Comedy Clubs

Where would Buffalo be without its sense of humor? As the recipient of late-night television jokes about our winters (warranted or not), we’ve learned to laugh at ourselves and shake it off like the snow that falls on our city.

That humor plays out at comedy clubs throughout the region. Helium Comedy Club brings in nationally touring comedians to downtown Buffalo, while other establishments highlight local comedic and improvisational talent. Find out more about where to get your laugh on below.

Vegan, vegetarian restaurant Amy’s Place is a small, local restaurant with an emphasis on seitan, tofu, and vegan cheese. . .(although cheese lovers can order feta, cheddar and provolone to most dishes). You’ll find vegan-favorite Veggie Wet Shoes (spicy lentils topped with curly-q fries), lentil-berry sandwich and lots of Lebanese favorites too.

Similar to, ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’, ComedySportz (runs in perpetuity, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm): ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! Two teams of act-letes compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls, and points are awarded by you, the loyal fans. This all-ages show is entirely improvised based on your suggestions – there are no scripts or pre-planned sketches; all of the songs, scenes and characters are invented right before your eyes. Two teams. A thousand laughs. One winner.
