The collection of comedians making stops on Circle City stages this summer is no laughing matter.
Driving the news: Big names Eddie Griffin and Kevin James recently completed weekend tour stops, and dozens of high-profile stand-up performances are still heading our way.
Reality check: While this (not exhaustive) guide focuses on mainstream names you might recognize from a Netflix special or a TV show, Indy is also home to scores of local joke dealers and improv artists killing it at open mics around the city.
- Be sure to check out venues like White Rabbit, The Wit Theater and Black Circle for a chance to see the next big thing, or grab the mic yourself.
