According to Samson, "SF Chronicle said Comedy Oakland lineups have the diversity of a United Nations subcommittee, and the shows at Quinn’s Lighthouse won't be any different. I am looking forward to performing at this historic venue right on the waterfront with beautiful views of the Bay and a delightful food and drinks menu. I always look for venues that fit the Comedy Oakland brand, and adding Quinn’s to our list of venues in Oakland was a very easy decision."

In addition to providing a diverse and entertaining lineup, Comedy Oakland aims to enhance the audience experience. Samson encourages patrons to purchase tickets in advance to secure their spot. There is no drink minimum, and food and drinks will be available for purchase, courtesy of Quinn’s, which offers a unique blend of American and Asian flavors.

Under new ownership, the menu now includes Vietnamese dishes alongside classic favorites like fish and chips and clam chowder. Customers rave about the fresh banh mi, grilled pork sandwiches, and lemongrass beef sandwiches. The establishment also offers a cozy ambiance with a view of the scenic Oakland estuary. Enjoy good food and comedy on the waterfront, Oakland's best is ready to welcome you!
