Comedy Factory
36 Light and Lombard Streets
410-752-4189

The Comedy Factory is under the same ownership as Burke’s Restaurant, which also features comedy in the upstairs lounge. This place has been Baltimore’s premier comedy spot for over 10 years and draws patrons of all sorts. The structure can seat 200 guests and tickets can be ordered by phone or purchased on location just before the show. Tickets are $10. Parking is available at a nearby public garage.

The Comedy Factory usually hosts a talented bunch of comics each night and is a great place to spend an evening after dinner or before a night on the town.

Tracy’s features an excellent mixture of local and touring comedy acts. Patrons can experiment with some excellent seafood in the main dinning room upstairs, then head downstairs for some comedy. Such an endevour is wise not only because the food is dynamite, but The Bowman and Tracy’s have a good little discount going: two comedy club admissions for the price of one with a dinner at The Bowman.

Each night both an opening act and a headliner perform. The comedians’ credits include TV show writers and featured comedians from Las Vegas and New York.
