About this Event
Looking for things to do in Arcadia tonight? Enjoy live stand-up comedy in the San Gabriel Valley near Pasadena, followed by late-night karaoke. This special New Joke City Open Mic is an interactive comedy riff show where any comedian can sign up and create jokes live from audience suggestions.
Based on the hit New Joke City format, comics take ideas from the crowd and turn them into punchlines in real time. This is not a traditional open mic and not a fixed troupe — performers collaborate, riff, build tags, and experiment together on stage. Expect crowd work, improvisation, spontaneous joke writing, and unpredictable moments as comedians develop material live.
Audience members are part of the show, shouting out topics, sharing confessions, and helping shape the comedy. Whether you're performing or just watching, every set is different and built on interaction. Perfect for comedy fans, aspiring comedians, and anyone looking for a unique live comedy experience in Arcadia.
Comedians of all levels are welcome to sign up. Great for first-timers, experienced comics, and anyone who enjoys collaborative, fast-paced stand-up. Drinks available, with karaoke after the show.
