The Comedy Store and Ontario Improv are separated by more than just the 60 miles of freeway between them. The Store is the beating heart of LA comedy culture — where careers launch, specials are taped, and industry scouts lurk. Ontario Improv brings the national touring circuit to the Inland Empire, making quality comedy accessible to a huge swath of Southern California. The Store's energy is electric and unpredictable. Ontario's is professional and reliable. Both clubs serve their communities well; it's just that the Store also serves as comedy's living museum.
