Laughing is good for your health; it can boost you out of a gloomy mood in an instant, and letting the good times roll once in a while can supercharge those feel-good vibes. If you’re wondering why most Floridians are always so happy, maybe it’s more than the sunshine. Orlando is filled with comedy clubs and fun-filled nights to sharpen those wits and enjoy a good belly laugh. Here are just some of the top spots to track down comedy night in Orlando:
Universal CityWalk is always buzzing with activity and entertainment; from cabaret shows to memorable performances, you’ll never run out of shows to enjoy. When comedy night rolls around, you’ll want to head to Bonkerz Comedy Club in the CityJazz district. Every Sunday at 8 p.m., Doug MacCraw from Comedy Central pulls off his classic hypnotist act. If you’re looking for standup, Thursday through Saturday nights welcome comics from around the country for unique, unscripted, and improve acts. A-list performances are ready and waiting at Hard Rock Live. Dave Chappelle has frequented the stages here on numerous occasions, in addition to the always funny Lewis Black. Be sure to call at least 2 weeks in advance for prime picks on seats; just call (407) 224-2692 for ticket information.
If you’re heading downtown, you’ll want to join forces with the Orlando Improv group. It’s one of the largest comedy circuits in the nation, and served as the foundation for many ‘Saturday Night Live’ stars. Each performance is accompanied by a complete dinner menu available at the restaurant; order some appetizers and cocktails as you sit back and enjoy your favorite acts. Wednesday night is College night, so plan your tickets accordingly! Call (321) 281-8000 for the complete performance schedule and to order tickets. The comedy club is located at 129 W. Church Street.
One of the oldest comedy highlights of the area is SAK Comedy Lab, an always-busy locale that offers a variety of comics, talent levels, and specialty performances in improv. If you were a fan of ‘Whose Line is It Anyway?’, you’ll be happy to know that Wayne Brady is one of this venue’s graduates. If you’ve been struggling to find a gift for that hard-to-shop-for individual on your gift list, take a peek at the SAK comedy team experience; for $125, the team will create an entire scene and perform it for the audience. It’s a tribute you’ll never forget! Call (407) 648-0001 for more information.
If it’s family night and you all could use a night of laughs, don’t forget about the Magic Kingdom. Monsters, Inc. isn’t only funny in DVD format; watch the show come alive in Tomorrowland with animation and plenty of slapstick routines by the experienced cast. Mike Wazowski will be your host, and his witty quips and jokes attract a regular crowd every night.
