Cobb's Comedy Club

Located in North Beach on Columbus Street, Cobb’s Comedy Club is quite possibly the most well known spot for stand up comedy in the city. Founded in 1982, Cobb’s was originally a pub in the Marina. The current space, which seats 400 at circular low and high bar tables, is the third home to the club. When big name comedians come through SF, they are most likely to take the stage at Cobb’s; past comics include Louis CK, Dana Carvey, Dave Chappelle and other regulars of the late shows and Comedy Central. Upcoming artists include Michael Yo from Chelsea Lately and Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live. Cobb’s has a dinner menu and full-service bar with a two drink minimum. Most of the seating is general admission and it’s first come first served. Since it’s a bar, all IDs must be checked before show-goers enter, so there may be a line out front to get in. Public transportation is recommended as there isn’t much parking nearby.
