Cheaper Than Therapy Stand-up Comedy
Cheaper Than Therapy runs live stand-up comedy year-round at the Shelton Theater in Union Square, one of San Francisco’s most storied small stages. Each show features five to six experienced comedians, with occasional surprise guest drop-ins keeping things unpredictable. The bar opens at 7pm — get there early for craft drinks and your pick of seats. Check in at the box office by 7:30pm; the show starts at 7:45pm and wraps by 9:15pm. Last seating is 8:05pm, so don’t push it. There’s no drink minimum, just good comedy in an intimate setting. Tickets vary in price — check the box office link for current availability.
