Are the two picture nessassary? They are the same, pretty much.
Agreed, these are the exact same picture. The Sunset Strip runs through West Hollywood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.221.26 (talk) 23:51, August 29, 2007 (UTC)


wasn't adam carolla a host of Comic Strip Live? --69.30.67.169 20:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip is the same one in West Hollywood. There shouldn't be two pictures of the same thing. 75.4.20.141 04:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comic boycotting?

[edit]

Haven't several comedians publicly stated they wouldn't perform at the Laugh Factory anymore, due to its censorship policy? --208.65.188.23 (talk) 03:16, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The policy came out in Nov. 2006, and I do seem to remember some complaints. After that date, however, the two most famous incidents in non-televised stand-up are probably the Chappelle-Cook marathons in the article, and the Dick-Lovitz fight (which is not in the article). Both happened at the Laugh Factory. So it seems like they're at least holding on to their gift for free publicity. --M@rēino 03:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Factual Dispute

[edit]

The links before today's edit were dead and have been removed, leaving some information to be questionable.

  • The second Chappelle and Cook's records is not found and needs verification.
  • Owner and dates should be verified from other than primary sources.
  • Comic Strip:Live's renaming should be checked as the article linked to it doens't mention it nor does its own references... that I could find.

- I added a reference for Cook and Chappelle's squaring off - I added non-Wikipedia links for the owner and the year (assuming that's what's meant by 'dates'?) - Comic Strip can do their own checking and new linking into their renaming — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miep2 (talkcontribs) 23:08, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Endurance Record"

[edit]

This section needs to be a lot better explained. What exactly does "longest single set" mean? Seems to me the show Seinfeld used the word "set" to refer to an appearance at a club - surely a 7:34 appearance is notably short, not notably long, so what exactly does this mean, and why is it significant?

  • Perhaps it's the notation that's throwing you off? That 7:34 set was 7 hours, 34 minutes -- not 7 minutes, 34 seconds, as one might also read "7:34". I think we can agree that it's fairly impressive for one person to stand up and be entertaining for 7+ hours. When Comic Strip Live set the Guinness record for a group performance[1], they needed 200 people to do 50 hours -- 4 per hour. --M@rēino 01:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Petition to Bail Out Comedy

[edit]

Neutrality dispute added to this section for obvious reasons. 69.143.182.138 (talk) 07:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up

[edit]

I cleaned this story up a (significant) bit so that it now says just the bare minimum. If one wants to know more then they are requested to visit the laugh factory's own site. Miep2 (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

[edit]

This article looks like it is written by a PR-employee of the company. That undermines the reliability. The Banner talk 08:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not, and yes, I might have a conflict of interest because I know the place in Hollywood (and saw the Long Beach LF from a distance), and Jamie Masada, but rather that than that it's full of nonsense, don't you think (especially if it's backed up by verifiable and neutral links)? Also, I do not work at the Laugh Factory (so I don't know anything about the workings of the place, therefore I don't agree with the COI there), I just have the resources available to find out more, 24/7 (I know my way around with a computer)Miep2 (talk) 07:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
