The club is home to the best comedians from around the country, many of whom you’ve seen on outlets like HBO and Comedy Central. , as well as the local talent looking to get the great opportunity.

Policies:
The Loony Bin Comedy Club is an establishment for those 21 and over. Visitors are recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before the show. Here are a couple of other important rules to know:
- Smoking: For many years, the Loony Bin allowed smoking in the showroom, but that is no longer the case. Smoking is only allowed in the pool / bar room area outside of the show room.
- Food / Drink : Each person is required to purchase at least one food or drink. See options below.
Bar and pool room:
Before the show, sit in the bar area and enjoy a game of billiards. It’s not uncommon to see comedians hanging out there after the show. The bartenders are knowledgeable, capable of making just about any beverage you want, and the bar menu offers frozen drinks, wine, beer, and some special comedy club concoctions, such as Laughing Gas, a 32-ounce beverage served in a glass that includes vodka, gin, rum, tequila, cranberry, pineapple, orange juice and more.
Food:
After settling in at your table, choose from a fare-type menu you’d expect at a club or bar without a full kitchen. Nachos, cheese sticks, chicken wings, and chips and salsa are some of the appetizers, and if you’re a little hungry, you can grab a pizza or burger.
