Comedy Shows in Tampa
Stand-up, improv, open mics, and touring headliners across Tampa — from Ybor City to Carrollwood, updated daily.
Tampa is the heart of the bay's comedy scene, with stages spread from historic Ybor City to Carrollwood and downtown. This page tracks every upcoming comedy show on the Tampa side — national touring headliners, indie showcases, improv, and open mics — updated daily.
The big rooms are the Tampa Improv and Funny Bone in Ybor City, which book the touring comedians you'll recognize from specials and late-night TV, plus Side Splitters in Carrollwood. For something more independent, The Gimmick and The Commodore run a steady mix of indie stand-up showcases, alt-comedy nights, and some of the area's best open mics — the rooms where Tampa's scene actually gets built.
Ybor City is perfect for a full comedy night because everything is so walkable: catch an early show, grab a drink, and walk to a late one. Parking can get tight on weekends — use the public garages and give yourself extra time, especially around 7th and 8th Avenues. Most shows run on a cover charge, but the open mics and some indie nights are free or just a few dollars.

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.
