Mitzi2

In 1972, Mitzi Shore began operating the Comedy Store in Las Angeles, CA. Over the next 50 years, Mitzi's influence on the world of stand up comedy was unparalleled. She was instrumental in promoting and supporting the careers of the biggest comedians of our generation, including Tom Richard Pryor, David Letterman, Robin Wiliams. Sam Kinison. Jim Carrey, and countless others, all the way to our very own Joe Rogan. Her mission was to provide a space where comics could feel safe to take risks and develop their own unique stage persona and material. Mitzi's work was so influential to stand up comedy, and to Joe's comedy career, that he insisted on naming this bar after her. Keeping her legacy alive Mitzi Shore was, and still is, widely regarded as 'The Godmother of Comedy" and for this reason we created a cocktail on our original drink menu and named it "The Godmother".

Mtzi passed in April of 2018 and is missed dearly by many. You may notice her booth at the end of the bar.. feel free to take a picture and pay your respects.. the booth remains reserved for her. Our touch of Old Hollywood class, carefully crafted cocktails, and a cozy atmosphere to help you hide away.

Welcome to our hidden lounge on 6th St, here at the Comedy Mothership, 'Mitzi’s".
