Stand Up for KCRW at The Comedy Store With Joel McHale

Public radio rarely gets a night this funny. Stand Up for KCRW puts a stacked bill of comedians on the Main Room stage at The Comedy Store on Sunday, November 8, 2026, with J.F. Harris hosting. If you are looking for LA events this weekend that do some good while they make you laugh, this one fits.

When: Sunday, November 8, 2026, 7:30 PM

Where: The Comedy Store (Main Room), Sunset Strip, West Hollywood

Age: 21+ with a two-drink minimum

The lineup

J.F. Harris hosts, and the bill includes Joel McHale, Dan Mintz, Laurie Kilmartin, Felicia Folkes and Ramsey Badawi. That mixes a well-known TV comic, a deadpan specialist, a writer known for sharp, personal material and a pair of working club comedians. The listing notes that lineups are subject to change, which is normal for a night built from busy performers who often drop in on the Strip.

Why it matters

The show supports KCRW, the donor-funded public media station that has soundtracked Los Angeles for decades through its music, news and culture programming. According to the listing, every ticket supports the station and includes a full year of KCRW membership. So the price of admission doubles as a donation, and you walk out a member.

The Comedy Store's Main Room is one of the best-known stages in American stand-up. It has a long history of surprise sets and big names working out new material. A benefit night here tends to bring a crowd that came for the cause and the comedians in equal measure.

Practical info

• Doors and seating are strict. The venue says it cannot hold seats once the show starts, so be checked in or in line by showtime. Open seats go to standby customers, and late arrivals or unclaimed tickets are void and non-refundable.
• The two-drink minimum applies, so budget for it alongside the ticket.
• The source page does not list a ticket price, so check the official listing before you plan your night.
• Parking along Sunset Boulevard is tight on show nights. Give yourself extra time or use a rideshare.

Making a night of it

The Sunset Strip is packed with places to eat before a 7:30 PM start, and a Sunday show means easier reservations than on a Friday.
