The best comedy clubs for food, drinks and laughter
Although watching a comedy skit while eating may not always be the best idea (ever laughed while eating and choked?), having a few drinks and a meal before, and more drinks during the show can really get the mood going. Whoever your preferred comedian is, there are ample comedy clubs throughout America to make sure you’ll get to experience every one of their shows. For some great times, delicious meals and large laughs, these clubs are some of your best options currently available in the U.S..
The Punchline: This club is situated in Atlanta and is a classic venue for both renowned and up-and-coming comedians across the country. They offer both drinks and meals to accompany the experience, along with affordable show prices. Their lineups have included major industry names like Al Ernst, David Cross and Dale Jones, to mention only a few. Next time you’re in town, you’ll want to drop in at The Punchline for one of their many shows available each week.
The Comedy Store: Located in Los Angeles, The Comedy Store offers a lavish comedy experience in true Hollywood style. Their services include a full range of food and drink, with shows in various rooms for various genres. They host shows with lineups like Natasha Leggero, Iliza Shlesinger, Patton Oswalt and Marc Maron. For loads of fun and screams of laughter for you and your friends, The Comedy Store is the place to be.
Stand Up Live: If names like David Spade, Bobby Miyamoto, Wanda Sykes and Pauly Shore have you in giggles at just the thought, you’ll love Stand Up Live in Phoenix. They bring you names like these and many more every week, along with a full menu to munch on while you enjoy the hysteria. Whether attending a group show or single stand up show, you can be guaranteed you’ll leave the building laughing and ready to go back for me.
The Hollywood Improv: Although this venue is also based in Los Angeles, it just goes to show the level of talent brewing in this city. The Hollywood Improv is one of the world’s most loved comedy club chains and offers show and dining all year round. With industry classics like Steve-O, Jay Mohr and Jeff Garlin (to mention only a few of their long list) as regulars on their rosters, the entire experience is of the highest standard any day of the year.
