Clair Theater

For afordable live entertainment, the St. Clair has what your looking for!

This is a new entertainment venue in Modesto! I've come here a couple times since it opened and had a great time.  They have a variety of things going on, comedy, reggae, poetry.. They advertise on Facebook, so if you'd like to stay posted on upcoming events I'd add them, just search for St. Clair.

Small venue, holds up to 180 people. They have a bar.

The first time I visited this place was for a comedy show, and to be honest there was not a whole lot of people there but the comedians were entertaining, it was fun. More of an intimate setting.

The second time I visited.. I had a BLAST. Very fun night. And this time they had a full house, there was some people leaning against the wall or sitting on the floor because all the seats were taken. They put together a show called "the Collaboration," which consisted of stand up comedy, poetry, and a live band. I thought the mix of these three might be a little weird, especially comedy+poetry since poetry can be so deep and comedy so lighthearted, but to my surprise it actually meshed really well. It kind of sent you on a roller coaster of emotions in a way lol but it was good. I hope they do more shows like this one, I would definitely attend.  

I love stand up, and I usually have to go to the bay area or Sacramento for my comedy fix... so I'm happy to have found a venue closer to home ^_^.
