Try It Out Comedy: Eat! Drink! Laugh!

About Our Shows

Doors open at 5:30 for food, drinks and getting ready to laugh.

Show starts at 7:00pm, ends around 8:30pm, people hang around until 9.

We limit seating to 80 people in the room with capacity of 120.

Expect to share a table with new and old friends.

Arriving early, enjoying a drink and dinner before the show, talking with other comedy fans, is what makes this an event … more than a show!

Most of our comedians are local folks, with real jobs, who love to make people laugh. Some are quite experienced, a few actually make money at it, and we even offer up ‘newbies,’ as everyone needs to start someplace.

We love to entertain our audience with a diverse set of comedians who are eager to see that you have a great time.

 

Try It Out Comedy presents a clean stand-up comedy show once a month

Jokes are intended to be PG-14, but sometimes slips to PG-Adult

 

Our shows are presented in Busboys and Poets, the most exciting new restaurant in the Merriweather District in Downtown Columbia, MD.

Within walking distance of free parking!
