Description

Specialties

The Comedy Store is a Comedy Club in La Jolla, CA with deep roots in standup comedy, going back to the 1970’s. We hosts comedy shows 7 days a week with a open mic on Sundays. The Comedy Store is 21 serving the best craft cocktails and craft beer in San Diego.

History

Established in 1976.

The La Jolla club was opened in 1976, by Mitzi Shore, shortly after the Hollywood Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd was established. For more than 30 years, this family business has featured some of the biggest names in stand up comedy, from Robin Williams to Richard Pryor to Jim Carrey. It now stands as an icon in the world of American humor.

Meet the Business Owner

Mitzi S.

Business Owner

As The Comedy Store continued to thrive, Mitzi became known as one of Hollywood’s most important comedy brokers, often helping television networks cast their upcoming sitcoms from her talent pool. During this time, Mitzi’s young son Pauly had been growing up at The Comedy Store among its stable of comedians, who often served as his babysitter. Pauly spent the latter part of the ‘80s honing his own act, finally making it to The Comedy Store stage in 1988. Less than a decade later, Mitzi convinced Pauly and Sammy to go on a father-​son comedy tour together, which turned out to be an enormous success for the pair.
