​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

Think Judge Judy meets stand-up comedy—except the cases are way dumber (but equally entertaining).

Two comics go head-to-head arguing for-and-against your most absurd, everyday disputes and YOU are the jury on whether who is the a*shole. We’re talking disputes like:

• I unplugged my boyfriend’s PlayStation mid-game because he wouldn’t help with the dishes.
• My friend want to use charge me $50 to park at his driveway during Outside Lands
• My Hinge date ghosted me after I declined to tip at a restaurant, even though I could afford it, because the service was bad.

HOW THIS SHOW WORKS

📝 You submit your pettiest problems anonymously.

🎭 3 - 4 of best comics in the Bay Area - as seen on Punch Line, Cobb’s Comedy Club, SF Sketchfest, and internationally - put them on trial with over-the-top monologues, fake protests, and chaotic courtroom antics…

💡 YOU vote on who is the a*shhole (and maybe walk away with a renewed sense of justice)
