This was taken straight off of the website. It needs citations and a complete rewrite. 65.30.23.234 18:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- 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)
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)
Comic boycotting?
editHaven'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)
- 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)
Factual Dispute
editThe 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 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
"Endurance Record"
editThis 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)
- Indeed, that'd be it! Must have missed the (hr:min) notation above. Thanks. Nosleep break my slumber 06:12, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Petition to Bail Out Comedy
editNeutrality dispute added to this section for obvious reasons. 69.143.182.138 (talk) 07:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Clean-up
editI 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)
Conflict of interest
editThis 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)
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)
