HaHa Comedy Club: 30 years ago , when comedians needed a mic to dish out material to the masses, they came to the The HaHa Comedy Club. Originally a Mexican restaurant, the HaHa was the hub for up and comers to grab some stage time when they weren’t as likely to get a spot at other clubs owing to their ethnic background. Thanks to the generous owners willing to pass a mic for a couple of laughs, you can say the Haha is single handily responsible for launching the careers of the greatest comedians of our time.
