Laugh Louisville will host stand-up comedy, improv, and podcasts from established local, regional, and national headliners, as well as talented up-and-comers with a focus on supporting comedians from Louisville and throughout greater Kentucky. The downtown Louisville theater space has been renovated to include a larger stage, an increase in seating capacity to 330, and upgrades across the board from cosmetic improvements to an all-new sound system. From comedy fans to seasoned performers, this room for laughter should not disappoint!
