Vermont Comedy Club: Burlington's Premiere Venue for Stand-Up Comedy

Burlington's main venue for stand-up comedy is the Vermont Comedy Club. The club hosts a variety of appearances, ranging from touring comedians like Ron Funches (known for his role as Cooper in the "Trolls" franchise) to local talent who participate in the club's weekly stand-up open mics. Despite being a popular spot, the showroom offers an intimate feel even during sold-out events, seating no more than 140 people at cabaret tables.

More Than Just Stand-Up Comedy

Diverse Entertainment Lineup

Apart from stand-up comedy, the Vermont Comedy Club offers a diverse schedule that includes drag brunches, karaoke, trivia, improv, and showcases by students attending the club's improv classes. Recent visitors have highlighted the great atmosphere and friendly environment. However, seating is first-come, first-serve and, as all seating is on one level, visibility from the back can be limited.

Food and Drink at the Club

Many attendees choose to arrive early to enjoy a drink at the Happy Place Café in the lobby. During the show, food and drinks are also available for order within the club. Guests can scan a QR code at their table to place orders, which are then delivered by servers. Menu items include loaded garlic parmesan fries, barbecue cauliflower tacos, and craft beers. Prices and showtimes vary, and the comedy club's proximity to Church Street Marketplace, various Burlington breweries, and the waterfront makes it a convenient stop.
