Canyon Country, in Northwest County
J.R.'s Comedy Club
Comedy Club · 18730 Soledad Canyon Rd
A Santa Clarita comedy club that sets up inside a restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights, mixing comics on the way up with names people recognize.
It also runs fundraiser shows, handing a local organization the proceeds of a night without asking it to take on risk or expenses. The audience is local and repeat, which is what keeps a weekend-only club going.
Santa Clarita sits north of Los Angeles over the pass. The club's name still points at Valencia, where it ran for years, but the shows are in Canyon Country now, inside a diner on Soledad Canyon Road.
