Comedy Oakland

What a great way to watch and support live and local comedy. We were looking for a spur of the moment activity and saw this on event Brite and were curious. Tickets for a 1.5 hour comedy show at about $20 each with $2-3 in service fees -- a great deal in my book. Plus there was no drink minimum!

Comedians were funny and the crowd was good (though a bit smaller than other shows I've been to). I def want to invite people to check out the next show and will attend again. Let's support live comedy!

Glad to have discovered this. It's always nice to support local artists. They are very talented.
Limited seats it looked like but maybe it's just not much audience at that time.
Food was served from a limited menu.
Great staff.
Please support.

Wanted to go out to a comedy show and I was thoroughly impressed going to this new theater in Oakland. The show I went to see had 3 groups of comedians and they all had impressive improv sets. I was dying in my seat from laughing, and I really needed to laugh, experiencing some holiday blues.

The price for the show was only $5 ! Pretty cheap, can't get better than that , though I know they have other shows with slightly higher fees. Probably for more famous comedians in the Bay Area or visiting comedians.

The theater itself was very laid back and chill. When you walk in, there is a little lounge to the right, with food and beverages to buy. The theater has comfortable seats in the front with tables that each had a candle. The rest of the seating were regular chairs. I got to sit up front in the comfy seats. Lighting was great. Acoustics was great as well. The bathrooms are very clean and all gender. I've been to other comedy theaters in Oakland and this one is definitely hip and chill, nice and clean. I will definitely make my way back here again for their other shows. They also offer improv classes, which I'm considering as well.

All the comedians brought it tonight! No subject was taboo! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Would recommend this evening for all, especially cute for a date scenario

I was skeptical walking into this venue, but the comedians were great, the bartender is hilarious as well - a very fun option to get yourself out of the house on a Friday night!

Had a great time, fun variety of comics, bar service with a smile, the venue is a great atmosphere for live comedy, will definitely be back.

Great evening of Standup comedy at the Washington Inn in downtown Oakland on New Years Eve. Took the train. Very nice space for this years final comedy competition from 7 of Oaklands brave entertainers and 1 from LA. Drinks, food, laughs. Tickets are affordable. Other locations for the coming year. Enjoy.

Was looking for standup comedy nearby and came across this event. Took me 2 mins online to see that it was housed in a pretty looking venue, and that parking would not be a problem. Tickets were $20 and change, and with a no drink minimum that meant one could (in theory) watch a show for under 25 bucks!

The parking lot right next to the venue means you're walking 20 feet to get there. The building itself is so lovely and the bar is small but adequate. I started a tab but was definitely surprised when the bill came. Surprised in a good way because the drinks are so inexpensive, wait, I can't remember the last time I used that word in the Bay Area!

Anyhoo, we were seated swiftly and really appreciated the host/organizer Samson telling us the process of getting drinks or food, and pointing the way to the restrooms.

The lineup tonight was so so good, starting with Samson who is just naturally funny. At one point in the night I did have tears in my eyes from laughing too much. Good times!

I feel like I'm gonna be returning often to this gem of a venue for a little bit (ok maybe a lot!) of drinks and laughs.

I've been out to Comedy Oakland a couple of times, and I am consistently impressed by the venue, the ambience, the comics, and the caliber of the show in general. My last visit the show was fifty fifty men and women comics, which was refreshing and super fun! A pro show top to bottom.

I was in the Oakland area looking for something to do and came across tickets online for a Comedy night with Comedy Oakland.

We didn't really know what to expect since it was so last minute but when we arrived we were seated pretty quickly and had a good view of the stage. The service was prompt and the drinks were good. They offer a pretty standard appetizer/small bites menu but we skipped on the food.

That night there were 4 different comedians and it was half hit and half miss. Some jokes and comedians were hilarious and some comedians had jokes that were likely good at their prime but is now old material.

Overall, if you're looking for something to do in Oakland this is a good spot to check out, I wouldn't mind coming out again.
