About The Comedy Store

The Comedy Store opened in April 1972 on the Sunset Strip, founded by Sammy Shore and Rudy De Luca. It occupies the building that was once Ciro's, a Hollywood nightclub that ran from 1940 to 1957. Shows play in three spaces: the Original Room, which began as a 99-seat theater, the 450-seat Main Room added after 1976, and the Belly Room.
