The Comedy Store

The 1970s launched the careers of Freddie Prinze, Richard Pryor, David Letterman, Jay Leno and more of the most legendary comics of all time.

The 1979 comedy strike forces Mitzi and The Store's comics into one of the darkest moments in comedy history, but the club soon recovers with incredible talents like the one and only Richard Pryor.

Sam Kinison, Andrew Dice Clay, Pauly Shore, Sandra Bernhard, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and others bring a wild energy to the Store.

Joe Rogan returns to the Store after a seven-year ban; the podcast success of Rogan, Marc Maron, Bill Burr and Whitney Cummings make the Store one of the hottest clubs in comedy.

A spotlight shines on Mitzi Shore's death, its impact on the iconic club and who's now running The Store; exploring the current state of stand-up and the new style of shows being developed on the famous stage.
