Comedy Events

If you're looking for a comprehensive comedy listing, look no further! There isn't one, anywhere. But this is a list of shows that Philadelphia comedians and promoters e-mailed us about -- you can usually find a lot of local talent at any event on this calendar. And don't forget about all of the open mics that are running most weeks.

We keep track of the headliners at local clubs in the box to the right side of your screen, plus there are some links to other entertainment listings in the upper right. If you're trolling for comedy shows by area, go visit the venues listings.
