Cheaper Than Therapy is a year-round stand-up comedy show at San Francisco’s historic Shelton Theater in the heart of Union Square. Each night features five to six hand-picked, experienced comedians along with occasional guest drop-ins. The bar opens at 7pm — arrive early for craft drinks and your pick of seats. Last seating is at 8:05pm, and the show kicks off at 7:45pm sharp, always wrapping by 9:15pm. Plan to check in with the box office by 7:30pm. There’s a full bar on-site with no drink minimum, making it an easy weeknight or weekend out whether you’re a local or just passing through the city.
