Comedy Works was established in 1981 and since then the laugh-a-second nighttime venue has become one of the best comedy clubs in the country. With names like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Lewis Black and Joan Rivers on the list of performers to have put on shows at the club, it's no fluke that USA Today named Comedy Works as one of the top five in the US. Not to say that up-and-comers and locals aren't part of the regular rotation. Comedy Works takes great pride in fostering the next generation of comedians and performers.
