Love the scene! Intimate venue, located right in downtown, diverse group of people, excellent comedians. Fun for a night out with friends or your SO. You get your moneys worth. Ive been twice now and will definitely be back for more laughs.

Great time tonight! Comedy was great, all the comedians interacted with the crowd very well, none of them were roasting anybody hard. The venue was clean, plenty of room and the seating is set up great in my opinion. Drink prices are ok. 2 alcohol drinks 1 bottle water 1 red bull and a appetizer was $40 bucks.

The infamous laugh factory! Almost guaranteed to have great laughs. It was my first time in the long beach location. Admittedly, it is much better decorated than the Hollywood one (see pictures). The comedians are mostly above average. Most sets involve 5-6 comedians so that most likely you’ll at least be able to connect with the jokes of 1-2 of them. There’s usually a pretty big line and seating is not always guaranteed which can make for a not-so-great experience. There is a 2 drink minimum which I really don’t get but for some reason tends to be the norm. The crowd sometimes gets too vocal which is not always the best experience. Overall I enjoy it but there’s massive room for improvement.

This is a pretty legendary club... In Hollywood. We went to the one in Long Beach and had a really great time there, too. Tickets can be had for cheap or free if you look, so dont get wrapped up on ticket price. There is a two drink minimum per person in the club. There drink prices are fairly reasonable for the location and type of venue. The staff are nice and they hustle, but if there club is busy it can take a while to get your drink. They do serve food as well, but the menu is limited. The quality is determined by who you see, but they get some talented folks here. You can park in the structure by the outlets, and they do validate a bit of the cost. This is totally worth checking out; it makes for a great evening out!

Great place to see some comedians. The seats are good and drinks are priced like most other comedy joints. Im not sure LBC gets all the best rotations of comics, but, even though fairly empty, the comics that did go were funny. At least three out of five we really funny.

Showed up late, they were sold out, they put us in the beer seats, didnt charge us and it was great show! What more can you say ?!?!Oh yeah and had a heavy pour at the bar as we grabbed a drink before we walked in...Perfect!!

Show time was 945 (recommended to get there around 9), after 10 we were told it would be at least another 20 minutes and no one had been let in, with the line half way around the block.. My girlfriend and I decided to go home rather than be let in an hour after the showtime.Where can we get a refund?

Place was very cozy and spacious to enjoy the drinks! Very good place to come and chill and enjoy for a great laugh when you stop by in Long Beach. The host was very gracious and the comedians were hilarious. Will definitely stop by again.

Pretty awesome place to enjoy stand up with friendly service. Two drink mandatory minimum, alcoholic or non alcoholic, great energy, lots of space. All around fun spot to go to!

Review №13

Venue is nice and spacious. Easy to see from every seat. Main complaint is that we showed up at 9:10 because doors for the late show opened at 9pm. Stood in line outside and didnt get let inside until 9:50 for a show that was supposed to start st 9:45pm. They were rushing to get started and we didnt get our two drinks (minimum) until the 2nd comic went onstage. As a result there was almost no energy in the room. Unimpressed.

Had such a good time here! We were sitting in the 2nd row. Had a great view. With our tickets we had to buy 2 drinks minimum which was fine. We were laughing from start to finish. We watched about 4 acts. Johnny Sanchez, Vincent Oshana, and some others. I would come again.

Review №21

Good comedians but waited outside in queue for an hr before being let in. Time on web and ticket said 9.45pm, arrived at 9.15 as it said first come first served for seats, so wanted to try get good seats, didnt get in until 10.15pm, show started around 10.20pm and finished around midnight. VIP tickets got you in early but there was plenty of seating so Id recommend either showing up at the time specified or 15min later.You can order food and drink inside, had a decent selection, not many desserts though. Need to buy min 2 drinks per person.

Review №24

Great location down by the Pike in Long Beach with funny comedians. Its a cozy joint which means there really isnt a bad seat in the entire place. Not sure if they serve food but there is a two drink minimum (Reasonably priced) oh dont worry they are not the watered down type either.They usually have some kind of special, like 2 for 1 deals and there is valet parking too.

Its fun. Youll get a good laugh from some pretty decent comedians! Great date spot. I would have a few drinks somewhere around and catch the late show. VIP tickets? Ehhh only if you want to be up close in the front, other than that you have access to upstairs which isnt all that. Youll have a good time !

Ma
Review №28

Theres valet parking curbside or public meters that take credit cards, but only for 2 hours. Lots of places to catch a bite before the show. 2 drink minimum...no grabbing nibbles as part of deal - has to be liquids just not strictly alcoholic. Theres general and priority seating, but club is intimate so its up to you to be ringside or hang back. No heckling.

Long Beach Laugh Factory is a fantastic venue. The service is awesome and the talent is above par. The Rainbow Pop show on the last Wednesday of every month is the best show to see. The comedians are super hilarious and its a guaranteed good time!

Review №34

Five star comedy, one star service. The two drink minimum really killed the night for me as I’m pregnant and they had very minimal nonalcoholic drink options, but I was forced to buy them even though there wasn’t one thing on there that I was excited about drinking. And then I had to pee the whole show since they made a pregnant lady buy two drinks, and I couldn’t enjoy the comedy. I already bought the tickets, and forcing people to spend more on drinks than tickets is BS. Won’t be back.

Review №39

This particular location is without any major acts which leads me to believe they willing closing soon. My recent visit was for a decently big name who apparently canceled many weeks earlier and, although we were told they notified ticket holders, I never received notification. Looked the act up and he is scheduled to perform and has been performing no where near this location. Something is fishy here. GO TO A COMEDY CLUB THAT HAS ACTS SCHEDULED THROUGH THE YEAR.

We had a really good time. All of the comedians were great. We went on a Saturday, the 7:30 show. For us, the service was great as well! I was nervous because I read reviews that said waitresses didnt come around enough. Im not sure if it was because of the day/time, but we ordered food and 3 rounds of drinks and everything came out pretty quickly.

What a joke as a latino I was insulted. Bree at the front door tried to charge us 4 times the entry fee into the venue. A list in which we were already on the list coming to see a booked comedian as their guess. The sad part as a latino I was coming to support the Latino show and she was clealry acting with a smug attitude and clearly racist.

The host was so funny. The second comedian has some problems with people in the front row. They kept talking and interrupting him. Security handled everything smoothly and the show went on. Hands up for the Laugh Factory for handling things professionally. Over all we had a great time.

Review №57

Pretty decent venue located at the Pike in Long Beach. Saw some pretty hilarious Comedians Adam Ray and Eric Schwartz. It was on a Saturday Night where they could have any comedians show up famous or not. It was a great show and really good lineup. Tickets are only $17 general admission if you buy them online. General admission is not guaranteed seating though unless you buy VIP. Just get there early enough and youll get a seat. The only 2 downsides are the parking garage that Laugh Factory validates for is a bit of a walk, so if you or your party has mobility issues there is a curbside area to pull up right in front of the door and drop people off. The other downside is the 2 drink minimum rule. You have to purchase 2 drinks alcoholic or not. We had 1 alcholic beverage and then ordered a water. They bring you an overpriced bottle of water to squeeze more cash out of you. Overall not bad though.

I got this ticket to the laugh factory and it was really funny its only about 25 to $30 to get in depends if youre paying for VIP I also found that the price is inside werent as bad as I thought they would be you do not have to buy an alcoholic drink the two-drink minimum also includes Pepsi the food was definitely an A-list

Review №59

Overall good, accommodations very nice, the personal working excellent communications, kind, and helpful. The last 2 comedians were not that good, the last one kept on talking about how good Columbia is which I have personal experience working in that area and others outside of the USA and her view is exactly opposite of mine. Our country is not perfect but we have freedoms because of our constitution that no one else has. Example is try being an illegal in Mexico and see what type of life you have, you dont get any money or services.

Here right now. First thing waitress did was ask my husband for his credit card to hold. When we asked why, she said some people sneak out b4 buying 2 drinks and this is how they keep you from leaving b4 buying ur 2 drinks, by holding your credit card hostage. We requested his 2 and my 2 and asked for his card back. She wouldnt have gotten my card. The show was totally ruin. We will NOT be back.

I came here to see a specific comedian perform months ago. I had been to this venue a number of times before. Normally I get tickets at the door, but on this particular comedian, they were pre-purchased. This was also the first time I was seated in the upper balcony. The view from up isnt bad, but the service is atrocious. Not once did I receive a drink offer. The waitress on the balcony was only serving half of the upstairs so the side I was sitting on received NO service. I didnt have to worry about the two drink minimum and neither did the staff care. To be honest, it ruined the night. My brother was far more upset and it felt like we were segregated from the evening. Needless to say my brother and I have not been back since. Ive let two free admissions vouchers expire because I dont want to guess whether or not Ill be served. I have since grown to traveling to Hollywood. The Comedy Store has amazing service! It really sucks though because I live minutes away, have downtown parking and still refuse to go back to Laugh Factory.

You can have a great laugh at this place. We saw a celebrity try to get into stand-up. He was OK. The headline comedian was hilarious! Later after the show, everyone who was on stage sat a table. They would chat with people, sign autographs, and they let you take pictures with them. Almost as if they were regular everyday people like us... unusual right? Lol

Kind of disappointed with menu offerings (overpriced, stale chips, cheap prepackaged salsa, lousy drink menu). Went with a friend who couldnt stand for long periods (with handicap placard) and they wouldnt allow early seating or even offer a chair, had to pay $60 to upgrade tickets so she could sit down. The three (of four on program) comedians who showed up were good, and I do not blame them for the experience. Will not go again.

Well, I went into the line for the performance knowing what to expect because I’ve been watching Laugh Factory on Instagram for so long I’d wanted to come to see a live show for about two years. My grandma and I checked online for any age limits there may have been and we couldn’t find any so we decided to go. When we got there the man at the door asked for tickets and ID’s so I showed him my ID and ticket and he let us in. We sat down and ordered drinks (of course I got non alcoholic beverages). The first comedian went up and left and then the second one went up and she was really good and I liked her a lot. I ended up saying I was almost 16 and she was fine with me being there and so was my grandma. After about 5 minuets my waitress came up to me and asked me for my ID. She said the manager wanted to see it and the manager came back with my ID and said I had to leave immediately. We made it to the door and the comedian lady was upset that I had to leave. We paid for our drinks already but the manager said we wouldn’t have to pay for drinks but we never got our money back. The door man flipped out and got upset and passively blamed us for going in the first place. I would plan to go back but maybe when I’m 18 and probably alone.
