The Set Up (in LA)

Tucked behind a no-frills barber shop in Highland Park, there’s this cool little speakeasy where something special happens. It’s like stepping into a different dimension – you walk through the barber shop, past the chairs and aftershave, and bam, you’re in this mystical world. A retro cocktail bar that has been hosting exclusive standup comedy for over 5 years.A small corner stage where killers like Kyle Kinane, Beth Stelling, Bobcat Goldthwait & Maria Bamford have come through to hone their craft. One monday a month, a select audience can catch a mix of big names and new faces trying out their best lines. It’s like everyone’s in on a secret, laughing together in this hidden corner of the city. Dim lights, vinyl booths, vintage decor, old-fashioned cocktails, and intimate access to the best comics on earth – it’s pretty cool. And yes, they serve a legit grilled cheese sandwich, so get there early for a good seat!
