Did you know that comedy greats Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien grew up in Massachusetts? If laughter is what you need, check out one of these comedy clubs in Massachusetts. You can’t hold them responsible when your sides ache from those belly laughs, however. And you never know when you’re watching a future celebrity either.
Staging laughs since the 1970s, Nick’s Comedy Stop is a Massachusetts staple for great shows. The club isn’t fancy, but the bar offerings are ample. Nick’s doesn’t serve food, so eat before the show. Call about renting the place out for a private comedy show.
In addition to serving up some of the best Chinese food around, Kowloon Komedy—better known as the Kowloon—serves up comedy, too. One look at the autographed photos on the wall tells guests they’re walking where some of today’s comedy greats once walked. Check out a comedy show and be sure to have dinner, as the food is truly sublime.
Featuring Massachusetts and national talent, Laugh Boston serves dinner, drinks and laughs. Even the cocktails have comedy-fueled names. Take part in their open mic night if you think you can make the crowd laugh!
