The Purple Onion looks like its on the brink of closing. They barely get the doors open for the show which meant wandering about until about 15 minutes before show time. People didn't want to sit up front so the place looked mostly empty and the drinks and drink service is pretty lousy. I'd go again to see up and coming comedians but I would keep my expectations low in terms of drinks, service and overall ambiance.Written on Aug 27 2007

There was a "reading" that preceded the show.. The place was almost full and they announced that anyone who wanted to stay could do so for FREE!Written on May 24 2007
I am protesting the payment to my amex card and don't think I should pay either.

The show was way too long...should have cut it down to no more than 2 hours, but pushing almost 3 was a bit much. It was nice having different comedians for 5 minute segments, most were pretty funny. Still had a good time :)Written on Aug 16 2007

More Information About One Night Stand-Up Comedy Showcase
Description
Local comedian and show producer Justin McClure adds a much-needed comedy venue to the San Francisco comedy scene by reviving comedy at the Purple Onion. The Purple Onion, swanky in design and rich in history, is known for showcasing legendary greats such as Richard Pyror, Lenny Bruce, Smothers Brothers, Phyllis Diller, Maya Angelou, and Woody Allen. In addition, local greats such as Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Will Durst, and Greg Proops have been known to drop-in for surprise guest sets. No existing structure has such stature in the history of San Francisco's bohemian comedians, and its subterranean walls echo each Wednesday with laughter in this weekly professional stand-up showcase.
Headliners:
- Sept 19th: Richard Villa (Latin Kings of Comedy, 'Got Milk' commercials)
- Sept 26th: Tim Lee ('A Comic Calling' film, DC Comedy Festival)
- Oct 3rd: SPF7 Sketch Group (Gulf Coast Comedy Festival)
