The Clubhouse was pretty nice venue. It was clean and easy to find. Very easy accessible by BART. The acts themselves. Some were good, and some were not good at all. Totally worth the $3.50 price. Cheap entertainment with no booze.Written on Jul 12 2010

I liked it. Location is easly accessed and threater clean. performances were decent, some need more practice. I would do it again for sure. The last comedian was really bad she stood at edge of stage. I thought she would fall off, and Her jokes awful.Written on Jun 30 2010

Description
The Stand Up Project, the SFCC's pro stand-up troupe, features the best of the best trained at the San Francisco Comedy College. This show is 90 minutes of non-stop laughter as these stand-up veterans take the stage each week! The line-up varies each week and includes a weekly humorous news report.
After the 80s comedy boom, San Francisco was a devastated area characterized by smug political comics, alternative comedy with elliptical material, boring sketch and improv, disorder, and a general breakdown of society, especially in the coffee shops and smaller clubs of the city. When Kurtis Matthews arrived in 1997, his Aerosmith t-shirt tucked defiantly into his sweatpants like a suit of Catskillian armor, he found a deplorable state of affairs. Upon witnessing yet another mediocre local showcase, Matthews began to consider forming a troupe patterned after entertainers that were popular during his time, such as Yakov Smirnoff, Willie Tyler and Lester, Charo, and Ray Stevens. When the premise of prescription drug advertisements was brought up seven times in one evening, Matthews called together sixteen of the city’s leading comics, who met in secret, emerging as a united front dedicated to fighting hackery.
The group became known as The Stand Up Project. The originality displayed by the collective eventually gained local attention. Their highly-acclaimed extravaganzas, such as, The Nipsey Russell Poetry Slam, and, BJ and the Bear on Ice, solidified their legendary status.
Still operating out of their home base, The Clubhouse at 414 Mason Street in San Francisco, the members of the Stand Up Project hope to one day leave Godless California and open a theater in Branson, Missouri, where they shall entertain true Americans and Japanese tourists. Their new show, The Best Little Whorehouse in Stand-Up, opens in the fall.
