The Laughing Skull Lounge is Atlanta's only full-time progressive stand-up comedy club. We are located in the heart of Atlanta's Midtown Mile, hidden in the back of The Vortex Bar & Grill on Peachtree Street. This intimate setting of only 74 seats, along with today's "hippest" comedians, gives you a comedy experience that you can not find anywhere else... period! Some examples of comedians rolling through the skull: Doug Benson, Maria Bamford, Greg Proops, Paul F Thompkins, Aisha Tyler, Jake Johannsen, Emo Phillips, Donnell Rawlings, & many more! And you can come early or stay late to eat at one of Atlanta's best restaurants... The Vortex has won best burger in Atlanta since 1992 & was recently on The Travel Channel's "Man vs Food" for their double by-pass burger. "Great Comedy, Great Food, Great Space...this is the best club to see comedy in the Atlanta!"-Numerous ATL Comedy Fans

Finally A Comedy Lounge For Us Intowners!

Laughing Skull Comedy Lounge is long overdue. And it's part/adjacent to one of our fave Burger Joint's, The Vortex. No traveling to OTP/Sandy Springs. The progressive guests are great. When Hollis Gillespie takes the stage. I'm rolling in the aisles. Maybe we might even catch a glance of Suzanne, and one of her many bikes. The spirit of Lenny Bruce lives!

Pros: Next To Vortex

Cons: Parking, We Just Take Marta!

Best Comedy Club in Atlanta!!!

I went this past weekend to see comedian Hal Sparks and we LOVED our experience. That was one of the best comedy shows I have ever been to and I think a great deal of it had to do with the club. Dont get me wrong, Hal Sparks is VERY funny, but maybe the room helped him be funnier. We plan to come back as much as possible!

Pros: comedians, seating, location

Cons: parking, kinda hard to find

Love Love Laughing Skull!

The owner is hilarious, and we've yet to see a bad comedian! The venue is a great setting for a group of friends or just a couple. Its definitely worth checking out! I'm sure you'll go back. Marshall has also generously hosted fundraising shows and donated a portion of the shows proceeds to local charities.

Pros: Great Venue! - Really Cool atmosphere for comedy

Cons: parking is no good...

Best croissants in town! Well, not exactly...

As huge stand up fans, we loooove the Laughing Skull! You get a chance to really connect with the comedians. There's not a bad seat in the house.

Pros: Intimate space; worldclass acts; The Vortex!

Cons: Narrow entrance hall, maybe? That's about it.

Super Cool and Very Funny!

I finally went to this comedy club the other week and had a blast. This is not like any other comedy club I have ever been to... and in the heart of midtown Atlanta!!! I am very happy that Atlanta has such a cool comedy club. The comedians I saw were all very funny with unique jokes. I will be making this place one of my regular spots.
