Why did I get removed from The Soapstone Comedy Club?
We want everyone to feel welcome, safe, and respected. If someone is removed, it’s usually because community standards were broken — like inappropriate behavior or content. Most removals last up to two hours after which time you are welcome to come back. If you are unable to return, reach out to us on bans@soapstonecomedy.com

Who can I contact for help?
If you need help in-world, look for a Soapstone Insider member or moderator. For questions outside of shows, the best way to reach us is through Discord or our contact page.
Why are there two Soapstone worlds?
We run two versions of The Soapstone to serve different audiences: Hanalei Bay (ages 10+) and NYC 18+. This way, everyone can enjoy the comedy in the space that’s right for them.
