The Best Comedy Club in Southern Illinois!
Did you know that a couple times a month Celebrations Event Center transforms from the best wedding venue in Southern Illinois into THE BEST COMEDY CLUB in Southern Illinois?
Comedy Night At Celebrations started as a direct result to the pandemic impacting the wedding industry. We had a lot of cancellations due to the effects of the pandemic and we had some gaps in our calendar that we wanted to fill! So we got creative and started to brainstorm on what type of events our community could really enjoy. Out of that comedy night was started!
We got connected with a couple local comedians David Kirk & Brice Evans who were passionate about comedy and wanting to build the local comedy scene and partnered with Back to Normal Construction as a comedy night sponsor. We started off with monthly ticketed shows with touring comedians headlining and local comedians opening and got a great response from the community!
Quickly David & Brice realized there was a need for open mic nights for local comedians to practice and fine tune their sets. So we added in a monthly open mic night! Open mic night at Celebrations has an amazing reputation and often brings in comedians from surrounding states. Comedians get 5 mins each on stage and the audience gets to vote on their favorites. The winner gets to open for our monthly ticketed show!
Celebrations Event Center is proud to be a part of the local comedy community and to give comedians a place to practice their art. If you would like to learn more about when our shows and open mics are we recommend following Comedy Night At Celebrations on facebook or looking for our upcoming events on Event Brite!
