The Attic Comedy Club - Comedy Auditions - A Live Comedy Show

Ever wondered where the next headliners get their start? Welcome to Comedy Audition Open Mic @ The Attic Comedy Club, the ultimate proving ground at Columbus' premier underground comedy room.

This isn't your average open mic. In collaborattion with the Independent Comedy Collective, the bookers of The Attic Comedy Club are opening the stage specifically for up-and-coming comedians with 4 years or less of stand-up experience.

This is the perfect room to cut your teeth, find your voice, and get seen by the club's management. Local comics are putting their names in a bucket for a high-stakes chance at landing future coveted booking spots on our main stage showcases.

Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan wanting to see raw, unfiltered sets from the next generation of talent, or just looking for an incredible, unpredictable Thursday night out in Olde Towne East—this is where the magic happens. No two shows are ever the same. Come drink, laugh, and help us decide who rules the stage!
