Jay leno comedy and magci club
The iconic Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach — where comedy legends such as Jay Leno, George Carlin and Jerry Seinfeld once performed — could soon be filled will laughter once again.
The iconic club, which has been shuttered for nearly two years because of the coronavirus pandemic, recently received unanimous approval from the city’s Planning Commission for substantial renovations.
The beloved club, which has hosted comics and magicians since 1978, will add 100 seats to its main showroom — for 350 total — and enclose a patio at an adjacent lounge area.
But it’s too early to determine when construction will start, how long the project will take or when the club might reopen, said founder and owner Mike Lacey.
Lacey, when reached by phone on Monday, Feb. 21, declined to provide details about the club’s plans because the Planning Commission’s decision was so recent, happening last week.
“I’m just reviewing my options,” Lacey said. “I have to sort out what the next step is.”
Lacey, at the Tuesday, Feb. 15, commission meeting, said many people contacted him to ask when the club, 1018 Hermosa Ave., would reopen.
Representatives from nonprofits the club has supported over the years and Leno himself reached out, Lacey said at the meeting. Leno was once a Sunday regular at the club, where he tried out new material when he hosted “The Tonight Show.”
“’We want to come back to work, we missed the salmon,’” Lacey quoted comics who have reached out as saying. “‘Can we come in again?’”
To expand the showroom area, the plan calls for removing employee offices that are behind the main stage. The main stage will then be moved north to accommodate the extra 100 seats.
The famed green room, where the comics chat and wait until they hit the stage, will remain as is, Lacey said at the meeting. For decades, performers have left their mark in ink on the green room’s walls.
“The green room will always remain untouched,” Lacey said. “It’s really a very special place with all the signatures.”

The Lounge, another performance space with an adjacent restaurant, will have its patio enclosed as part of the renovation.
Lacey also received approval to expand what the club can be used for.
The club had operated under a conditional use permit that dictated comedy or theatrical productions comprise “50% of the operating time of the main showroom,” according to the staff report. The Planning Commission approved removing that permit.
Lacey and city staff, in a report, agreed the condition was “overly restrictive.”
Removing that restriction will allow business people staying at local hotels to use the club for meeting space.
“Hermosa Beach hotels have limited conference and meeting rooms needed for group sales,” a staff report said. “Added flexibility will allow activation of the space during non-peak hours and also help attract new hotel business to the City.”
While the application Lacey submitted to the Planning Commission did not ask for extended hours, he did bring up the possibility during Tuesday’s meeting.
The club, under current rules, must close at 1 a.m.
Officials seemed open to the idea — though the club’s California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control license bans dancing on the premises after 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday — while also expressing some reservations about later hours.
Since a number of bars on Pier and Hermosa avenues start closing around 1:45 a.m., Hermosa Beach Police Chief Paul LeBaron said, there was a concern about the club closing around the same time.
But, he added, that concern wasn’t directed at Lacey’s business, since it has had no calls for service since it opened more than four decades ago.
“I want to stress this has nothing to do specifically with his business, but it is a concern that we have, it’s something that we will certainly try to address,” LeBaron said. “But I also look into the future, and I’m always concerned that we have too many places letting out after any type of alcohol consumption, where there might be potential for problems.”
It not only helps children develop language and motor skills but also provides a platform for children to express themselves and explore their creativity. Overall, "The Witch's Knock Song" is a delightful and imaginative nursery rhyme that brings joy and excitement to children. Its catchy tune, simple lyrics, and playful theme make it a perfect addition to any children's song collection..
