DNA's Comedy Lab

"Went to see the show with headliner Craig Low and it was an awesome show! I dont drink anymore, however, I noticed they have a great selection of beer and other drinks to enjoy during shows. The owner of the "comedy lab" did some standup as well and it was very enjoyable! I was laughing so much, I'll be sure to be back!! I'm so thankful we finally have a place for great standup in Santa Cruz.... it was about time!"

"This place is super cool. It’s a total nostalgia trip because I used to go to the movies there all the time when I was a kid, when it was still a theater, and I loved that they basically left everything as is. Great spot for comedy too... the seats are comfy (by comedy club standards), they’ve got some good beers on tap, and I love the backstory of a local standup comedian (who’s name/nickname is DNA and did a really funny quick set between two of the other performers) taking over a shuttered movie theater and turning it into a DIY comedy club. Super cool, nice people, hope they keep it going and folks support a cool local business and live comedy."

"DNA's Comedy Lab draws some surprisingly big names. The theater hosts a variety of cool events. The openers are always pretty strong. And also, the staff's really friendly. What a great place to spend a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night."

"Wife and I went to an open mic to watch and listen. Thursday. It was fun. People are either really brave or a little crazy to get up there and perform. The stage is simple as is the seating but the lighting was surprisingly delightful. The old theatre lobby is pretty cool. And the men's room next to the stage is interesting. Not intentional I'm sure but the traffic through the door added something. Can't say what though. There was beer and wine and food too I think. I saw one girl eat two meals. She was thin. I was like, "where is all this food going? And where is it coming from?" I didn't see a kitchen. Anyway, I like seeing women eat with savage abandon. And so I digress. The comedy was fun and funny mostly and I applaud the people who give it go. My wife and I will return."

"wonderful venue, beautiful! great show last night, 3 great performers just sorry DNA was in Chico but met his wife, Jessica. all staff great customer service, too Jami Cassady."
