Great experience. I think this is what comedy clubs must have been like in the golden age of the 60s and 70s. Most nights are free, two drink minimum is suggested. Check their website for details. So cool to have a venue where wannabe comedians can test things out on a stage. Street parking all over. It is a second floor venue and the incline is steep. read more

The Attic Comedy Club - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

See all

The Attic is the first comedy club I visited in Columbus. The stairs are steep and sticky, but once you make it to the top there's usually plenty of laughs and good vibes. I've been for a few shows and their free improv night on Sunday, good times! read more

They have live stand-up comedy 5 nights per week, which is impressive! I think we saw all local comics on this Saturday night 8pm show. There were about 12 comedians (estimated) that had somewhere between 5-10 min each, with a host riffing in between an introducing each. It was a lot of fun! The show we saw was free, but a suggested 2 drink minimum. We honored that, as it was more than worth it! I felt like we got a deal, getting a couple of normal-priced drinks, with live comedy for nearly 2 hours! This is no fancy comedy club. It's the upstairs of an old building in the old East neighborhood. Advantages: Plenty of free street parking and the building has character! At the top of the stairs, the bar is to the left and the stage and seating are to the right. Most seating gives a great view of the stage, but I could see if you were further back and off to the side of the stage, it wouldn't be as good of a view. The bartender was friendly and helpful and glad to serve up the drinks. Several of the comics were hanging in the bar during and afterward. A good positive, communal atmosphere. Great night out for something a little different, support local comedy, and see someplace new! I'd love to come back again. read more

I Attended the Pride Month Set on 6/21. This is a smaller club that is upstairs (some very steep steps) and is very quaint and almost trendy. The audience, staff and comedians were respectful and super funny. Bartender handled the drinks well and margarita was good outside of the brown limes. First time at the attic and I am excited to visit more! Great price for a great set, and a great time. OSTERIA the pizza joint next door has pretty tasty pizza if you are looking for something to eat before or after the show! read more

I had never been there before - the Funny Bone was sold out, and this seemed like a good option. It certainly was. I paid $27 per ticket, and it was very much worth it. The comics - a husband and wife team - were good. It is not fancy and it is small, but it was a great experience and time. They said that they do not have food, but they did offer slices of pizza at the bar - and they talk about bringing up stuff from the pizza place below. My friend and I shared a salad with our great drinks. Our seats were about a foot from the stage - maybe a little close, but - it is a unique place. I will be going again for sure. Actually I plan on going next weekend. read more

One of the funnest nights we've had in Ohio. This place isn't like a polished big city comedy club. Grassroots. Honest to goodness working man's attic. The building a tad run down. The seating pieced together. The young talent should be applauded. They were. It's wonderful to see these locals start out what may well be a famous career. I don't believe they serve food. We already ate before coming. I'm not sure if they have a/c. It was very warm. 08/24 read more

Don't think you're going to get comfy with a drink. Cheep seats. Long trek upstairs. Took a friend to the "Clean Up Your Act" show. Just ok. No big laughs. 4 comics in that show. Small venue with a decent bar. It's good for a haha. I'm sure other shows have rocked or they wouldn't still be there. read more

It was my first time at the Attic and it did not disappoint ! If you've never been to a comedy show before this is a great place to start. It's small but it's a great environment. Full bar on the other side of the stage room. The service was fine, kinda slow but there was a lot of people. Can't wait to go back! read more

My friends and I had such a great start to our weekend here! We came last night to see Erik Scott. We all had a great time!! The playlist was perfect, the vibes were there, a great mix of people that were all respectful! It's right next to Mikey's Late Night Slice which is super convenient you can have 2 drinks at the comedy club and pizza downstairs! The comedy club has many signs that suggest that each patron order two drinks minimum. The drinks were a little pricey, but it's not the end of the world bc you're there to have a fun night with friends. I hope to be back soon! read more

Great little place great atmosphere and very clean I enjoyed seeing Shelly Belly there.

This venue for comedy is amazing! My fiancé and I had a freaking blast. Just the whole ambience of the place felt really neighborhoody and really welcoming. The comedians were hilarious! They're not afraid to break down the barriers and boundaries of comedy which is what made comedy so popular in the first place. We live in a world now where so many people get offended and I just felt like that was not the vibe here. The comedy was free and open and it was just hilarious. It has a cool bar and a really unique atmosphere for comedy that is quaint and cozy. read more

The Attic Comedy Club - two glasses of whiskey on a table - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My partner and I just wandered upstairs of Mikey's Late Night Slice, having no idea what it was. When we saw the stage, we hesitated to go in. But a nice lady outside the curtain encouraged us, ensuring us that there was seating on the side we were lingering outside of. We felt welcomed, so we went in and sat - really nice seats in a pleasant darkness around the stage. A couple minutes later, we learned this nice lady is the host! She was super sweet and really funny between acts. On a Wednesday night, the acts were hit or miss in my opinion - but still a really great time, and the audience felt like a community happy to uplift any comedian and just there to have a good time. All the comedians interacted a lot with the audience and built much of their acts around audience reactions and input. It was really fun to engage with, and I'd definitely like to check it out again. read more

This is legitimately one of the best secrets in Columbus. The atmosphere is incredible, you walk up a flight of stairs and are suddenly transported to a comedy club that feels like it's ripped straight out of New York City. Definitely worth it. Grab a slice of pizza if you're feeling hungry from Mikey's Late Night Slice downstairs, then head up and catch a fantastic comedy show. Much more intimate and entertaining than heading to Easton and seeing a show at the Funny Bone - not that FB isn't fun, but this has a much more hometown comedy feel. The talent is impeccable as well. They even have open mic nights on Wednesdays if you are brave enough to try it out! read more
