Great Comedy Club this weekend in Atlanta?

We are staying at the Ritz downtown and wanted to see if there were any really good Comedy Clubs fairly close ...... thanks!!

Your only real option is the Laughing Skull Lounge next to the Vortex in midtown:

There is a comedy club in downtown on Marietta, but it is in a terrible neighborhood and is really ghetto. Avoid that. The only other comedy clubs near Atlanta are in Sandy Springs and Roswell.





I would recommend instead going to an improv show or comedic play at Dad%26#39;s Garage Theater or Whole World Theatre.

thanks :) - dads only has shows on friday nights ............ how close would the other one be to our hotel at the downtown ritz?




Whole World is about 2.5 miles from the Ritz. Short cab ride, or you can easily take MARTA from the Peachtree Center station up to Arts Center -- Whole World is a block west of the Arts Center station. Exit the station onto West Peachtree Street, go south (left) to the crosswalk at West Peachtree and 15th, cross the street, and cut through the parking lot to get from West Peachtree over to Spring Street. Whole World will be almost directly across Spring Street.




Whole World is a lot of fun.




Actually, though, Dad%26#39;s does have shows on Saturday. This Saturday they%26#39;ll have The B Team at 8:00 and the Theater Sports (which is improv) at 10:30. I%26#39;m partial to Dad%26#39;s Garage, in large part because I%26#39;ve been there so many times over the years, but both have really funny shows. You can%26#39;t go wrong either way.




The Punchline isnt too far from there (10-15 miles), the Ritz may provide some transportation options:
