Yes; if you're a fan of live entertainment, especially stand up comedy, then visiting the Comedy Store in Los Angeles is a must. Not only is this a historic venue (it was founded back in the '70s!), it's also a hub of up-and-coming talent, as well as established names. Though many tours pass by on wider explorations of Los Angeles as a whole, scoring tickets to a show is really the best way to experience the Comedy Store.

Per one customer who booked the Sunset Boulevard True Crime and Ghost Stories Tour, "Chris is fantastic! We have done multiple tours around the world and the experience depends almost entirely on the guide. Chris was 'best of the best.' He is a fantastic storyteller and weaves history, culture, and trivia into his tales. Personally, I'm not a true crime fan, but my daughter is and we surprised her for her birthday. She loved it!"
