The series, produced by the promoter Dusted Company under the banner “Dusted Comedy Presents,” has kept nationally known comedians cycling through a Pasadena room the club bills as the oldest comedy club in the country. It runs in the venue’s Legendary Room, with doors at 6:30 p.m. and shows beginning at 7:45 p.m., open to guests 21 and older with a two-item minimum per seat, according to the series’ ticketing listings.
Leno was billed atop the June 9 lineup alongside Andrew Santino and Todd Glass, one of several June dates in the run; a June 3 bill featured Reggie Watts and the Sklar Brothers. The promoter notes on its listings that lineups are subject to change.
The Ice House sits at 24 N. Mentor Ave., a short walk from Old Pasadena. It opened in 1960 under Pasadena businessman Willard Chilcott and spent its early years as a folk-music room before shifting to stand-up in the late 1970s. Over the decades its two showrooms have hosted comedians including George Carlin, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres, according to the club and published histories of the venue.
The room’s current chapter began in 2019, when Johnny Buss bought the club. It closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and reopened in 2023 after a renovation reported at about $4 million, which the club has said added new showrooms, a VIP lounge and updated sound and staging. The Dusted series is part of the programming that has followed the reopening, and the club has positioned itself as a stop for both touring headliners and rising comics.
Other established comics have continued to book the room. Billy Gardell, the actor and stand-up known for the CBS series “Mike & Molly,” was listed for a March 2026 date in the Legendary Room. Dusted Company also produces stand-up shows at other Southern California venues, including rooms in West Hollywood and the San Diego area, according to the promoter’s schedule.
The club publishes its current calendar on its website, where dates, rooms and performers are posted as they are confirmed. The box office can be reached at (626) 414-2386.
