Dallas Comedy Club

Predecessor: Dallas Comedy House

Dallas Comedy House was Deep Ellum's primary improv and comedy venue for nearly a decade before permanently closing in August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ian and Rosie Caruth, who had performed at Dallas Comedy House before its closure, recognized the gap left in the Dallas comedy community.

Founding Dallas Comedy Club (2021)

The Caruths, together with Jamie Hogan, Sarah Tullos, and Claire Daigle, opened Dallas Comedy Club in 2021 in the same Deep Ellum space at 3036 Elm St. The new organization built on the established infrastructure and community relationships of its predecessor while establishing its own identity as a multi-format comedy venue. Dallas Comedy Club launched with programming across improv, stand-up, sketch, and storytelling five nights a week.

Ongoing Operations

Dallas Comedy Club continues to operate at 3036 Elm St in Deep Ellum, serving as Dallas's primary multi-genre comedy institution and training center.

Dallas Comedy Club presents a multi-disciplinary comedy program spanning improv, stand-up, sketch comedy, and storytelling, building on the Deep Ellum comedy tradition established by its predecessor Dallas Comedy House. The venue functions as both a performance space and training center, offering classes alongside its nightly performance schedule in a neighborhood historically associated with Dallas's alternative arts scene.
