Live comedy has become one of Upstate New York’s best nights out. Touring headliners, late-night regulars, podcast favorites, and breakout club comics work theaters, casino showrooms, and clubs across the region — from the Palace Theatre in Albany to the showrooms at Turning Stone and del Lago and stages throughout Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Capital Region.
This page is your running guide to every stand-up tour and comedy show on our radar across Upstate NY, listed with the soonest dates first. Whether you’re after an arena-sized headliner or a low-key club set, you’ll find the upcoming dates here.
We follow rooms in every region of the state, so wherever you are between Buffalo and the Capital Region, the next laugh is on the calendar. Comedy tours announce quickly and sell out faster, so we refresh this page as new shows are added and surface presale codes and ticket links wherever we can find them.
