Cheaper Than Therapy Stand-up Comedy
Cheaper Than Therapy brings live stand-up comedy year-round to San Francisco’s historic Shelton Theater, right in the heart of Union Square. Each show features five to six hand-picked, experienced comedians plus the occasional guest drop-in. The bar opens at 7pm so you can settle in with a craft drink before the show kicks off at 7:45pm. Last seating is at 8:05pm and the show wraps by 9:15pm — plan to arrive by 7:30pm to check in with the box office and snag a good seat. There’s a full bar on site with no drink minimum, keeping things relaxed and low-pressure. Tickets vary in price; grab yours in advance through the box office link below.
