Excellent comedy right here in Santa Monica for stand up & improv shows. I recommend buying tickets online since some shows sell out. This is a 21 an older venue. Stand up, writer, producer Neal Brennan performs often on Tuesday at 8pm with well known drop in guests! Good beer and wine menu at reasonable prices!
