Stand-Up Comedy in Mexico

Mexico City's stand-up lives in Condesa. On Avenida Nuevo León, Woko Comedy Club runs Revolushow on Tuesday nights, a secret lineup led by Gon Curiel, and Ciento39, a 139-seat bar and theatre whose stage Franco Escamilla, Ricardo O'Farrill, Carlos Ballarta, Sofía Niño de Rivera, Mau Nieto, Alex Fernández and Daniel Sosa have played, opens to new comics at its Monday Súper Open Mic.

Stand-up in English has nights of its own: Funny Friends upstairs at Bardo Speakeasy on Wednesdays, and Holy LOL Comedy's HILARIOUS! and Tuesday open mic at the Street Art Hotel Roma. In Monterrey a British-style pub in the Barrio Antiguo is built around stand-up, Oaxaca has WOW Comedy Bar on the terrace of Casa Tobalá, and Franco Escamilla takes his show El Juicio to six Mexican cities in November and December 2026.
