Comedy Shows in Tampa — Tampa / St. Pete
Stand-up, improv, open mics, and touring headliners across Tampa — from Ybor City to Carrollwood and downtown, updated daily.
Tampa is the engine of the bay's comedy scene, with stages spread from historic Ybor City to Carrollwood, Seminole Heights, and downtown. This page tracks every upcoming comedy show on the Tampa side of the bay — national touring headliners, indie showcases, improv, and open mics — updated daily.
The marquee clubs are the Tampa Improv and Funny Bone in Ybor City and Side Splitters in Carrollwood, which book the touring comedians you'll recognize from specials and late-night TV. For something more independent, The Gimmick and The Commodore run indie stand-up showcases, alt-comedy nights, and a deep bench of open mics where Tampa's local comedians sharpen their sets.
Tampa is big and spread out, so plan your night around one area — Ybor City is the most walkable for back-to-back shows, while the Carrollwood and downtown rooms are quick drives with easier parking. Weekend headliner shows sell out, so book ahead; weeknights are great for cheaper showcases, improv, and free open mics.

About comedy shows in Tampa / St. Pete
The Tampa / St. Pete comedy calendar tracks live stand-up, improv, sketch, open mics, and touring headliners across the whole metro — Tampa, Ybor City, Carrollwood, St. Pete, Clearwater, and the surrounding Pinellas and Hillsborough rooms. 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.
Tampa Bay runs comedy seven nights a week. Club anchors like Side Splitters in Carrollwood and the Tampa Improv and Funny Bone in Ybor City book national headliners most weekends, while indie stages such as The Gimmick and The Commodore keep Ybor's late-night, alt, and BYOB shows going. Across the bay, Spitfire Comedy House and the St. Pete Comedy Club keep Pinellas County laughing with showcases, improv, and weekly mics.
Use the filters to narrow by night (tonight, this weekend, this week), by type (stand-up, improv, open mic), or by area (Tampa vs. St. Pete). Looking for something specific? Jump to comedy shows tonight, this weekend, open mics, stand-up, or improv using the links below.
