“Literally the best comedy show I’ve seen this year and Whitney Cummings as a headliner? Looks like Santa Monica has the new Comedy Store. The best night out you could find on the Westside.”

“Simply a great night. Went with a group of 4. The place has plenty of free parking when you arrive. It is small, cute and perfect size for some laughs. It’s owner is absolutely doing something special here and building an amazing business that community is at its core. The comedians were all awesome and the programming lasted for about two hours. Overall, highly recommend!! Was better than any of the cattle calls of the weho traditional clubs. We 100% will be coming back.”

“The Crow puts on consistently funny, cool shows. Also, I attended an informational panel there last night. Nicole Blaine asked the questions I was DYING to know the answers to but would have been too *shy* to ask. This business is so mystifying and I feel so often like I'm doing too much and not enough all at once. People like Nicole (and Autumn and Bruce!) are incredibly kind to shine a light on the process.”

“A true gem of a place! Intimate venue so every seat has a good view of the stage. The comedians are a mix of up-and-coming and professionals, and they have classes for children, teens and adults too! Parking is so easy, accessible and free. Highly recommend catching one of their family friendly or 21+ shows, tickets are very well priced and it’s guaranteed a fun night out.”

“What a cool venue in a hidden gem within Santa Monica. The comedian lineup is great, a truly diverse and of-the-times programming - something for kids, teens, adults- very, very cool. I think my highlight was the owners- such a great story behind them and truly amazing hosts throughout the night. Will bookmark their website calendar to keep coming back to The Crow.”

“The perfect venue. Beautiful atmosphere, fantastic comics, and wonderful people. The Crow is now my favorite place to see stand up. You can feel the heart of this place as soon as you arrive, immediately inviting friendship and laughter amongst the crowd. Cannot wait to return.”

“This room is so cool! Great location. Amazing talent. Just saw Adam Conover do the most amazing set. And, they focus on comedy for teens. Check it out immediately.”

“Great comedy club. Great lineups. I have been to The Crow several times and loved it each time. It's a truly beautiful space that defies the stereotype of what a comedy club is "s'posed to be". Bonus stars from me for the easy free parking and proximity to Birdie G's.”

“If you're looking for a laid back night full of laughs, check out The Crow! The venue is awesome - it's small and intimate. There isn't a bad seat in the house. There is a jazz band that plays music before and after the show. The comedians when we went were: Jen Kober, Alex Hooper, Stephen Agyei, and Julia Stone. They were all HILARIOUS! Everyone was laughing nonstop! There is free parking, the bathrooms are clean, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby for dinner beforehand or drinks afterwards. We will definitely be back to support this local comedy club!”

“This is a beautiful new comedy space featuring youth comedy classes, and both all-ages shows and adult shows! It’s in a lovely collection of galleries, restaurants, and theatres in Bergamot Station. It’s all just as Santa Monica as you would think it would be!”
-Virginia J. (Google Reviews)
“This place is AWESOME!! I was in town visiting family and so excited to find a new place like this on the Westside. The venue is really cool - retro with a modern flare - and there is tons of free parking! The club owner greeted us when we checked in (so cool!) and every comedian was amazing. We left crying we were laughing so much. Can't wait to go back, I hope this place sticks around forever!!”
-Jayme M. (Yelp)
“The Crow is Santa Monica's latest live comedy venue- located in Bergamot Station, there's free parking and lots of cute little galleries, theatres, and restaurants-The room is cozy and with brand new lighting, sound, and fresh decor- it's a space concentrating on the next generation of comics and comedy fans, but with great shows happening all the time!”
-Virginia J. (Yelp)
“If you are looking for a unique, fun and memorable place to throw a private party, look no further and rush to The Crow. We celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday there with friends and family. We were treated to our own private show. It was an ideal place for newly minted 21 yr olds to discover the beauty of comedy and laughter with friends. Highly recommend it.”
-Vivienne V. (Yelp)
“Nicole, THANK YOU!! Yesterday was fantastic, every member of the team loved it. It was a truly team building exercise, one of the best I have been to! I appreciate your professionalism and preparation, it elevated the experience. The comedians were top notch and you and Mickey were perfect!”
-Gabby (in response to a team building event for Google)
“Our eight-year-old daughter got to perform stand-up for an audience. It was one of those moments I will never forget as a parent. I got to see a side of her that I'd never seen. She was poised, confident, and really looked like she was in her element. We always thought she'd like to be on stage, but she's never been this excited about any theater, dance, or singing performance she's done in the past. She's always liked telling and writing jokes, but we didn't think much of it. I'm not sure what they exactly did at the camp, but they really helped her to find herself on the stage. I've never seen her shine as she did during the show after just 5 days of camp. Also, the show at the end of the week was incredibly well produced. You'd think a kids' comedy show would probably be a little boring and awkward, but it was actually incredibly entertaining and fun. Thank you!”
-Suzanne N. (Yelp)
“Your camp is fantastic. I am beyond impressed that all the kids got up on stage fully confident in themselves and performed, workshopped material, told jokes and put on a fabulous show. (My kid) had a great time. perfect age group (10 in this case) which is hard to pull off in a camp! Loved the counselors. Fun, young, energetic. Funny. Great group.”
-Ava A. (Parent)
“I just LOVED every aspect! I loved the way you guys weaved improv, sketches, stand-up, etc the flow was amazing! And so hilarious and entertaining. Not one moment of boredom. Mostly super impressed with these kids and their courage and professionalism - WOW - seriously stunned by how cool that was. She was trepidatious at first and the first day was already “hooked”!! Made my heart soar to see her beaming! I’m so grateful”
-Liz A. (Parent)
“(My kid) had the most amazing experience at Comedy Camp! He's always been funny and this camp just took it to a whole new level. I'm so thankful to The Crow for creating the camp and I wish he could have gone to more than one session. Hopefully next summer. :)”
-Lisa H. (Parent)
