Berkeley Rep has provided a nurturing home and a receptive audience for established and emerging artists alike since 1968. 

It's impossible to list all of the greats who have performed here: Stars like Robin Williams, Ellen Degeneres, Wanda Sykes and Chris Rock all took the first steps of their show biz journeys on the Punch Line stage. 

Originally known as Cobb's Pub, Cobb's Comedy Club has presented the finest comedy talent in the industry since opening in 1982. Performers have included such acts as Dave Chapelle, Dana Carvey and Bill Burr.
