Laugh Factory, Comedy club on Sunset Strip, Los Angeles, United States
The Laugh Factory contains a main stage, professional lighting system, and seating arrangements designed specifically for comedy performances in its Hollywood location.
Jamie Masada established the Laugh Factory in 1979 at age 16, making it the first comedy club to implement fair payment practices for performing artists.
Richard Pryor, Paul Mooney, Tom Dreesen, and George Miller initiated the tradition of standout performances that continues with regular shows by current comics.
The venue maintains a schedule of two nightly performances from Thursday through Sunday, with additional programming during special events and holidays.
The building housing the Laugh Factory belonged to Groucho Marx before its transformation into a comedy venue that launched numerous entertainment careers.
