You'll find stand-up comedy venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity!

Many venues such as The Bierkeller and The House of Fun are event-ready with built-in sound systems, microphones, and lighting. Others, particularly more casual or bar-focused venues, may require you to bring in your own AV or hire it as an extra. Always ask what’s included when making an inquiry.
Aim to book at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance for smaller spaces. If you're planning a weekend show or expect over 100 guests, booking 2 to 3 months ahead is best—especially for well-known venues which often host weddings and corporate events too.
