Ray Lau at Laugh Factory, Dec 16

Mid-December is a good time to put a night of stand-up on the calendar, and Ray Lau is on the bill at the Laugh Factory on Wednesday, December 16. The show starts at 8:00 PM at the club's longtime home on Sunset Boulevard, which makes it an easy pick for anyone sorting through things to do in Los Angeles before the holidays.

When: Wednesday, December 16, 2026, 8:00 PM Where: Laugh Factory - LA, 8001 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046 Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster (price shown at checkout)

What to expect

The Ticketmaster listing does not publish a full lineup, a set length or a description of Lau's material, so there is not much to say about the act itself beyond the headline. What the venue tells you is more useful. The Laugh Factory runs several shows a night, usually a headliner with a few other comics around them, and the rooms are small enough that a good set feels close. Treat any guest names you see online as unconfirmed until the club announces them.

If you have not seen Ray Lau before, a mid-week date is a low-pressure way to catch a comic you might otherwise miss. Weeknight shows at comedy clubs tend to be calmer than weekends, and getting a decent table is usually easier.

The Laugh Factory on Sunset

The club sits on Sunset Boulevard at the foot of the Hollywood hills, in a stretch lined with restaurants, bars and other late-night spots. That makes it simple to build an evening around the show: an early dinner nearby, the 8 PM set, then a short walk or rideshare home. It is one more entry among the upcoming events in Los Angeles that rewards planning a few weeks ahead, since December dates around the holidays can fill up.

Practical info

Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, and the price depends on seating and fees, so open the listing to see what is currently available before you commit. Comedy clubs commonly ask for a drink or food minimum, and many require photo ID at the door, so check the ticket page for the club's current rules. Arrive 30 to 45 minutes early if you care where you sit, and expect phones to be put away during the show.

Parking along that part of Sunset is a mix of paid lots and metered street spots, and both fill up on busy nights. A rideshare drop-off saves the circling. The listing gives a midnight end time, which is a placeholder window rather than a promise about how long the show runs, so plan on an evening of a couple of hours, not an all-nighter.
