New Joke City is a wild, high-energy comedy experiment where anything can happen. Every Monday, comedians are thrown onstage with topics pulled straight from audience suggestions—and they’re not allowed to use any pre-written material. Watch them improvise on the spot, riff hilarious stories, scramble for punchlines, or spectacularly fall on their faces in this fun, silly, and totally interactive show. It’s free to attend with a 2-item minimum, and always unpredictable in the best way.

Hosted by Stanko Zovac

Every Tuesday at 8p (doors open 7p), comedians buy a drink and put their names in a bucket with their receipt. Stanko will pull names and the comedian can go up and do 5 minutes of material.

The mic has no cover to watch, but there is a 1 item minimum for all guest.

Experience top-tier stand-up without leaving the neighborhood. Every Wednesday, Astronaut City hosts national touring headliners performing sets they take on the road and on TV.

Each week highlights a different selection of proven comics working at the highest levels of the industry.

Su Crew Comedy, created and produced by comedian Crystal Su, has been a staple in the Southern California comedy scene for years. Crystal brings a sharp, playful voice shaped by her experience growing up Taiwanese American in the region, and her shows consistently spotlight some of today’s top working comics. The result is a warm, high-energy night of stand-up that blends personal storytelling, cultural humor, and big laughs.

Known for its diverse, LGBTQ-friendly lineups, Su Crew Comedy is more than a show—it’s a community. Crystal curates each event with intention, giving a platform to unique voices and creating a space where audiences feel welcomed, seen, and ready to laugh. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, Su Crew Comedy delivers a reliably great night out.

The Bad Erotica Show, created and hosted by comedian Scott Richards, is a shamelessly hilarious night where ten comics read aloud the craziest sex scenes they’ve ever written, to try to win a prize of a bag of $3 chips from the vending machine. Each performer receives a unique, unhinged prompt a week in advance (think “Oregon Trail and Robots” or “Elephant and Banker”), and the results are gloriously chaotic, deeply unserious, and absolutely unforgettable.

The audience gets in on the action by voting for their favorite masterpiece of terrible smut. It’s raunchy, ridiculous, creatively unhinged fun that turns bad writing into great comedy—perfect for fans who like their laughs messy and their erotica… deeply questionable.

Evil Genius Comedy, created and produced by comedian James Graves, is a new monthly stand-up showcase designed to spotlight rising talent while building a creative, collaborative comedy community. Each show features 5–6 carefully selected comics plus three lottery spots sprinkled throughout, giving both seasoned performers and hungry newcomers a chance to shine. Sets range from tight 5-minute shots to a 12–15 minute headlining closer, making every lineup dynamic and unpredictable in the best way.

What sets Evil Genius Comedy apart is its built-in growth culture. A day or two after each show, performers are invited to join an optional writers/feedback Zoom where comics can exchange ideas as equals—offering notes, pitches, and insights based on performing for a real audience. James, who brings a background in sketch comedy and years of experience as a classroom teacher, aims to create a supportive, energizing space where comics grow together and fans discover fresh voices. Expect smart, high-energy stand-up, community-driven vibes, and a showcase that’s as fun as it is forward-thinking.
