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.
This page lists the upcoming open mics across Atlanta. Open mics are where comedy actually gets built — comics test brand-new jokes, work out timing, and occasionally have the kind of night that ends up on a special years later. The scene runs strongest in the intown neighborhoods, especially East Atlanta Village and the bars around Little Five Points, and most mics are free or just a few dollars — the best-value live comedy in the city.
If you just want to watch, open mics are loose, unpredictable, and a fun, cheap night out. If you want to perform, most mics use a sign-up list (some online ahead of time, some in person at the door) and give each comic three to five minutes. Get there early, put your name down, and bring a few solid minutes.
