Houston is one of the best cities in the country for live comedy, with shows happening every night of the week at venues like the Houston Improv, The Secret Group, The Riot, Joke Joint Comedy Showcase, and more. It can be hard to keep track of every comedy show happening across the city — and to tell the difference between open mics and proper headliner shows you’d want to take a date or a group of friends to.
The list below is updated every week and includes all comedy shows in Houston this weekend, excluding open mic comedy, so you only see featured shows and touring headliners. Whether you’re looking for stand-up comedy, improv, or a late-night variety show, this is the most complete weekend comedy calendar for Houston.
