The Comedy Zone has had some of the biggest names in the business perform on stage, and is a top choice for a fun night out in Charlotte. More that just a club, it also features a restaurant and bar so you can enjoy a variety of food and drinks with the show. The club can also accommodate large private groups and events for up to 300 people, so you can really spice up a corporate meeting or add some flair to a birthday party with ease. Make sure to book ahead, as the big shows will sell out quickly!
In the mood for laughs but looking for something more innovative than the traditional stand-up routines on offer at The Comedy Zone? Head over to the Charlotte Comedy Theatre for an entirely different experience. The theatre is home to Charlotte's very own company of improv specialists. Rather than delivering overly rehearsed bits, these entertainers start from scratch every time. No rehearsal at all! Audience members are often invited to supply a situation or a buzzword, and then off the players go, making them roar with completely improvised comedy. Drinks are supplied by Joe's Raw Bar right next door. See website for details on weekly improv lessons, as well as a complete calendar of events.
If you've had a tough day at work, there's nothing like a couple of hours at Lake Norman Comedy Zone to chase away the blues. Located in the second level of the Above Gateway Hooker Irish Pub building, this venue comes alive every Tuesday evening with comic acts by nationally touring artists as well as local talent. Food and drinks from the Gateway Hooker Irish Pub is available for those coming to watch the show. All in all, this is a great place to spend a fun evening with a bunch of friends.
