Excellent club and very good drinks. Had the pleasure to attend The Arsenio Hall & Friends show at this historic establishment. The place nor the show did not disappoint. Was sold out so can be a little tight and crowded but still no problems. Did not try the food but what I did see looked excellent. It was really a fun nite out!

So happy to be back to the Comedy Club after their long Covid closure. Had a fun night as we saw Craig Shoemaker. He was the BEST comedian we have ever seen!

Still don't understand why they have to squeeze people in the way they do. We were two and it was hard to find a spot that we didn't have to share the table with other people . Fun night regardless.

We were in Hermosa Beach and had walked by the club on previous visits so I looked online at their schedule. It turns out that Leno often plays here on Sundays. His show sells out the week he's appearing if not before so I'd suggest making a reservation two weeks or more in advance. He was fantastic!

The club holds perhaps 200 people and seating is a bit tight. We got there about 45 minutes before the show and most seats were already filled. The doors open two hours before the show so I guess you can trade off how much you mind waiting vs how close you want to sit. Any seat is decent, it's not a huge place. We were offered a seat towards the back on a slightly raised section which we took since it put us above most people's heads, although there is an elevated stage so probably everyone has a good view of the act. There isn't a lot of parking in the area so we took Uber which made it a lot easier.

In addition to the ticket there is a two-item (not two-drink) minimum. We had the salmon and thought it was nicely done, plus a drink. The service was efficient and if you wanted another drink they were coming around regularly.

It had been over 20 years since I was last at the Comedy and Magic Club, pre-kid days. Preacher Lawson from AGT was appearing and my husband wanted to go. Surprisingly nothing much has changed; the food is still good, comedians reliable, and pleasant staff.

Parking is a problem. The lot on top of the building is small and there is one hour parking limitations for street parking. One has to park in the City parking lot and walk.

Reservations are a must if there is a famous headliner. We were fortunate and got in without reservations, but we had to go early to put our name on the wait list.

The evening is pricey as you pay for the tickets to get in, and you have to purchase two items (drinks or food). The entry tickets for two were $44. Food, drinks, and tip came to $66. We ordered lemonades and fish and chips. There were 4 long pieces of coated fish and battered fries. The tarter sauce is homemade and very tasty. The fish and fries were excellent, but then they should be for $20. We do recommend going early so that you can enjoy your food, and then enjoy the entertainment. The tables are small which makes for crowded eating. In our case we had to share our table with 3 others we didn't know. Fortunately the days of smoking in bars is long gone.

I loved the fact everyone was dressed very casual. The crowd was mainly older, probably due to the cost.

It is an enjoyable evening, particularly if the comedian's material is good.

I held a fundraising event for my friend's Metastatic Stage IV Breast Cancer campaign to help provide relief for surgical costs. Rebecca was my Coordinator who went above and beyond to guide me through the process start to finish. She provided me with great ideas for silent auction gifts. The night of the event was supported by amazing staff and very well-received by the attendees. The service, food, drinks and especially the entertainment was fabulous!! The fundraiser was a huge success thanks to the Comedy & Magic Club crew! Tamie and I can't thank you enough!

This was the second comedy club I visited on my first trip to Los Angeles. The comedy and Magic club was far superior to the other venue I visited. We saw Jay Leno on Sunday night, which I guess he performs every Sunday evening. He was very good, there were 2 opening acts and then Jay went on for over 1 hour. There is a 2 item minimum per person. We were just going to get drinks and decided at the last minute to order food. We were very surprised the food was extremely good. We ordered a hot pretzle, shrimp skewers and a brownie sundae dessert, all the food was delicious! Would recommend arriving at least 1 hour early to get a good seat as it is first come first serve seating. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend this club for celebrations of any kind! Couples, family or friends we have been going for years! My parents have gone monthly for over 30+ years! What’s nice about it is not only do you get comedy and magic entertainment but the staff is friendly offering packages for celebrations that include an announcement over the PA with a picture to take home with you and a dessert. You have a 2 drink minimum, the option to get appetizers or dinner which we do every time. If you are getting dinner I would go a little on the early side so you can enjoy the show. Parking can be tough so going early is a good idea for that as well. But then you can take a stroll at the beach you are very close just steps away!

$20/head and a two item minimum for 8-10 comedians, including the finale with an rapping white English comedian, Chris Turner, who improvs based on subjects suggested by the audience (including “vegan body odor”). Excellent!
