Craving Comedy and Cuisine? Denver's Got You Covered

Let's be honest, sometimes you just want a complete night out without bouncing around. You want dinner and a show in Denver without the hassle of Ubers and reservations at separate spots. I get it. Denver's got a few options where you can fuel up and crack up all in the same place. But which one's right for you? Let's break it down.

Where Can You Find Dinner and a Show in Denver?

Denver offers a surprisingly diverse range of venues to enjoy dinner and a show in Denver. From nationally touring comedians to improv troupes and indie theater, there's something for every taste. And several of these venues serve food and drinks, making for a seamless experience.

• Comedy Works Downtown: Located at 1226 15th St in LoDo, Comedy Works is a Denver institution. They bring in big-name comedians and have a full dinner menu and bar. Expect to pay a bit more here ($$-$$$).
• RISE Comedy: Head to Five Points (1260 22nd St) for improv and sketch comedy at RISE. They have a bar and are generally more affordable ($-$$).
• Bovine Metropolis Theater: This spot (1527 Champa St, Central Business District) focuses on improv and classes ($-$$).
• Bug Theatre: Over in Highland (3654 Navajo St), the Bug hosts all sorts of performances, including comedy and film screenings ($-$$). It's a true independent theater with eclectic offerings.

And, of course, there's Denver Comedy Lounge at 2200 Larimer St in RiNo. What makes DCL different? We're a purpose-built comedy club, not just a bar that happens to have comedy.
