Pupusas and Punchlines: Comedy at Jaragua (Late Show)

Pupusas and Punchlines puts a stand-up show inside Jaragua, a Salvadoran restaurant on Beverly Boulevard, and this listing is for the late set on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Doors open at 8:15 p.m. and the comedy starts at 8:45. If you're sorting through LA events this weekend and want dinner and a show without paying club prices for both, this one keeps it simple. You buy a seat, and the pupusas are there if you want them.

Who's on the bill

The Eventbrite listing names four comics. Kylie Vincent is credited with Comedy Central, and Justin Alexio with Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Dwight Pryde is on the lineup too, along with a fourth comic billed from Idiots United. Small-room shows shuffle a name now and then before the night, so treat the list as the plan rather than a guarantee.

Food, drinks and the room

Jaragua's kitchen handles the food. Food and drinks are sold separately from your ticket, and there's no food or drink minimum, which is rare for a comedy night. Pupusas usually come with curtido (the tangy cabbage slaw) and a thin tomato salsa, and they're easy to eat at a table while someone is on stage. Or skip dinner and just watch. Nobody is counting.

The show runs in English. The organizers say it's generally 18+, and high schoolers can come with a parent or guardian. Expect adult themes and language. Their own FAQ puts it more bluntly: leave the little niños with tío.

A restaurant show feels different from a club. You're at a table, the kitchen is still working, and the comics stand close enough that the front row ends up in the set. It's one of the more low-key Things Happening In Los Angeles on a Saturday night, and a cheap way to try live stand-up if big clubs aren't your thing.

Tickets and getting there

• When: Saturday, October 3, 2026. Doors 8:15 p.m., show 8:45 to 10:15 p.m.
• Where: Jaragua Restaurant, 4493 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles
• Tickets: $19.50 to $49.00 on Eventbrite

The title says Late Show, so make sure that's the one on your ticket before you check out. Eventbrite fees can land on top of the listed price.

The organizers say there's plenty of free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Give yourself ten extra minutes on a Saturday anyway, since you'll want to be seated and ordering before 8:45. The show wraps around 10:15, which leaves time for a late drink nearby or an easy drive home.
