Stand-up comedian Nick Simmons will headline three shows at The Laugh Factory in San Diego on March 13 and March 14, bringing his high-energy storytelling and sharp self-aware humor to one of the city's most popular comedy venues. The performances, scheduled for 8:00 PM on March 13 and 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM on March 14, offer an intimate club setting where Simmons' fast pacing and crowd interaction shine.
Simmons, a Bronx-born comedian who built his early career in New York City before relocating to Austin, has quickly become one of the fastest rising performers on the national stand-up circuit. Known for blending sharp observations with self-deprecating humor, Simmons draws on his unique life experiences to connect with audiences across the country. While developing his craft in New York, he became a regular performer at respected clubs including Comedy Cellar, NY Comedy Club, and The Stand. Since moving to Austin, he has performed at venues such as The Comedy Mothership, The Vulcan, and The Sunset Strip, and he is also the co-creator and star of ACTING-OFF, Austin's first improv-based comedy show.
Simmons has gained a strong following online through his viral "Natty or Not" comedy segments that blend stand-up style humor with the fitness world. The series has attracted millions of views and has been featured on Inside Edition, leading to collaborations with entertainers including Nick Jonas and comedian Matt Rife. Despite his bodybuilder physique, Simmons' comedy often flips the stereotype of the typical gym personality, leaning into self-aware storytelling, cultural observations, and personal experiences growing up in the Bronx. His style resonates with audiences from a wide range of backgrounds.
"San Diego is truly one of my favorite cities to perform in," said Simmons. "Not only is it paradise with the beach and good food but they have legitimately my favorite comedy crowds in the country. They don't get offended and they're smart crowds that just get it." Simmons has appeared on CBS and E! Network programming and has been featured on The Fighter and the Kid podcast. His live shows continue to draw strong crowds as he tours comedy clubs across the United States.
Tickets for the shows are priced between $27 and $38 and can be purchased through the event's ticket link. More information is available on the event page. The Laugh Factory is located at 432 F Street, San Diego, CA 92101.
