Go Bananas Comedy Club

Over the past twenty six years, Go Bananas Comedy Club has become both Cincinnati's home for stand-up comedy and one of the most respected comedy clubs in the nation. The club has hosted many of stand-up's biggest stars, including Jim Gaffigan, Dave Chappelle, Daniel Tosh, Joe Rogan, Lisa Lampinelli, Doug Stanhope, Ron White, and the late Mitch Hedberg.

In an age of corporate-owned venues where comedians are often treated like an afterthought, Go Bananas is something of a rarity: A comedy club that focuses on comedy. Their commitment to providing audiences and performers with unforgettable experiences is why professional comedians voted Go Bananas "Best Club to Work" at the 2010 Rooftop Comedy Awards.

In addition to bringing in established headliners, Go Bananas supports emerging talent by hosting film festivals, experimental comedy shows, and their ever-popular Funniest Person in Cincinnati Contest. The club also co-produces and books national talent for the annual Cincinnati Brew Ha-Ha Beer & Comedy Festival, a free outdoor event that draws thousands of people to beautiful Sawyer Point Park for a weekend of laughter.

The club's stellar reputation for bringing in smart, enthusiastic audiences has prompted many comedians to record albums in Go Bananas's showroom. The impressive list of performers who have released albums that were recorded at Go Bananas includes up-and-comers like Ryan Singer and Rachel Feinstein, as well as Comedy Central mainstays like Tommy Johnagin, Josh Sneed, and Mike Birbiglia.

Big enough to bring in comedy's brightest stars but small enough to still feel like a family, Go Bananas will continue to be a second home for anyone in need of a cold beer and a good laugh.
