Oakland Comedy Open Mic Workshop Nights

Sun, Nov 8, 9:00 PM
From Laughs, Lessons, and Local Comedians Unite

We're gathering comedians of all levels—from complete beginners to folks who've been doing open mics for years—for a casual night of workshopping material in a supportive environment. This isn't a performance showcase; it's a space where you can try out new jokes, get honest feedback from other comics, and figure out what's actually landing. Whether you're testing a five-minute set or just a handful of one-liners, you'll get constructive input from people who get it. Here's how it works: we'll start with some casual conversation and introductions, then folks can sign up to workshop their material in short slots. Everyone's encouraged to stick around for the whole thing and offer feedback to others—that's where the real learning happens. You'll walk away with notes, ideas for rewrites, and probably some new comic friends too. We keep it real and supportive; no crushing, no pretense, just people trying to get better at making each other laugh. This is for anyone who's curious about comedy, whether you're thinking about trying an open mic for the first time or you've been grinding away and need some fresh eyes on your stuff. Bring whatever material you've got, or just come to listen and learn. If you're interested, go ahead and RSVP so we know you're coming.

San Francisco Comedy Lab: Laughs Meet Learning

Sun, Nov 8, 9:00 PM
From Laughs, Lessons, and Local Comedians Unite

Come hang out with us for an evening of comedy and real conversation. We're bringing together local comedians and comedy fans in San Francisco for a night that's part open mic, part workshop, and all about having a good time together. Whether you've been doing comedy for years or you just love laughing at jokes, there's a place for you here. We'll have some of our favorite local performers, some audience participation, and hopefully plenty of moments that'll stick with you long after you leave. The vibe is casual and welcoming. You'll get to see what goes into making people laugh, pick up some insights into the comedy world if you're curious about it, and meet some genuinely funny people who care about their craft. No experience necessary—just bring yourself and an open mind. We keep it intimate enough that you actually feel like part of the community, not just another face in a crowd. If this sounds like your kind of night, please RSVP so we know how many to expect. Space is limited and we'd love to have you there.

Cheaper Than Therapy, Stand-up Comedy, Shelton Theater, Union Square, SF

Cheaper Than Therapy, Stand-up Comedy, Shelton Theater, Union Square, SF

Fri, Nov 6, 3:45 AM
From I Wanna Do It But Not Alone
4.7

**Let’s spend an hour laughing together at a stand-up comedy show in San Francisco! 😂** The name already says it all — **[Cheaper Than Therapy!](https://cttcomedy.com)** The show takes place at the historic **Shelton Theater**, right in the heart of Union Square in San Francisco. It’s easy to get to, with plenty of parking options nearby. The lineup changes every time: usually **2–3 new comedians**, a couple of familiar faces, and the show always closes with its producer, **Scott Simpson — and he is always hilarious!** I suggest we meet **15 minutes before the show at the bar**, grab a drink, and get to know each other before it starts. đŸŽŸïž It’s better to buy your ticket in advance, but you can usually get one at the door as well. I’m making this a **regular Meetup event**, although I won’t always be able to attend myself. When you arrive, just tell them you’re with the **Meetup group**, and they’ll seat you together. See you there — and let’s laugh! 😄 The show ends by 9:30pm. . Please check the FAQ [here](https://cttcomedy.com/) and to buy tickets go https://tickets.cttcomedy.com/events/?_gl=1\*16aiq5e\*_gcl_au\*MjAzMjE0NzI5NC4xNzg5MDczNDc2\*_ga\*MTE4MDMzOTY4NS4xNzg5MDczNDc2\*_ga_DDS6TRE8CK\*czE3OTA0NjUyNzEkbzMkZzAkdDE3OTA0NjUyNzEkajYwJGwwJGgw Hope see you there!
