Allowing St. Louis audiences to watch local talent develop, as well as a chance to see touring comics passing through the area, many of these shows are in intimate venues & are free or have cover charges more affordable than a traditional comedy club. Including virtual showcases & mics, the local comedians of the St. Louis area are constantly providing a creative environment for the consumer of comedy to enjoy.
