GR Comedy Scene

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. 
You can find more about the events at Dog Story Theatre at www.Dogstorytheatre.com.
