When’s the last time you had a good laugh? A really good laugh? I’m talking stomach-hurts-tears-rolling-down-your-face laugh? Robert Frost once said, “If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane,” and if you’ve spent any time in our traffic this week, then you know Houston has already hit its limit of insanity. So, to help our city fight back the crazy, here is a list of weekly comedy nights around Houston featuring standup comics, improv shows, and open mics to fill your prescription of laughter, which is said to be the best medicine. We even have some special ticket deals to save you off the regular price of admission.
Please note that while we’ve made every effort to ensure this list is accurate and up to date, schedules are subject to change at any time. With that in mind, we always recommend confirming with the venue before you head out.

This is a solid list! Thank you for providing such a great resource!
There is a second Dark Matter show on Saturdays at Station at 9:30pm. We are launching a competitive improv show called Battle Station on Sundays in March with $5 admission.
There is also Futile Society improv at The Secret Group on Thursdays.
Note: Station Theater is almost exclusively improv & sketch comedy. CSz Houston is almost exclusively improv. We get a lot of calls asking about open mic or stand up shows at our venues but that’s not our focus.
Thank you for including us!
