Celebrate Black History Month with live stand-up at San Francisco’s first Black-owned comedy club. Featuring the Bay Area’s best rising Black comedians, rotating lineups with credits like Cobb’s, Punch Line, SF Sketchfest, Cheaper Than Therapy, and often surprise drop-in sets from touring comics.

Each show features 4 to 5 pro comedians performing 70 to 90 minutes of stand-up in an intimate clubhouse-style venue on Market Street.

Arrive early for Happy Hour, Monday to Friday from 5pm to 7pm with $2 off cocktails, draft beer, and wine.

About The Function

The Function is San Francisco’s first Black-owned comedy club, located on Market Street near Hayes Valley. The space blends a stylish cocktail lounge with an intimate comedy room, creating a close, electric atmosphere where every show feels personal.

The club has quickly become a favorite hangout for working comics across the Bay Area. On any given night, you might see comedians stopping in after shows elsewhere, testing new material, or dropping in unexpectedly.

It’s a place where audiences get to experience comedy up close and often see rising talent and surprise guests before they move on to larger stages.
