Upright Citizens Brigade
Where do up-and-coming LA comedians go for chuckles? This popular club, founded in NYC by SNL alum Amy Poehler and others, is a top choice. The club sits on a short but bustling block noted for sociable restaurants frequented by screenwriters, Hollywood assistants and young TV stars. It’s technically in Hollywood but the vibe is more Los Feliz.
