What does the GR comedy scene look like? Believe it or not... It's growing. With events like LaughFest [takes place in March] that bring in famous comedians such as Kevin Hart, Bill Cosby, Betty White, Jim Gaffigan and more Grand Rapids is getting on the map little by little. There are a couple places you can catch comedy acts.
1. DeVos Performance Hall has a line up of events which include comedians every month. You can find a complete lineup @ http://devosperformancehall.com/arena-schedule .
Daniel Tosh is coming up on June 7!
2. Dr.Grin's is on the 3rd floor of The BOB downtown. You can find comedy acts here every
Thursday- Friday with performances at 8PM and 10PM. Tickets are usually $12-$15 unless it is
bigger name.
3.River City Improv: This is an improv comedy group from Calvin College Alumni.
They perform mostly at Calvin and tickets are about $10.
I saw these guys perform at the Women's Literary Club in GR.
They were defintitely funny and worth seeing.
A great thing about this show is that it is pretty clean humor where
most comedians need to add crude humor.

4.Dog Story Theatre: Odd one for sure but a bunch of girls and
I went here for a bachelorette party. The comedy show was an improv
group from Chicago and after a few martinis we were loving it.
I think tickets were about $10 cash at the door.
