Comedy

Every Thursday night (shows start at 8pm) is comedy night at SteelStacks and that means it's one of the following...

Two Laugh Minimum

  • Stand-up comedy show
  • 3 comics per show!

The Associated Mess
 

  • Short-form improv comedy
  • Like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

We host these shows in the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas (in the ArtsQuest Center), which means a couple of things. For starters, we've got the comfiest seats ever at a comedy show! Top that off with the fact you can purchase food and the (adult) beverage(s) of your choice to bring into the show, and you've got quite a little evening on the town. Note that these shows can contain strong language and adult material. Parental discretion is strongly advised.

Comics from John Oliver to Myq Kaplan to the Valley's own Alex House have already left our audiences rolling in the aisles (literally and metaphorically... one dude was actually rolling).

 

We also host comedy shows on nights other than Thursday, it's true, but we wanted to make sure that you know there's always something comedy-related happening at SteelStacks on a Thursday night!

 

Look, we've got our first ever comedy class!
