Where to see comedy in Phoenix

The Valley's two main stand-up clubs sit about 15 minutes apart, one downtown and one in Tempe. A few things to know first.

Stand Up Live

50 W Jefferson St · Downtown Phoenix

  • Downtown's headliner club for national touring comedians.
  • Servers take orders quietly during sets so you don't miss the act.
  • The box office opens 3 hours before showtime.
  • The club says it won't accept tickets bought through resellers like StubHub, Vivid Seats or SeatGeek. Buy direct to avoid being turned away.
  • Showtimes for November and December are on each show's ticket page.

Tempe Improv

930 E University Dr · Tempe

  • A long-running club by Arizona State, mixing local comics with national names. Gabriel Iglesias and Kevin Nealon have headlined.
  • Same rule as Stand Up Live: buy only through tempeimprov.com, as resale tickets may be refused.
  • Wednesday open mics and regular Spanish-language shows.
  • The box office opens 3 hours before showtime.

Good to know

Quick answers for planning a comedy night in Phoenix.

Do I need to change my clock for Phoenix shows?

No. Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time all year, so it's 3 hours behind New York in winter and 2 hours behind in summer.

Can I buy resale tickets for Stand Up Live or Tempe Improv?

Both clubs say they won't accept tickets bought through third-party resellers. Buy from the club's own site, which is where every link on this page goes.

Where's the comedy in Phoenix?

Downtown Phoenix (Stand Up Live), Tempe near ASU (Tempe Improv), and smaller improv rooms in central Phoenix and Mesa.
