The Comedy & Magic Club

The venue is fine, just fine. There are lots of pictures of comics who have appeared there, and many are names you've know. Our table was right up against the stage -- see my picture -- since we got there early. The food and drinks were good, too. But the night we went, the headliner was Jay Leno and he was spectacular! He's there some some Sunday nights so check the website to see. Reservations and tickets are only available on the website, too. Go! It's a barrel of laughs.

This spot is intimate and fun, with a rotating lineup of comedians that often includes big names. The staff were professional and kept everything running smoothly. Food and drinks were reasonably priced for a comedy venue. The room setup makes every seat feel close to the stage. It’s a fantastic night out by the beach.

This place is always a blast. Ive seen some of my favorite comedians here like Gabriel Iglesias, and Sebastian Maniscalso. I most recently went with a group of friends and saw their 20 comedian birthday show and it was amazing. They have such an awesome, almost familial vibe there. Its intimate, and still big enough to have the good feeling of an entire crowd roaring with laughs!

We went on Sunday night to see Jay Leno, the tickets are very reasonable, there is a two item minimum on the menu. If you drink shouldn't be a problem. The food menu is pretty limited. We also got to see James Brogan and the MC was Sandy Stac. Well worth going. They also have a Seinfeld puffy shirt on display too!

5 stars for entertainment food and drinks, all were great . But 1 star for their super uncomfortable “back breaker” chairs. Like many comedy clubs, they use those cheap metal frame stackable chairs with a hard base to sit on and no lumbar support . For a place that serves nice dinners before the show you’d think they would invest in some decent seats—especially since it’s an experience of sitting on your ass for 2 hours. Went there for the first time to see Orny Adams which was a hilarious show — but he was the headliner — so after 2 hours I could barely pay attention trying to survive my torchure chair . So, even tho it’s a busy packed well run comedy venue , the chairs suck and I’m Not going back again.

We stopped in here for dinner and a show during a layover in LA. The comedy and magic club Ended up being a highlight of our trip. The comics were hilarious, and the food was great. The service was a little slow, and it seemed like they could’ve used one or two more people, but overall it was a fantastic experience.

Cool comedy club and very funny. We saw Alonzo Bodden and there were 3 comedians before him. Calamari is excellent and fresh. FYI, hard alcohol drinks are almost $20 each and our uncle was not very happy to get an $80 bill at the end.

On a Sunday, my family and I, a party of five, celebrated a very special occasion, my mom's birthday, at this comedy club featuring the legendary Jay Leno. We had purchased our tickets online in advance and arrived at 5:00 PM when both the doors and the parking lot opened. For those unfamiliar, the parking lot is located in the alley directly behind the building and is accessible from the south. Upon our arrival, we noticed a line, but the doors opened promptly, and our tickets were scanned. A friendly host guided us to our table, where the club enforces a two-item minimum per person requirement. Arriving early allowed us to eat dinner before the show, at 7:00 PM. The club offers a mocktail menu. I highly recommend the Passion Spritz, a refreshing drink that delivers a well-balanced ginger beer flavor without being overly sweet. For food, I ordered the pretzel and the Caprese salad. The pretzel was impressively large, perfect for sharing among 4-5 people, and came with mustard and cheese dip. The warmth and softness of the pretzel paired perfectly with the flavorful dips. The Caprese salad featured generous, juicy tomato slices, creamy mozzarella, and a bed of fresh arugula drizzled with balsamic glaze. The quality of the food exceeded my expectations. A lovely touch of the evening was when the club acknowledged my mom's birthday. They have a charming tradition of acknowledging birthdays and anniversaries, complete with a fun birthday song. This thoughtful recognition made my mom's day even more special. One small note, the women's restroom has only three stalls, so be prepared for a possible wait during busy times. The comedy show itself was great, featuring three entertaining openers followed by the Jay Leno. Each performer delivered a funny set that had us laughing throughout the evening. For a fun and memorable night of laughter and good food, I recommend this comedy club. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's a fantastic choice for entertainment and celebration.

On my 2nd time here I had a great experience again. I was seated at a table I liked and started the evening out with delicious minicrabcakes and angus beef sliders with fries. There were 10 amazing and hilarious comedians as advertised with no duds, which is not the rule at most comedy clubs I've been usually having to put up with at least a few dud comedians. My favorites on stage were Orion Levine and Chris Turner from the Uk who did a very funny and impressive improvised comedy rap using audience suggestions. I rode my bicycle(they even have a bike rack)there, so parking wasn't an issue and the location is easy to find and convenient. For the show, 2 food items and tip, I spent $80 which I consider a good deal for the quality and laughs on offer here. This is hands down the best comedy club in the Southbay.

This comedy club was a real vibe. I visited a comedy night with a couple friends and I'd say I wouldn't hesitate to go again. To start, there's plenty of metered parking around and the entryway to the club is disability friendly. From the bouncers to hosts and hostesses, the staff was very friendly. There are different comedians all the time and since I'm not a fan of vulgar humor, it was nice that a few of the comedians were funny while keeping it clean! There are also plenty of drink options and bites if you're feeling nibbly. There was a minimum purchase amount per table. However, I can't recall what it was.

1. The drinks and food were delicious! I really enjoy the sliders! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes since comedians and magicians are performing! 3. There are only indoor seatings! 4. The service staff were friendly and timely with order! 5. Street parking as well as parking structure are available! Note: There is a 2 menu item minimum per person for each event!

Of all the years I worked at NBC, I never actually saw Jay (Leno) perform live outside of work! So I've always wanted to check out his standup & he is still Performing amazing 2-hour sets at the Comedy & Magic club on Sunday nights. It's like dinner theater! How does Jay remember alllllll that dialogue?! So impressive! I love how clever his stories are! Pro tip: DON'T eat there! The food is so bland and overpriced! Eat nearby by the pier then get there around an hour before to get good seats. You sit at tables but they're first come, first served. No pictures which is why we don't have any of the performers but we'd definitely go back!

My husband and I were looking for a fun date night in the area while we were visiting. The comedians were ok with 2 rather funny (I'm sure this depends on the line up), the magician at the end was odd. The food is not the best - don't waste money on a steak (asked for medium and it was well done)... go for the bar food. The cocktails and soft pretzel were great.

Great comedians. Fun evening 5 Star Look up information for list of big name comedian Great comedians. Fun evening 5 Star Look up information for list of big name comedian

It hasn't changed in 30 years, but we had a really fun night. The servers hustled, the food is good and drinks are yummy. Jay Leno was amazing. Not a bad seat in the house.

Our first time here and we had a great time. Attended on my birthday and the service staff, comedians and drinks did not disappoint. Ironically I was celebrating my 47th and they had this up before the show.

We were greeted graciously. We were shown to our seats, and very shortly thereafter, our server (Mariel) introduced herself and asked if we had any questions. We ordered a bottle of wine which satisfied the "two item minimum", however we also grazed on appetizers and desserts which were surprisingly tasty. The ambiance is somewhat dimly lit, with some framed collectibles from comic legends. We attended on a Sunday evening which is often the slot for Jay Leno. His opening acts were very good. The show room is medium sized and there doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will definitely return.

Came to see Paul Reiser and he was a hidden gem. Seeing someone in an ensemble show on TV doesn't show their true talent. Mr. Raiser's jokes, his delivery, timely, relatable material was spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed the show from beginning to end. The cost of the shows are very reasonable. Have always appreciated the Comedy & Magic Club for putting on an annual fundraiser for a young man who became quadriplegic thru a snowing accident . Not many businesses would do that!

Great spot to experience Hermosa. We came on a night that Craig Shumaker was there and while he was funny, he went a bit rogue and went too long which is why I took away a star. We loved the food and the ambiance. You don't get the same feel as this comedy club as you do in some of the newer spaces. We were able to enjoy a full steak dinner at a table beforehand which was awesome. Recommended to check out the 10 comedian nights.

Amazing place - The food is amazing and so are the comics. They have the 10 comics nights. You will enjoy yourselves.

It was Ian Bagg headlining tonight for another sold out show. I have been coming to The Comedy & Magic Club for years. It is a mainstay in the South Bay. Drinks have always been great but what a change in the food offerings. It's always been delicious but it went from "bar food" to fine dining. Food used to be served in plastic baskets with a paper liner and now it's real plates. Their menu is on their website- https://thecomedyandmagicclub.com/menu/ The host comedian and magician/comedian were good but Ian Bagg was so funny, I was crying. Crowd surfing but Ian has such a quick wit and he always has something to say. I can't wait until he returns. Ok, bye.

I made reservations online but for the wrong time , when I realized it they made the changes with no problem..The show was fantastic the food was delicious and we all had a complete Ball.

My husband does some work for Jay Leno on occasion, and Jay was kind enough to call us in two VIP tickets for his show last Sunday night. We had a great time here. The people who work here are extremely friendly and professional. They have great people working at the door, and their servers are very organized, friendly and did a wonderful job taking care of all the customers. We had good food and great ambiance. The seats are arranged so there really is no bad seat in the house. The show started right at 7 and they had a really funny guy who did crowd work before Jay came on. Definitely recommend this venue!! A huge thanks to Jay for being so generous to us.

We went to the comedy Magic club with two other couples a couple of months ago and had an amazing time. The venue is on the smaller side so you should get there early to get good seating and parking can be tough although they do have parking above in the lot, but you can only park there for the show and need to move your car immediately afterwards. Comedians were really funny and food was OK. There's a minimum food and drink or not very much but would not eat there again.

Just got back from the 10 comics at 8pm show and I can't remember the last time I saw a show that good. Every single comedian brought something hilarious, start to finish. This was our third time seeing stand up at the comedy & magic club in a couple years and by far the best lineup. Our cheeks hurt from smiling by the end of the night. Wish I got a list of all the performers names so I could follow them on socials. We'll be back soon.

It was me and my BF first time here to see JR De Guzman. First timer they were so nice and sat us right in the front row! It was a different experience to be able to see it from the front. The food and drinks were good. Overall a great experience with friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Come early for food and to get the best seats! Good actually looked pretty good and it is first come first serve for seating. Came here on a weekend to see Jay Leno and had a great time. My favorite acts were actually the comedians who proceeded him and I found Jay to be quite boring and difficult to understand to be honest. I think his comedic style and humor is geared towards another generation. The food looked really good as I saw it come out and the drinks were alright. We were seated in the back because we only came about 15 minutes early but still had a nice view because we were on the ledge, but I feel like if you were sitting behind us it may have been difficult to see. A great experience with a lot of fun comedians. Will be bringing friends here another time!

Hidden gem in the Southbay and in an amazing location! Great atmosphere, nice staff, entertaining acts, good quality dinner! Our first visit was so much fun! We will be back and referring our friends and family!

Perfect for adults of all ages, my favorite feature is the Sunday night show with Jay Leno. This little comedy club has all the power and punch of a larger venue. Two item minimum for purchase is usually a drag in many places, but the food here is actually phenomenal, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Add yourself to their mailing list and be notified of multi comic night specials. Helpful hint, take an Uber. There is limited parking in Hermosa Beach but it is well worth the Uber ride and that way you can enjoy your cocktails.

We saw Jay Leno here and he was amazing! This is a wonderful venue. Very friendly staff. The food and drinks were great! Highly recommended!!

A great time, worth looking into the special comedians. A good time with a date or friends. Get there 20 minutes early to pick your seat on many nights.

saw the 10 comedians in the smaller room. Food was good. Service great. The comedians were so funny and it was an enjoyable experience. Would definitely go again!!! Only negative was parking!

Went here for the first time for my birthday to see Paul Reiser. Got there early enough and didn't really have to wait to go in. They checked our e-tickets and asked if we had been before. We said no, so the woman sat us directly in front of the stage - no complaints there! The tables around the stage ARE very close together though so hopefully you like squishing up a bit with strangers. I was hoping to engage some of them in convo but none seemed up for that, oh well. There is a 2 drink minimum here per person which we did know about. We ate dinner before hand since they have a limited menu and it wasn't our kind of food. We asked the waitress if one bottle of prosecco counted as 4 drinks and she said yes, so my husband and I split that. Show started pretty exactly on time and the opener was short and sweet - not literally, but his set was about 10 minutes and entertaining. Paul Reiser then came on shortly after and did about a 90 minute set which we both loved. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was SO much complaining from the older crowd. A woman behind me didn't like *anything* she drank or ate and talked about it, loudly, several times. "This tastes like dirt, this is the worst thing I've ever had." Dramatic. The woman next to me was also cranky her son's food came out first, yada yada. Boomers, amirite? Anyway, had a very fun time and Paul Reiser did a great set. Also helped that we sat literally under his nose. Volume was good though - could hear everything but was not deafened. Can't post any photos because you're not allowed to have your phone out during the performances!

It saddens me to give this review, because I absolutely love the comedy and magic club. As a local, we've been going here for years, but recently it has just been extremely downhill for them. The staff needs a peptalk, our waitress made us feel unwelcome. The food used to be great here, now it's some pseudo, fine dining menu. Very little options, and not appetizing whatsoever. I'm drinking a beer at a comedy show, I don't want roasted brussels sprouts or grilled shrimp as an appetizer. Bring back the snack food. And last night we were told there's now a three drink maximum? I'm not a big drinker in general, but if I'm getting there when doors open, I'm going through one drink/hr and I've hit the max before the headliner even comes on. The shows are always great, love the variety of comics, but you guys HAVE to do something about the menu.

I was so excited to find out this place was in walking distance (15 minutes) from Hampton inn Hermosa which we were staying at. We left the hotel at 7:30 and got there at 7:45. The bouncer was funny and friendly. There were a lot of nicely dressed people on dates or out for their birthday, so we felt a little underdressed, but we were super welcomed in. We got a 2 table spot in the back since it's first arrive first seated. We didn't mind at all. It was a great spot. The show started right on time. All 10 of the comedians were hilarious and unique in their own ways and I enjoyed parts if not the full presentation of all the comedians: Kira Soltanovich Fabrizio Copano Armando Anto Kaycee Conlee - my favorite! Andrew Orolfo Angel Gaines Ron Pearson BT Kingsley Ben Gleib

First time at Comedy & Magic last night. Good food but especially good comedy and magic. Was great to see Kristi McHugh out on this side of town being her hilarious self. I'll tell my friends and we'll be back. Dennis Allard Santa Monica

If you are under 25, do NOT go to this comedy club! I went with a group of friends and we did not have a good time. The comedy club was filled with older men and women, and the jokes were not for our demographic. Our server, Michael, was rude and discourteous because we were young group. He would wait on us last and help his other tables first. The club itself has a nice atmosphere, but if you are under 25 they make it extremely apparent that they do not want your business. I'll be back when I'm 65 and retired, maybe I might have a good time then.

This was my first time at the Magic & Comedy Club in Hermosa and it definitely did not disappoint! It's a surprisingly large venue. The host was friendly and the waitstaff was attentive and wonderful. The comics and the magician we saw were FANTASTIC! Especially the engineer at the end who straight busted out a POWERPOINT a presentation...HILARIOUS! The s'mores dessert was great, and people who had dinner there said the food was good. I'll have to have dinner there next time. I am absolutely going back for another show!

I watched comedy here on November 17th! Class club all the way - probably the best club I've visited in the last year. I've been coming to Comedy & Magic for years and just love it so much. Great service and solid food. Clean and well maintained environment. Saw a great comic open things up and I wish the club would have her back more often. Kristi McHugh was really really funny and brought a great energy to kick off the show. Bring her back please! Thanks again for such a class club experience! Brian

Recently went to the 10 comics Sunday night show. Pretty disappointing compared to past 10 comic shows. Only really enjoyed 3/10. What's up with comedy these days. First it was Covid, then politics and woke stuff. Comedy bar has been lowered.

I've been to the club quite a few times over the years and I've always had a great time. Last night (New Years Eve) was very different. Jay Leno and his openers were great as always, HOWEVER the woman at the door who was checking everyone in was a NIGHTMARE. Unfortunately it put me and my buddies in a horrible mood, not a good way to start 2025. I am a teacher and a comedian as well as a person who gets along with everyone has always has fun. I've don't know her name but it was clear that many of the other staff who were seating people felt the same way I did. They helped my mood, so thank them please. She was rude, nasty, disrespectful and not how you want to be treated entering a club....especially a comedy club. I'm sorry to write all this. It's my very first time writing a yelp review. I will come back, but if she is there I will run.

Went here and had a great time, the stand-up comedians were great and hilarious. Service was amazing, the staff is always helpful and kind. The ambiance was nice and set a good tone. Only problem was the basil pesto pasta, I wouldn't recommend it. It was very dry and no basil pesto taste at all. Drinks were good though!

We were excited to see our first comedy show. Ten hopeful comedians performed for about ten minutes each. They were all unique and funny but not as funny as I had hoped. They require a two seinn no k minimum and my daughter and I are not drinkers so we had a tea and coffee and a wine and then paid $4.50 for nothing for our fourth drink requirement. The seating was great, the ambiance and staff was great and I think it was a wonderful place for a fun evening. It started on time at 8:00 and was over by 10:00. Great safe location close to pier street. A fun time was had by all. Give it a try for a delightful evening experience.

Great club for comedy mostly rarely do you see magician they've been in business for 46 years . I've seen a lot of famous people there. I just wished their food selection was a little bit more variety like having a burger or fries on the menu. But you will definitely enjoy the comedy.

So I was torn. I'll get the neg outa the way - then follow with positives. The staff from the get go didn't seem to like their jobs - had us wait until exactly the start time although it was sprinkling-had us walk through a troth of water -- which was no bueno. Is what it is. Seating was good for us-- because we were able to pick a nice solo spot. No complaints there. Seats were hard and uncomfortable- my buns were hurting by the end of the 2hours. Food. Pass on the mushy tiger shrimp. Although I appreciated no repercussions the night of or next day. Yay. The ginger ale tasted like dirty fountain parts/ very musty. The silverware hasn't been polished since purchased. I kept thinking they were dirty. But they were legitimately clean. So. Once polished I'm sure would look new for 20 more yrs. Done with complaining. I enjoyed the atmosphere - all of the performances were great. Some obviously better than others. Definitely did their things. The service was great. Although unhappy looking- they were fast diligent and always accessible. I've been to many dive type comedy clubs and tbh. This wasn't one of them. A few simple tweaks could make this the place to want to be. I'd love for the comedians to have a lil poster with their social media or QR codes. Being you were not supposed to use your phones. It was difficult to get their names so that you could enjoy more of their comedy. Parking on street was easy breezy. Great place.

I have been here twice, both times to see K-von Moezzi. Both times, it has been a very clean facility with a cool to vivid ambiance set by the lighting. The entertainment stage is at an interesting angle, but somehow it works so well! The entertainers who perform here always deliver an amazing show, from what I have heard. K-von sure does! The location isn't horrible either. The only downside is parking, but that's an LA problem anyway. After years of being a local you learn the hidden and select streets with open parking only a few blocks away from where you want to go... but if you're not a local those meters can be quite annoying

Great time at the Comedy and Magic Club! A Great Place for dinner ,drinks and a lot of laughs!

Truly amazing evening - should have booked last night (Saturday) but delayed in case some friends wanted to join us. When I tried to reserve this (Sunday) morning for the Sunday evening Jay Leno show they were sold out - so our only resort was to show up as doors opened at 5pm and out our names on the waitlist. And we got in! Right at the back of the theater but we were in! So glad we made it!! Two lead off comedians were funny as Hell and warmed up the crowd. Then there was Jay Leno - I wasn't his greatest fan by the end of the Tonight Show I have to admit- but as a stand up comedian this evening he was AMAZING!!! One hour and 20 minutes of laughing your head off - and the whole thing cost $30 each. We will be back in Hermosa Beach in August and we will be back here for sure!!!!!!

First time at the Comedy & Magic Club. I was thoroughly impressed with the customer service! Once the comedians came on the service did not stop. I was truly amazed. I must say the comedians were beyond hilarious. I enjoyed every moment from start to finish. I will definitely be back soon. Thank you for an awesome night!

How can you beat $20 for 10 painstakingly funny comedians?! The answer is, you can't! I think I set my expectations low for this place, I found it by chance, and I had never heard of it, but we were going to be in town for the weekend, so I thought what the heck, its probably 10 local comedians, it can't be "that bad". I was proved WRONG! The entire experience was great, and like I said you heard some hilarious comedy! There is street parking and parking on the roof, You take a ticket and you pay for it down in the ticket booth of the club. For admission, I recommend purchasing your tickets in advance online (online is an easy process! Other people were waiting outside to see if there was room the night of, which had to suck, since it was a cold windy night). I think seating is first come, first serve (but not positive)- so arrive early, especially with a large group. It was just my husband and I that weekend so we were okay, but we arrived 30 minutes early, and the place was almost full. The tables are all pretty close together, so just a head's up about that. They do birthday things (not sure if its a package for purchase, but they do shout outs, pictures, dessert, so make sure to inquire if that is your thing!) You can order dinner, appetizers, and drinks. I ordered a sparkling soda, my husband had a couple beers, and we shared a spinach/artichoke dip. It was a pretty basic, yummy spinach/artichoke dip. Chips were nice and fresh. Other dishes we saw that other tables ordered looked pretty nice too. Great, kind service. Overall completely exceeded my expectations! They had a great line up for a great price!! Well done!

We often go to comedy shows around the LA area, but it was our first visit to the Comedy & Magic Club. What a great place! We were so impressed with the food, the service and of course the comics. Every single act had us laughing. Our favorite comedian was Kristi McHugh. She had us in stitches!! We will definitely be back!

Me and my family love this place, normally. We finally decided to go see the Sunday night show with Leno. he was good but the sound in the place was horrible towards the back. Everyone was so quiet, you could have heard of pin drop but could barely hear Leno at all, other than when he spoke up. We told at least 3 different employees who did nothing except acknowledge the complaint. I would love to see him again if I knew the speakers would be better or if I could get an upfront table. I feel bad for anyone that is in the back. Just not worth going. Very disappointed and wish they would do something about it.

Shows are 5 star, however staff is incredibly rude. Good luck with it. It was never this bad until they reopened up.

Great performances. I thought it was going to be comedians practicing stand up but they brought experienced comedians/magicians. Food was good, drinks were creative and excellent service. Didn't know a place like this would exist in Hermosa Beach!

Outstanding service! Great value! Why drive to Hollywood or Long Beach when we have a wonderful club in the South Bay!

Great show last night with Jay Leno and surprise guest Arsenio Hall!!! Absolutely amazing! Jimmy Brogan was there also and absolutely love love! As usual they knocked it out of the park. Food and drinks were good. Brussel sprouts are out of this world, may be the best I have ever had! Service always on par! Great seating with easy views of the stage. Thank you CMC for a memorable evening with friends. And hey...Remember to tip minimum 20%++!! This is a tough gig.

The place has a fairly small venue so no matter where you are sitting you are still pretty close to the stage. I saw Jay Leno perform and he was very funny! The service was friendly and attentive. The beer was cold. I like the fact that management has a 3 drink maximum which cuts down on any drunks who would get out of control and ruin your good time. I will definitely be back.
