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 daily 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.
The North Metro is where Atlanta's big touring clubs live. Helium Comedy Club in Alpharetta is a premium, purpose-built showroom that books the national names you'd recognize from Netflix specials and late-night, while The Punchline near the Sandy Springs/Roswell line is the city's longest-running club and a rite of passage for touring comics. Marietta Square adds smaller stage and cabaret-style series to the mix.
This is the area to plan around a marquee headliner: clear lineups, reserved seating, and weekend shows that frequently sell out, so book ahead and arrive early. Friday and Saturday nights often have two seatings — an early show and a looser late one. For a dinner-and-a-show date night or a group outing, the North Metro clubs are the easy, reliable call.
