Sometimes all you need is a good laugh. On occasion, reruns of your favorite sitcoms can do the trick, but there’s something a little more exciting about experiencing comedy in person. The performances, the crowd, the comedic energy in the room; everything seems a little more amped up at a comedy show. Lucky for you, metro Detroit has plenty of unique comedy venues that will have you laughing until it hurts. So set the DVR to record your favorite sitcom and head out to one of these four great comedy venues instead.
Go Comedy!
Go Comedy! is one of the area’s premier improv comedy theaters, and it’s not hard to see why. The venue is home to some of the area’s most talented improv comedians, and sketch comedy writers as well. Go Comedy! hosts recurring comedy shows every week. Their latest recurring show, “It Was the Worst of Times, It Was the Worst of Times,” will be ending its run next Tuesday, January 30. With unique shows almost every night, Go Comedy! gives audiences plenty of reasons to laugh. If you’re in the mood for more traditional comedy, the Punchline Comedy club in Southfield hosts the country’s funniest up-and-coming stand-up comedians. With specialty cocktails and margaritas, along with a full food menu, Punchline Comedy makes for a good date night out. The venue also hosts Taco Tuesdays every week, just another great reason to check them out.

You decide who gets the points and they even ask for willing volunteers to partake in the shenanigans. Shows take place every Saturday night and you can reserve your tickets here. One of metro Detroit’s best places to see local talent, Planet Ant is a must visit for any comedy fan. The venue’s most popular shows, the Monday Night and Saturday Night Improv, feature two improv teams duking it out for comedy glory, while their new Comedy Slice Block Party on Thursday nights features any genre of comedy. They also have scripted drama and comedy sketches throughout the year, so be sure to check the calendar here.
