Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase | All Rights Reserved

Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase has been booking stand-up since 1984. The Ann Arbor club runs national touring comics through a small room where even the back row feels close to the stage, which is the whole point of stand-up. About 35 minutes up US-23 from Tecumseh.

Open Wednesday through Saturday, with showtimes starting at 4pm and stretching to 10:30pm on Saturdays. Cocktails, beer, and wine at the bar, popcorn on the snacks list, and reservations are the right move once a lineup is announced. Parking close to the door is part of why people keep coming back.

Fans love the bookings and the intimate room, with the comedians, the drinks, and the attentive staff all getting credit. Prices land reasonable for the talent on the schedule. Good move for a date night that needs less talking than dinner-and-a-movie, a friends-of-friends-in-town outing, or any evening where you want an actual room with an actual crowd doing actual laughing. Check the calendar before you commit, since the names you want sell out ahead.
