Club Comedy doesn't have a permanent home. Instead, it puts on comedy shows at three locations. It features headliners like comedian Carl Yard, whose credits include opening for Aretha Franklin during a 1999 concert tour. Club Comedy also hosts open mic nights and classes to teach newcomers the craft. All shows are 21 and over, and alcohol is available. A buffet or menu is typically offered.
