Laughing Skull Lounge - Atlanta Comedy Club
Owner
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…

Tiny but comfortable. Love it.

Although it's tiny, the seats in the Laughing Skull are comfortable, and aren't crammed as close together as many other comedy clubs. The ticket prices are usually reasonable, and it has the added bonus of being inside the Vortex, so if you show up early enough you can grab a delicious burger before you head in for the show.
I advise going with the middle seating rather than the tables up front. It seems like the tables would be better, because you can lean on them, but really they're small and you're so near the stage, you can almost touch the comic's shins. (If you're looking for a good shin-touching, though, tables up front, all the way.)
- Pros: Great comics, intimate venue, room to breathe
- Cons: Inflated nearby parking on "event nights"

Great!

Great venue - Small enough that the comedians can interact with people, but not so small that you feel like you're in someone's basement! Was there last Saturday, and a good time was had by all!
- Pros: Small, Intimate
- Cons: None!

Finally A Comedy Lounge For Us Intowners!
by jaymaygm at Citysearch
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!

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
