Laugh it Up 

Santa Barbara Comedy Hideaway – which went on hiatus even before the pandemic after a decade of delivering funny stuff despite having to periodically de-camp for different digs – is back in action. Hideaway begins hunkering down adjacent to new partner Benchmark Eatery on State Street with a preview show on Friday, July 14, featuring Dwayne Perkins of Netflix and Comedy Central fame headlining and also featuring Hideaway founder Andrey Belikov, and a soft opening on July 21 with performers TBA.
