You’ve heard these sayings before: “Laughter is the best medicine.” “Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone.” Could your funny bone use a little tickling? San Francisco has a rich comedic history and just the tonic for the doldrums.

SF Sketchfest kicks off each year as San Francisco's orignal annual comedy festival, bringing a cavalcade of sktech artists and a lineup of comedy specials to the city. Clusterfest will get your summer off right with its annual three-day showcase of national comedy headliners, live music, and hilarious entertainment surprises (June 21-23, 2019).

Beyond those recurring special events, San Francisco has stalwart comedy options throughout the year. Here is a quick guide to the city's comedic scene:

Beach Blanket Babylon

Laughter has exceeded the legal limit for more than four decades at Steve Silver’s “Beach Blanket Babylon,” 678 Beach Blanket Babylon Blvd. (Green). With more than 16,000 performances in San Francisco, it is the longest running musical review in theater history. The internationally acclaimed San Francisco institution parodies current events and is always as fresh as today’s headline. Extravagant costumes and huge hats add to the show’s zany appeal. “The New York Times” calls it “no less a part of San Francisco than the Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower.”

BATS

The largest and longest-running improv theater and school in Northern California, BATS performs new shows every weekend including “Improvised Farce” at its Bayfront Theater in Fort Mason and classes are offered year-round for students at all levels. The group is also widely known for its Theatresports format in which two teams of improvisers compete against each other for points. Performances are every Friday and Saturday.
