner's. I cannot wait to take my next level 201 as our student show was a success and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful friends who support each other. Amy Poehler be proud.

    Came here for some fun improv and it was great! Found some good street parking around the corner…read moreand waited for the doors to open. The staff were friendly & got everyone inside quickly & orderly. I loved that there was plenty of seating and it ended up being a full house which was great! They also offer drinks for purchase but I ended up not getting any. The show was great & I can't wait to come again!

    Dynasty Typewriter is a really special place. They book the best comics I've seen in over 20 years…read morein LA, not only standup, but also the kookiest sketch specials, funniest live comedy musicals, and a collection of talented improv performers so actually funny that it will make you not embarrassed to invite your friends to go see improv with you. The house band, The Dynasties, are the best live band in the LA comedy scene -- they play hot bitchin jazz, add musical cues for the comics, and will generally make your week better. This is a place that comedians want to hang out. Craig Robinson might show up for a surprise musical set and take requests from the audience while you all sing together. Sarah Silverman might sit on the floor with flash cards of her new jokes and run them by you. Reggie Watts might drop by and crank out some skat poetry and vocalization whimsy. You might hear a live theramin performance, or a rendition of Dolly Parton's Jolene on a musical saw. Not a bad seat in the house, staff are welcoming and friendly. Fun merch, and popcorn combos with the perfect blend of sweet and salty toppings to satisfy your munchies. You'll be laughing from the moment the sound booth tells you to silence your cell phone to the moment you walk back into the world to your car. Proprietors Vanessa Ragland and Jamie Flam the hosts of their flagship Saturday night special, Dynasty Tonight, will delight you with the impressive combo of hilarity and empathy, making every night feel like a hangout with your funniest pals. The venue is intimate in a way that makes you feel like a part of a community, and reminds you that perhaps there is still some hope for humanity. You'll definitely want to be that cool person to "discover" this place and take the rest of your friend group.

    Dynasty Typewriter hosts a variety of live show types from comedy stand up to podcast tapings to…read moresmall concerts. The building is old school opened in 1926 as a Vaudeville house so it's always been entertaining. It's had different iterations over the years, most recently the Hayworth Theatre. Then in 2018 it officially became Dynasty Typerwriter Now the theater is in Westlake, right next to MacArthur Park where many of Los Angeles' unhomed population lives. So yes you can search and find street parking, but if you have a nicer car it may be better to just not risk it and park in the nearby parking garage - 611 S Carondelet Street. Rideshare is ideal though. It's a small theater (200 seats) so if you are hoping for a close up seat to see better or get in on some crowd work, you should arrive when doors open. I am quite the opposite and enjoy a good view, but sitting far outside of the crowd-work arena! Give me a good seat on the side back a few rows and I'm happy. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE crowdwork, just not aimed at me. I've seen Tig Notaro and Marc Maron here - obviously both great shows and I enjoyed them! When you sit in the seat, prepare for a little trip. They glide! haha It's kind of weird but kind of fun that they slide a bit but I see it shocking everyone when they first sit down so prepare yourself. They are the kind of seats that start hurting after sitting for an hour so my fellow ADHD peoples, prepare to do a lot of shifting in your seat. They have good canned beer options, including a couple of NA which is nice. Also full concession stand for snacks, including their special popcorn. Staff is friendly and I always enjoy this venue! I will absolutely be back.
