About Comedy in Valencia

At J.R.'s Comedy Club, owner Randy Lubas has a knack for curating a top-notch rotation of established and up-and-coming comedians. Perhaps that's because he's a comedian, too, with observational humor skills that have led to 23 national TV appearances, including A&E's An Evening at the Improv. During many of the shows, comedian Jeff Johnson frequently hosts.

The club also teaches aspiring standups with its six-week comedy workshop, and works closely with the community to host fundraisers that benefit schools, churches, medical facilities, and sports teams. If some comedians smell better that they should, it's due to J.R.'s fragrant location inside Marie Callender's restaurant and bakery, where patrons can feast on entrees and pies during shows
