Fun club! GET THERE early for the best seats! We sat right up front and we were part of the show! IAN BAGG is very funny! Food was good but service was tough with all the tables.

On a Sunday, my family and I, a party of five, celebrated a very special occasion, my mom's birthday, at this comedy club featuring the legendary Jay Leno. We had purchased our tickets online in advance and arrived at 5:00 PM when both the doors and the parking lot opened. For those unfamiliar, the parking lot is located in the alley directly behind the building and is accessible from the south.

Upon our arrival, we noticed a line, but the doors opened promptly, and our tickets were scanned. A friendly host guided us to our table, where the club enforces a two-item minimum per person requirement. Arriving early allowed us to eat dinner before the show, at 7:00 PM.

The club offers a mocktail menu. I highly recommend the Passion Spritz, a refreshing drink that delivers a well-balanced ginger beer flavor without being overly sweet. For food, I ordered the pretzel and the Caprese salad. The pretzel was impressively large, perfect for sharing among 4-5 people, and came with mustard and cheese dip. The warmth and softness of the pretzel paired perfectly with the flavorful dips. The Caprese salad featured generous, juicy tomato slices, creamy mozzarella, and a bed of fresh arugula drizzled with balsamic glaze. The quality of the food exceeded my expectations.

A lovely touch of the evening was when the club acknowledged my mom's birthday. They have a charming tradition of acknowledging birthdays and anniversaries, complete with a fun birthday song. This thoughtful recognition made my mom's day even more special.

One small note, the women's restroom has only three stalls, so be prepared for a possible wait during busy times.

The comedy show itself was great, featuring three entertaining openers followed by the Jay Leno. Each performer delivered a funny set that had us laughing throughout the evening.

For a fun and memorable night of laughter and good food, I recommend this comedy club. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's a fantastic choice for entertainment and celebration.

We stopped in here for dinner and a show during a layover in LA. The comedy and magic club Ended up being a highlight of our trip. The comics were hilarious, and the food was great. The service was a little slow, and it seemed like they could’ve used one or two more people, but overall it was a fantastic experience.

We have been many times to The Comedy and Magic Club living in Hermosa beach for the 10 comics special.
Often seeing repeat comics with similar or same material BUT last night was completely FRESH and all NEW comics.

One of the best nights that I had to come and say so!
Have enjoyed the nights where we did see comics repeated or we wouldn’t continue to come back! This felt like a new direction!
Amazing booking and very diverse!

The food was amazing! I had the steak, for dessert. I had the cheesecake, and it was delicious. The drinka were good too.😋 parking is kind of hard to find, but that's not their fault. The comedians were good, that was my first time going to a comedy club. They have 2 sections. The only thing I didn't like was the gender neutral bathrooms. The place looks too classy to have ugly bathrooms, but that's just my opinion 😅

This post was originally from July 2023, so now over a year ago and no reply from the owner. You better look over your bill carefully or they will over charge you too, don’t try to correct the servers at this venue as they steal you blind. They will make a huge scene trying to embarrass you like they did our group. Worst experience ever, stay away from this place.

Things were good until they went terribly wrong. First let’s get the requirements out of the way, which have nothing to do with this review. You’re required to order two items at the show per ticket, and they have a 3 drink max per person, all not an issue. Our group of 5 all ordered pre dinner drinks and the drinks arrived at the table, so far so good. Then we each ordered food, four plates came out of the kitchen and when the others at our table were at least half way through their meal, my dinner arrived at the table. My friends wanted to wait until my plate arrived but I insisted they eat their dinner while it was still hot, lucky I said that because they were over half way finished with their dinner when my plate finally arrived. After dinner we ordered our second set of drinks. The waitress was struggling to make rounds in our area and things were taking a bit longer then they should’ve, to get to the table, no waters were filling and we just sat until half way through the show before our 2nd round of drinks arrived. When the show was just over 3/4 of the way over the waitress came to check on us and she took another drink order from our table. This is where the evening went off the rails. The drink didn’t show up, so when the waitress walked by my friend leaned over and said “I’m still waiting for my drink”. She then walked back to the kitchen area. After a while she walked by the table again and he asked about his drink and there is when it all started. The waitress proceeded to tell him, he got his three drinks for the night, he tried to explain she never brought him his drink, then a few minutes later she brought the bill which had the missing drink listed for him to pay for Then she proceeded to make up a story saying the drink is not added onto the bill until the bartender makes the drink and the drink is delivered to the table and ONLY at that time is it then added to the bill. He said he didn’t get the drink, which he didn’t as I was sitting right next to him. I was at the end of the table basically sitting walkway so I missed nothing the whole night as guest walked by and bumped my chair. She stood there making a scene, blocking the view of the other guests behind us as they tried to watch the comedians on stage. She said you had your three drinks, then he replied if you brought me my drink, where is my empty glass? This being said, ours drink glasses were all still on the table. She then said I took your three empty glass once you finished them and there is a three drink max per person. She could have knelt down and lowered her voice, but since she thought she was right she was going to show him and the rest of the venue who was in charge. After that she walked off and about ten mins later she came back to the table a set his missing drink in front of him and said “I’m so sorry, I talked to the bartender I guess your drink was never made!!!!” WHAT?!? What happened to the story the drinks don’t go on the bill until they are made and delivered to the table. Why didn’t you go back and talk to the bartender before you decided to make a big scene, the only one raising their voice was you but I’m guessing it’s a easy way to pad the bill and over charge customers for items they never get. NOTE: She had no issues kneeling down, as she apologized, I guess she wanted to keep that part on the LoLo.

Was here to see Jay Leno. 2 warmup comics were great - Jay was stellar as always. 90 min jam packed jokes with no teleprompter in sight.

Food was just ok - not awesome. I had the pasta with pesto and shrimp. Cocktails - meh. Bottled pasteurized lime juice in em - pretty sure. Had that “bottled tang” … have ordered wine in past. Probably a better bet
