Comedy Works

Denver


Denver’s best comedy club occupies a basement space in Larimer Sq (enter down a set of stairs near the corner of Larimer and 15th) and routinely brings in up-and-coming yucksters from around the country. It can feel a bit cramped if you’re claustrophobic, but the seats are comfortable and the quality of acts is top shelf.

Performances also take place at the slightly bigger Comedy Works South location, south of town.
