Comics come to LA to work out new material, so one stage can host a famous name on Tuesday and an open mic on Wednesday. Rooms range from old Sunset Strip clubs to the back rooms of bars.
Stand-up and improv
The Comedy Store, the Laugh Factory and the Hollywood Improv run shows every night. Dynasty Typewriter and Largo at the Coronet are smaller, with a sharper focus on new work. Late shows are where surprise drop-in sets tend to happen.
Most clubs sell tickets with a two-item food or drink minimum. Budget for that on top of the ticket price.
Interactive and live-taped shows
Murder mystery dinners aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, escape-room-style experiences and live game shows all sell out because the rooms are small. Book a week ahead, not on the day.
Many podcasts record in front of an audience, which makes a cheap and loose night out. Check the listing for age limits and phone rules before you go. Keep the night going with nightlife, or find free tapings under live audience and dinner in Hollywood.
