San Francisco is where comedy gets made. Ali Wong cut her teeth here. Sheng Wang built his voice here. Moshe Kasher came up in these rooms. Taylor Tomlinson workshopped her first Netflix special on our stage. This city has always been where the best comics do their most dangerous work, and The Setup carries that tradition at The Palace Theater and The Lost Church.

Truly a hidden gem. 90 minutes of solid stand up comedy. Great way to spend a Saturday night. Be sure to arrive early since seating fills up fast.

Absolutely tremendous. We love comedy and these were some of the funniest comedians we have ever seen. It was our first time at The Setup and we cannot wait for the next show.

Best standup comedy show in San Francisco, hands down. I have been to shows in SF, Chicago, New York, and LA, and The Setup is my favorite. Consistently great comedians and an awesome venue.

The best comedy experience in San Francisco. You are whisked into an underground basement that is classy and totally worth it. Lineups are always great with comics from Netflix, HBO, and Comedy Central.
