​Hecklers Welcome: SF's First Stand-Up Comedy Show That Invites Heckling!

Bring your best burns—or prepare to be burned.

Welcome to Hecklers Welcome!, San Francisco’s only stand-up show where you get to talk back. This is not your average comedy night—this is a full-blown verbal brawl, where comics come ready to spar and the audience gets a license to heckle. Got jokes? Bring 'em. Got beef? Air it. Think you're funnier than the pros? Talk back and find out.

THURSDAY NIGHTS - LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO!

Here, the fourth wall doesn’t just crack—it crumbles. Quick-witted comics fire back in real time, turning heckles into punchlines and burns into roasts. No snowflakes, no safe spaces, just savage stand-up and brutal honesty. You bring the noise—we bring the fire.

Think of it as stand-up meets fight club... but you can talk about it.

🎤 Heckler Highlights:
👊 Fast-paced 70–90 minute show where heckling is part of the fun
🔥 4–5 fearless pro comics from Cobb’s, Punch Line, SF Sketchfest & more
🍸 Two-drink minimum – sip, shout, repeat
