In his debut comedy special Conditional Love, the hilarious, provocative, and quick-witted Stuart B. Thompson returns to his hometown club – the world-famous Punch Line in San Francisco – to reveal painfully true, deeply funny personal stories.
From taking big swings in high school jazz band to using firearms to learn more about his grandpa, Stuart’s eclectic brand of comedy tells the story of his life of love, loss, education, and cats.
Join him on this hilarious journey that feels like sharing entries from a school diary that now read like a psychotic journal – which Stuart also reads live on stage!
He has performed in 9 countries & all the major comedy clubs nationwide. On his late night talk show – The L8 Night Show with Stuart & Luke – at the Hollywood Improv, Stuart shared the stage with many comedians including Nikki Glaser, Joe Rogan, Quinta Brunson, Jerrod Carmichael, and Adam Devine. He has opened for dozens of comedians, including Russell Peters, Ali Wong, Dana Gould, Steve Treviño, and Iliza Shlesinger. Most recently, he recorded his debut comedy special, which will be available in early 2024.
Stuart’s love for comedy began at the age of 12 when he saw George Carlin on TV and was mesmerized by Carlin’s ability to captivate a crowd with only his thoughts and words. A few years later, Stuart began watching Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Saturday Night Live religiously, longing for an opportunity to perform comedy in front of an audience but believing it wasn’t something he had access to do.
It wasn’t until Stuart was 18 and a student at UC Berkeley that he went to his first open mic at the Brainwash Cafe in San Francisco that the dream of being a comedian began to become a reality. Within a year, Stuart was performing on shows all over the Bay Area. On his first paid show, he got to meet Robin Williams and Mort Sahl and realized that a career in comedy was possible. He has been entertaining audiences ever since then.
Currently, Stuart can be seen performing all over Los Angeles and the U.S. as he builds his new hour of stand-up.
