How Laughs Unlimited Started And Why It Lasted 40 Years
Episode 310
Sunday, 16 August, 2026
Send us Fan MailForty years doesn’t happen by accident, especially in live entertainment. Lynn Stobener grabs the host chair and gets Scott Edwards and Bob Stobener talking through the real, unpolished origin story of Laughs Unlimited, one of Sacramento’s defining stand-up comedy clubs. The early days are pure DIY: a tiny budget, borrowed know-how, side hustles that quietly trained them for the chaos of hospitality, and a willingness to figure things out in public.We dig into the moments that shaped the club’s identity, from naming Laughs Unlimited and designing the logo to choosing independence over a comedy chain deal that almost happened. Scott and Bob explain how they learned production the hard way, cutting costs, building shows, and creating opportunities without waiting for credentials. Then we rewind to the Delta Queen basement days, the constant teardown-and-setup grind, and the sudden scramble to move locations when the room was threatened.If you love comedy history, you’ll hear the human side of the 1980s comedy boom: favorites, regular road warriors, and the relationships that brought incredible talent through Sacramento. The stories get wild too, including the infamous “crap book” scrapbook notes and a legendary Robin Williams drop-in that nobody in the room forgets.If Laughs Unlimited or Sacramento comedy means something to you, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
