I don't think of SF as a comedy town. At least in the sense of lots of people going to see live comedy. Heck, the comedy is free on the streets everyday of the week. Just look out yer window or read about local politics and you'll get all the big laughs you need. However, if you're so dour that you can't find humor in everyday life and you need to spend hard earned entertainment dollars on deliberately forced laughs, the place to go is Cobb's, in SF's Cannery. This is where they bring in all the big names, even the guys that are on TV. I used to work near there and I met Emo Phillips when he was in town. Pretty cool, eh?
