Fox Comedy Show Taping Tonight in Temecula: Free Tickets Still Left

TEMECULA, CA – Several seats are still left for a television show taping in Temecula that's happening tonight, Patch is told.

As of 11 a.m. Thursday, about 75 of the 1,200 seats were up for grabs for a live taping of the Fox comedy program “Laughs” at Pechanga Resort & Casino.

The resort is teaming up again with the network for the show’s third season and will be filming a special episode at 8 p.m. "...when eight rising comics who have been seen on programs such as NBC’s 'Last Comic Standing,' 'Adam Devine’s House Party,' Comedy Central and 'NickMom' on Nickelodeon will take over the stage inside the Pechanga Theater," according to resort spokeswoman Ciara Green.

"The live stand-up comedy show will be hosted by Temecula’s own Taylor Tomlinson, who was discovered by Laughs producers during the show’s first season," Green says.

The tickets are free, and can be obtained online by visiting LaughsLive.com and entering promotional code LAUGHS. Walk-ins will also be able to see the show, space permitting.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Guests must be 21 or older to attend.

If you can't make it to Thursday's show, there are five additional free comedy shows featuring the best up-and-coming comics, according to Green. Those are:

• Thursday, Sept. 1 – 8 p.m.
• Thursday, Sept. 29 – 8 p.m.
• Thursday, Nov. 16 – 8 p.m.
• Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017 – 8 p.m.
• Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017 – 8 p.m.

Here's more from the resort on what to expect:

Thursday's “Laughs” TV episode taped inside the Pechanga Theater will air on FOX stations in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, New York, Charlotte, N.C., Minneapolis, Louisville, Ky., and Chicago on Saturday, September 10 and Saturday, December 17. It will be shown in the same cities, as well as Orlando, Fl., on MYNetwork stations on Sunday, September 11 and Sunday, December 18.

For the Pechanga Comedy Club tapings, comics prepare a five to six minute set for the live, 300-seat audience. The best minute or two of each comic’s stage time is edited into the show, making it a fast-paced and dynamic broadcast.

“We love taping at Pechanga Resort & Casino,” said producer, Michael Bachmann. “The Pechanga Comedy Club is a stellar venue, it has everything we’d get in Los Angeles with a taste of Las Vegas, and we’re thrilled to be moving into the Pechanga Theater for the special episode this season. ‘Laughs’ is the best place on TV to see the comedy all-stars of tomorrow, today.”

During the first and second seasons of “Laughs,” several Southern California comics received much-coveted air time and public recognition, including 22-year old Taylor Tomlinson of Temecula. Foregoing college to pursue a career in standup, Tomlinson, who started doing comedy routines at church at the age of 16, now performs nightly at comedy clubs and college campuses across the country. She is also this season’s host of “Laughs.”
