The Setup Downtown SF: Stand Up Comedy

The Setup is a unique brand of entertainment. We run speakeasy style shows in venues with rich histories.In San Francisco we have storytelling and stand up comedy nights in the Ales Unlimited Beer Basement. It used to be the green room for the famed Black Hawk jazz club. Miles Davis snorted coke here. Storytelling is every Thursday and stand-up is every Friday and Saturday.More info:http://www.setupcomedy/san-francisco

Our goal is to provide a truly raw alternative experience. San Francisco is known for indulging and incubating the absurd whims, oddities, and genius of the freaks who call it home. Think Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, Jefferson Airplane.
