Recently went to The Setup Comedy at the Lost Church. Easily the funniest comedy show I’ve been too and highly recommend! Every comedian had unique personalities and sets. The host Austin did incredible crowd work, it was a memorable show for sure and will be back!
This is the best comedy experience in San Francisco. As soon as you enter the venue, you’re whisked away into an underground basement that is classy and totally worth the ticket price. The lineups for the shows are always great with comedians from Netflix, HBO and Comedy Central dropping in.
