Comedian Overview

COMEDY BINGO is a one-of-a-kind stand-up show featuring games, prizes, comedy, and, of course, BINGO! The show features two games happening simultaneously: a traditional bingo game played between comedians’ sets, and a signature Comedy Bingo game where audience members receive cards filled with stand-up comedy stereotypes. As comics incorporate those moments into their performances, you mark your card for a chance to win prizes from local businesses.


JOKES ON YOU COMEDY - starring Mike Geeter, Rob Jenkins, Kevin Johnson, Cam Rowe, and Ricarlo Williams, and hosted by Tam White --- brings together a lineup of powerhouse Michigan headliners, each with a completely different vibe. Different style. Different edge. Different energy. Just when you think you’ve caught your breath, another punchline lands and the whole room erupts again.


EYES UP HERE COMEDY - Get ready for a high-energy, no-holds-barred comedy experience as Eyes Up Here Comedy brings together some of the funniest women in the Midwest. With a rotating lineup, every show is fresh, unpredictable, and packed with bold perspectives, big punchlines, and fearless storytelling. Hosting the party is Mike Geeter (Comedy Central), delivering electric energy and razor-sharp crowd work that keeps the entire night buzzing.

Smart. Unapologetic. Hilarious.  STARRING Melanie Hearn / Simply Shanel / Shelly Smith / Peggy Beattie


HASH BASH COMEDY MASH rolls up Blain Hill, Kevin Johnson, Brett Mercer, and Emma Stevenson into one perfectly packed lineup. Different styles, different vibes — but they all deliver the good stuff. From slow-burn storytelling to rapid-fire punchlines, these comics know how to spark a room and keep the laughs blazing.

Lighting the fuse for the whole night is your host, Mike Geeter, keeping the energy lit, the crowd buzzing, and the transitions smoother than your favorite strain.  Expect jokes that hit hard, bits that stick with you, and a room so loud you’ll think the laughter’s been amplified. No seeds, no stems — just comedy at its highest level.

THIS WEEK = FOUR NIGHTS OF CAN’T-MISS COMEDY

We’re stacking the week with four totally different shows, four very different vibes, and one guarantee: you’re going to laugh HARD.
