American Comedy Co - San Andreas

We were walking nearby when someone gave us tickets to their free open mic show on Tuesday. We decided to check it out. Security was nice, and we headed in at 7:30ish with the show starting at 8. Before going in, they do have a sign that says 2 drinks minimum. When you go in, you have stars going up and down with no signs. Head up, and you will see a black door to go through. The place was small and cozy. There was one working bartender, but it was friendly and efficient. They did have happy hour on a few drinks, each $5. They have bathrooms, which were very clean. A little before 8, they announce that the show will be starting. Nathan Donovan was an amazing host! He explained how they would randomly select a comedian and have 3 minutes to do their set. He made a lot of funny jokes and really set a great mood for the night. The rest of the comedians were also pretty good and definitely had a good time. Although it is a free show, you will be spending a minimum of like $10 per person due to the drinking rule, so it is not completely free. Would still highly recommend this place!

The service was great. We parked in the plaza which is about 2 blocks away. We ordered the pretzel bites which went great with our beers. I would come again to watch another comedy show.

I go to watch the open mics every week, never participated in them but I like to support local comedy and see the comedians play around with their sets. Most use it as a vanity contest but some are really doing fun experimentation with their bits which I appreciate. Idk about the mixed drinks quality but the beer tastes like they actually clean the keg lines unlike the madhouse which tastes like stale batteries, same prices but FAR better quality at the American comedy club. Kinda wish N.Donavin was less racist and misogynistic towards the comics but at least he's honest about it. I'm rating it a 4 because I haven't been to a paid show yet and can't comment on anything but the open mics which I often enjoy but can be..... Interesting to say the least. The door attendants and bartenders are always very welcoming on the open mic nights which is a big highlight for me. I'll be attending the Harland Williams show so I'll be sure to leave an updated review soon. Ngl, the reviews left on this page are a little disheartening for the paid shows so I hope everything goes well and the staff are just as nice when I attend on the upcoming show, but I'm positive it'll be fun. I fully understand that working at comedy clubs can be stress inducing as I used to work at the madhouse and they both treated me like dirt and were under paying the employees for a majority of 2023, so I can say that at the very least the employees are in better hands here at ACC. I hope the attendees can empathize with the frustrations that come with working in this industry as the employees are humans too, not just robots who provide dopamine with no rest. Good luck to the employees, good luck to the comics, good luck to the attendees and good luck to myself since I'm finally employed again and able to afford to go to see a major comic at one of my favorite venues. I'm very excited.

Great show. I saw Mike Epps, and the food was great. The seats are great in just about any place you sit in relation to the stage.

Loved the comedy club. Went last night to see Chris Estrada. Staff was friendly, clean, and overall great night. My only request would be for more non-alcoholic drink options.
