No comedy shows posted yet for tonight — check back after noon.
Albuquerque's comedy scene punches above its weight. Hyena's brings in national touring acts weekly. Laffs has been a fixture since before most of us were adults. The Box does improv that's actually funny — and that's a rare thing to be able to say about improv. Then there's the open mic circuit, which is where you find the city's best-kept secret comedians — the ones who are three years away from being famous and right now are doing sets at a brewery on a Tuesday. Tonight's listings are all above. If you're going to a club show, get there early — the two-drink minimum goes down easier when you're not rushing. If you're doing an open mic, sit in the back and tip your server. The comedian on stage is watching you.
Venues post their lineups throughout the day. Check the full comedy calendar or browse tonight's events across all categories.

The main venues for stand-up tonight are Hyena's Comedy Nightclub and Laffs Comedy Caffe. For improv, check The Box Performance Space in Nob Hill. Many breweries and bars also host open mic nights — check the listings above for the full picture.
For headlining acts at Hyena's and Laffs, buy online — popular shows sell out. Open mics and smaller shows are usually walk-in with a one or two drink minimum. Check each listing for the door policy.
