Meet the laugh makers
🎤🤣 Over 75 Laugh Makers grace the stage each year at Comedy Cave! 🎤🤣
For a quarter century, Comedy Cave (and next door Billy’s Pizza & More)has been a place where Calgary comes to laugh, unwind, and forget the outside world for a while. Now in our 25th year, we’re proud to be the city’s only dedicated comedy club bringing live stand-up to the stage six nights a week — Monday through Saturday — all year long.
Every show is built around one simple goal: make you laugh hard and leave feeling better than when you arrived. With a minimum of three comedians on stage each night and nearly 300 shows a year, Comedy Cave hosts hundreds of performances annually, featuring more than 75 different comedians from across North America.
Below, you’ll meet the comedians currently bringing the funny — each with their own voice, perspective, and style. Whether you’re planning a date night, a night out with friends, or just need a good laugh, you’re in the right place.
