We are open 7 days a week, except for a few holidays (even we need a break from laughing). Doors open at 6pm most days, and sometimes earlier at weekends.
Not yet 42 years ago (1996), yet a long long time ago and certainly pre-pandemic, Rick Jenkins opened The Comedy Studio in the attic of a Chinese restaurant. Through ups and downs, through different Camberville locations – the intersection of old skool artistry and progressive viewpoints/performance – the Studio has found a long term home in Harvard Square.
The Comedy Studio remains Boston’s most unique stage for comedians and other artistic performers in an intimate and inclusive environment for theatrical lovers and performers. Winner of the “Best of Boston, Best Comedy Club” for three consecutive years by Boston Magazine.
Now under new management, a key goal of the Studio is to be “where entertainers come home” when in Boston. This inevitably means being welcoming to one and all, an occasionally eclectic mix of attitudes and a space to experiment. Entering means accepting all of humanity with tolerance, even if not agreement, yet always with a smile in your heart.
The Comedy Studio features an array of emerging and world-renowned comedic and artistic talent. But don’t take our word for it. Frank Smiley, senior producer of Conan said of The Comedy Studio, “I consider it the greatest comedy club on earth.” We agree. And we want more…we will push beyond our core of stand-up, we welcome new forms which will entertain.
Our typical line ups and schedules vary but are based around the following acts and performances:
Monday – Music & Spoken Word
Tuesday – Open Mic
Wednesday – Headliner “An hour with…”
Thursday – 3-5 people, featuring a longer set
Friday & Saturday – Showcase with 5-6 people and regular drop-in special guests
Doors at 6pm / Showtime 7pm.
