Add to calendarThis list is the comedy slice of the hand-checked board, pooled across the upcoming published weekends and re-ranked as each one publishes. Prices are verified per show against the venue or ticketer, and a comedy that happens to be a Broadway play is tagged as one, so a reader after a club night can tell it apart from a ticketed theater seat.
This list covers the weekend of Oct 16–18, 2026, and it refreshes automatically every week.
Both, and the tags say which: stand-up and improv bills at clubs and music halls sit alongside the comedies playing on stage that weekend. Each event page carries the venue, the date and time, and the verified price.
No — it is a curated shortlist off the weekend board, not a listings calendar. The nightly club rotation and open mics are not tracked, so a short list here means few shows cleared the bar that weekend, not that the clubs are dark.
