Frequently asked questions

- How much do Atlanta stand-up shows cost?
- Touring-headliner club shows usually run $20–$40 plus any minimums, local showcases are often $10–$20, and many open mics are free or under $10. Every listing shows its price so you can plan to your budget.

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 is your guide to stand-up comedy in Atlanta — every upcoming club night, showcase, and touring headliner across the metro, updated weekly. The marquee touring rooms are Helium Comedy Club in Alpharetta and The Punchline near Sandy Springs, built for a clean hour of material and reserved seating. For something more intimate, the tiny Laughing Skull Lounge in Midtown is the city's classic stand-up room and punches way above its size.
Stand-up is the easiest comedy night to plan around: a clear lineup, a set start time, and usually a headliner you can look up beforehand. Touring club shows carry a cover, while indie showcases tend to be cheaper — and there are plenty of free and under-$20 options if you're watching your budget. Weekend headliner shows often sell out, so book ahead and arrive early for good seats.
Want the freshest material instead of a polished headliner? Check Atlanta's open mics. Prefer something unscripted? Improv at Dad's Garage and Whole World is a great change of pace. Or just see what stand-up is on tonight across Atlanta.
