See the twelve → Comedy clubs near me The top clubs by state

The short answer

The best comedy clubs in America, as D.O.C. picks them, are twelve rooms coast to coast: New York Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club and Comedy Cellar in New York; DC Improv in Washington, D.C.; Zanies Nashville in Nashville; Zanies Chicago in Chicago; Comedy Mothership in Austin; Comedy Works Downtown in Denver; Laugh Factory, Hollywood Improv and The Comedy Store in Los Angeles; and Punch Line in San Francisco. Each has a full night planned on D.O.C. — the house rules, the prices, the trip there and home. Below them are the top comedy clubs in each of 50 states and D.C., in D.O.C.'s order: D.O.C.'s twelve first, then by the most dated shows on the Comedy Calendar in the next 30 days.

D.O.C.'s twelve come first. The other comedy clubs follow by their dated shows on D.O.C.'s Comedy Calendar in the next 30 days, then by how many different comedians those shows bring, then by the comedians with a SUCDb record who came up there, then by what each room publishes for a night out: its show nights, ticket prices, age rule, minimum, phone rule, parking and open mic. Regular comedy venues follow the clubs, and a tie goes A to Z. The counts are as of 10 October 2026, and the order moves with the Comedy Calendar.
