The History

 

Funny Bone Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre has been the career launching pad for dozens of the familiar faces of television and film. Such Superstars as Drew Carey, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, David Alan Grier, Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Kevin Hart, D.L. Hughley, and Dane Cook have all dazzled Funny Bone crowds at one point with their comedic genius.

 

 

Reservations and Ticket Policies

 

All sales are final. No refunds, credits, or exchanges.

 

Advance ticketing and reservations are always recommended as our shows do sellout. You may purchase tickets at the door but we cannot guarantee there will be any seats left available.

When purchasing tickets online, please make your selection very carefully. Tickets purchased for the incorrect day or time cannot be exchanged for a different show date or time.

 

Please only hit the submit button once to avoid additional charges.

 

We are now contactless. When you arrive to the club simply give the name your reservation(s) is under with the card used to purchase your reservation to the podium attendant and you and your party will be seated in the showroom. No physical ticket is required and no tickets will be sent to you.

In the event that a show is canceled, we can only issue refunds back to the original point of sale. If we are unable to issue your refund back to the original point of sale, your ticket purchase amount will be credited for any upcoming show of your choice.

 

Tickets become available around 1-3 months prior to the show date. You may purchase tickets all the way up to the start time of the show, however we cannot guarantee any seats will be left.

 

The only way to ensure you have a seat in the showroom is to pay for your reservation. We cannot “save” seats for any patron; those who’ve paid for their seats have priority.

All acts and show times are subject to change. Shows vary by comedian and day.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL! No refunds, credits, or exchanges.

You must present the credit/debit card used to purchase the tickets & valid ID that matches the name on the ticket when checking in. Please be sure to have these items with you on the night of your event.

The Funny Bone is completely ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, as well as accommodating to anyone with special needs.

 

Everyone must have valid ID to enter. Show times are subject to change. As a general rule, doors open 1 hour before show time for the first shows each day and half an hour before show time for the second shows. Seating time may also change, dependent upon the duration of the previous show.

 

Tickets are sold by table. 

 

We seat 4 people per table. If your party consists of less than four people, there is a possibility that other people may be sat with you. To ensure an entire table is reserved for your party, please purchase the whole table. This is the only way to guarantee you will not be sat with another party.


To be seated together, your party must purchase together in one singular transaction. If you purchase multiple tables of 4, please use the contact form on our website after completing your purchases to request the tables be assigned near each other. Our ability to do this is not guaranteed, however we will do our best.

All guests are allowed to enter the showroom up until 30 minutes after the show begins.

 

We stop seating 30 minutes in to the show as it causes disruptions to the performing artists. No exceptions. No refunds.
