Quick answer: San Diego comedy runs on a handful of rooms: the American Comedy Co. downtown and The Comedy Store in La Jolla book touring headliners on weekends, while bars in North Park and Ocean Beach carry cheap or free weeknight showcases and open mics. Weekend headliner shows have a two-item minimum and a hard age limit; weeknight showcases usually do not.
Pulled from the same San Diego County event database as our weekend, tonight and monthly calendars, then narrowed to this category. Dates and venues update automatically.

Dated picks straight from our San Diego events calendar, ranked by venue, verification and completeness. Every listing shows its own date, so this list stays accurate all week.
Browse the full calendar on San Diego events, or jump to today, tonight, this weekend, or concerts this week.
Friday and Saturday shows are ticketed headliner sets, usually $25–$45 plus a two-item minimum. Weeknight showcases and open mics run $0–$15 and are where local comics work out material.
Most dedicated clubs are 21+ with ID checked at the door. All-ages comedy shows exist but are rare and usually theater bookings rather than club nights.
Club seating is assigned at the door in arrival order, so showing up at doors rather than showtime is the difference between the front and the back wall.
American Comedy Co. in the Gaslamp is the best all-around club — strong national bookings in a proper 200-seat basement room. The Comedy Store in La Jolla is the other major touring room, and the free and cheap weeknight showcases in North Park are where the local scene lives.
Headliner weekend shows are typically $25–$45 plus a two-item food and drink minimum. Open mics and local showcases run free to about $15.
Yes — several bars in North Park, Ocean Beach and Normal Heights host free weekly open mics and showcases. They appear on this page whenever we can verify the date and venue.
