What Makes This Show Different Than Other Bay Area Comedy Shows?
The Comedians – A True Comedy Flight: The Comedians – A True Comedy Flight: Our lineup spans 10+ years of experience, from LA comics with Netflix, Hulu, Comedy Central, and Late Night credits to locals rocking weekends at Punch Line San Francisco & Cobb’s Comedy Club.
Because we run bi-monthly, we take our time curating—so you get a stacked lineup of seasoned talent, not a rushed weekly roster.
Premium Drinks: Rare Jamaican & Guyanese rums, signature cocktails, vinyl lounge vibes—this is a cocktail + comedy experience. Not many bars on the West Coast pour a 10-year Appleton Estate.
Connection Over Chaos: No long lines, no overcrowding. The show is capped at 36 people—every seat is prime, every laugh counts.
Logistics & Show Info:Sessions On 15th is in the heart of Downtown Oakland, just a block from 12th & 19th Street BART exits. Rideshare and public transit are easy, but weekend parking is limited. Audience 21+. Doors open 6:45 PM (7:00 PM show) & 8:35 PM (8:45 PM show). All sales are final—this keeps tickets fair and the experience intimate. Seating is limited, shows sell out fast, and this speakeasy-style comedy night is a must-see for a memorable Oakland evening.
