About comedy shows in Atlanta
The Atlanta comedy calendar tracks live stand-up, improv, sketch, open mics, and touring headliners across the whole metro — from intown rooms in Midtown, Inman Park, and East Atlanta to the big suburban clubs up north and the Gwinnett circuit northeast of the city. Every listing pulls a real date, venue, start time, and ticket link, and the calendar refreshes weekly so you're always looking at what's actually on stage this week.
Atlanta runs comedy seven nights a week. The marquee touring clubs — Helium Comedy Club in Alpharetta and The Punchline in Sandy Springs — book national headliners most weekends, while intown rooms like the Laughing Skull Lounge, Dad's Garage, and Whole World Improv keep the stand-up, improv, and indie scene going. Northeast of town, the Atlanta Comedy Theater in Norcross and theaters in Duluth and Lawrenceville anchor Gwinnett.
Use the filters to narrow by night (tonight, this weekend, this week), by type (stand-up, improv, open mic), or by region (Intown, North Metro, Gwinnett). Looking for something specific? Jump to comedy tonight, this weekend, open mics, stand-up, or improv using the links below.
