Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase is one of Ann Arbor’s most unique entertainment establishments. Originally the Mainstreet Comedy Showcase. Opening in 1984 above the Heidelberg Restaurant, the intention was to provide live comedy shows featuring the best of the rising young stars in the comedy business. In 1987 the Comedy Showcase moved to our current location on Liberty, below Seva Restaurant. Our intentions to provide the best in rising talent are proven, as you may recognize some of the big stars that have performed on our stage, such as Tim Allen, Drew Carey, Rosie O’Donnell, Chris Titus, Ellen DeGeneres, Soupy Sales, Paula Poundstone, Elayne Boosler, Rita Rudner and Father Guido Sarducci, to name a few. In addition to the highly recognizable talent we bring in, we have also continued through the years to bring what we feel are the next "big stars" to our stage. Our labors to bring in the best talent results in the quality of show that prompted Rolling Stone magazine to call us "one of the best clubs between the coasts".

5 stars - I always have a great time at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, top talent every time. The drink menu makes it even more fun!
It's a cool little local spot that we love going out to for our night on the town the staffs great the comedys hillarious and we always have a good time!
This place ROCKS! It is a great place to go for a date or with a group! I've been going for years...love their long island ice teas and bottomless popcorn.
The prices are reasonable and the comedy is varied. There is something for
just about everyone. We have enjoyed the Ann Arbor Showcase several
times a year. We also like the fact that sometimes there are free tickets awarded, like
on one's birthday, and a drawing for free tickets at the end of the show.
Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase has its finger on the pulse of the best comedians working today. I frequent the showcase often, and always have a good time. The wait staff is hardworking and the drinks are good. Arrive early to get your ticket, because a lot of people like the showcase, but the box office will get you in before the show starts.
Always a good time!! A GREAT way to relieve stress. And it is cheaper than a movie!
They are the best because they have good comedians and we know we will have a good time!
The Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase is a great night out. My favorite comedian to see there is Jimmy Dore.
A very warm club with great management! Always a great schedule of Comics. Always something new.
Been going there for 15 years enjoy my night but I have to disagree with the staff comments I never have a friendly server no matter how much I tip! Other than that I like the small venue so no matter where you sit you have a great seat!
The staff is friendly and accomodating. There are often more than two acts in a show and there are many big acts and opportunities for free admission.
We LOVE going to the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. It makes for a GREAT date night!!!!!
The healing that comes from sitting in a place where you are one of the family and laughing uproariously with a great group of friends is priceless.
The comedy is great, the staff is great, and we have fun there every time we go!
They have the best comedians in such a small venue. I love that about the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. You can actually see the comedian's face. They are not ant size due to the monstrosity of large venues.
Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase is a small venue which showcases a lot of big comics. The staff are friendly and the prices are right. I always have a good time when I'm at a show!
I love The Comedy Showcase. I'd go there every night if I could. I love everything about it, the comedians are great and the atmosphere too!
Every time my husband and I go we have a wonderful time. It doesn't matter whether they have a big headliner or someone starting out, we laugh every time and share great memories with our family and friends. It never fails the comedians usually bring up something that pertains to one of us in our group that we laugh about long after the show. It's a good time!
Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase consistently brings in quality stand-up comedians, has great drink specials, and has a very comfortable venue. I love going there.
Funny, creative talent with fresh outlook on life and the ups and downs it has to offer.
They have a great location, the seating arrangements are perfect for small or large groups, the show has a good progression before the final comedian. Worth the 25+ mile drive for me!
The Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase provides a fun night out! We really enjoy it! They have a good variety of entertainment, friendly staff, and there is not a bad seat in the house.
