Shark's Comedy Club is a KILLER comedy room in Downtown Dallas that hosts stand-up comedy shows featuring touring professional comics and local talent. Our underground lounge has that old-school New York Comedy Club vibe and features a full menu and bar. Experience LIVE stand-up comedy underground, beneath a 20-story high-rise in historic downtown Dallas. 

You can purchase tickets for Shark's Comedy Club shows through our website, or at the front desk downstairs on the night of the show if tickets are still available. To see all available upcoming shows please click HERE.

Anyone can attend a show at Shark's Comedy Club. If you wish to drink alcoholic beverages you will need to show your I.D. 

Shark's is located at 1303 Main St, Dallas, TX 75202, at the corner of Main and Field. Unfortunately the club does not have its own parking lot and we do not offer valet services. We recommend using ride share for convenience and the ability to partake without worrying about consequences. If that is not an option for your party, Downtown has multiple parking options; including paid lots, street parking, and meters, which can be paid for with coins or via the ParkMobile app. There are many parking garages and there is even one in the same building. Parking can be a bit tricky, so we suggest arriving at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your show to give yourself ample time to park and get to the show on time.

Our underground lounge has a full bar and food menu. Depending on staffing, you will usually need to order food and drinks from the bar. On some nights, we have servers that can take your order from your seats or table. You can view the menu HERE.

Shark's Comedy Club has an open mic every Thursday Night at 930PM. Comics can sign up in-person starting around 9PM. The Thursday show is called Swimming with Sharks and is a wild, unpredictable show that is also a live comedy podcast. The show is streamed on Spotify, YouTube, Apple, Amazon and more! There is also a more traditional open mic every Friday Night after the 8PM show, which starts around 930PM. Comics usually get in free to the 8PM show and can sign-up in person before the Friday open mic starts. 

There is a link to submit on the website entitled "Comedy Submissions". Due to the large volume of submissions, we may not be able to respond to every message. Thank you! Please include a little bit about yourself and any links you want us to check out. Comics that include info, links, videos will be given more consideration.
