The Laugh Factory Live
Famous as a launching pad for the biggest names in comedy, the Laugh Factory is the place to find the funniest performers working today. Open seven nights a week at locations in Hollywood, Chicago, Long Beach, the New Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas and the Silver Legacy Resort Casino in Reno, the Laugh Factory has been named the "No. 1 Comedy Club" in the country by USA Today. It lives up to its reputation with a packed schedule of hilarious headliners and up-and-coming talents, along with the many superstar regulars who may just happen to drop by. History has been made here thanks to marathon-length sets by the likes of Dave Chappelle and Dane Cook. Audiences at every location can expect to see major headliners and new discoveries in a nightly schedule that also includes improv and open-mike events.
The Laugh Factory Background
The Laugh Factory's story began in Los Angeles' bustling comedy scene of the 1970s, where performers like Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman blazed new trails for the stand-ups to come. When the community was fractured by a dispute between performers and the club owners who refused to pay them fairly, a 16-year-old Iranian immigrant and aspiring comic named Jamie Masada was driven to create a venue with a more equitable policy toward the talent onstage. With the help of a loan from screenwriter Neal Israel, Masada opened what was originally called Joke on Yolk in a building previously owned by Groucho Marx on the Sunset Strip in 1979. The first performer was none other than Richard Pryor, who did a 45-minute set as a surprise guest of Paul Mooney.
Pryor would remain one of many comedy superstars who stayed loyal to Masada and the Laugh Factory. Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano and Rosie O'Donnell were some of the Laugh Factory's early breakouts. Later greats such as Dane Cook, Whitney Cummings and Jerrod Carmichael became featured performers.
The original club's success also led to the opening of more locations, including Long Beach in 2008 and Chicago and Las Vegas in 2012. The Silver Legacy Casino in Reno is the latest home for what USA Today calls America's "No. 1 Comedy Club."
The venue is small and intimate. Which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for! The comedians and Mc were all really good especially the headliner Quinn Dale
I'm all in for dirty jokes, especially when done right. But this show was luke warm, no it was cold. Too many dirty jokes and extreme dirty jokes. No one in the hall was laughing. The host was horrible. The main events were ok. But again mediocre jokes. For the money I paid I expected more. Not worth it.
Definitely recommend checking out this show! We went the night of Carlos Rodriguez and he was hilarious! Would definitely go back again.
Weâll be back again soon as we can. The show was great and we laughed so hard.
I thought this show was hilarious. All the comedians were very funny. I laughed the entire time. I will go back.
Comedians were very funny. Seats were bad for the price. Sat behind a pillar. Drinks were too expensive. $6 bottle of water! Ridiculous.
Itâs was just okay. Comedians where decently funny but the room is old, the tickets are expensive and the drinks are basic. Not a wow type of evening. Relaxing and cozy yes
I saw Paul Rodriguez as the headliner and Jackson Perdue opened for him. Jackson was really funny and of course Paul was great. He actually got a little sentimental on stage with a story about his father. The Laugh Factory in general was comfortable, small and cozy. I had a VIP Booth 2nd row but the guy placed me in the back in a booth and I didn't realize my ticket was closer up until I'd already sat down. Since all of the seats are good, I actually didn't want to move after I noticed I was dead center of the stage with an unobstructed view. They have one bar to the side that's open and the line moves quickly. I didn't like having to keep the mask on the entire show and imagine the comedians would prefer to see our laughing faces. Overall really good show and enjoyable evening.
There didnât seem to be any AC in the venue so it was very warm and seats are packed together tight. If you get general admission seats you can barely see because you are so far to the side of the stage. They donât enforce mask mandates and youâre close enough for people to touch you. I wouldnât go again. The comedians were just ok.
If you get a chance to see Turner Sparks . . . run don't walk. Turner is an up and comer with great material. His comedy is clean and relevant. Tom Rhodes is a masterful comic. Tom has great interaction with the crowd and very funny. The Laugh Factory is a really comfortable venue to see a show.
