#1 – The Dinner Detective
Ok, ok we are biased, but hear us out! (or, check out some reviews!) The Dinner Detective offers an experience unlike any other when it comes to murder mystery shows. No hokey costumes, no pressure on the audience to play a pre-written characters, and our actors are hidden in the audience so the killer could be sitting right next to you…. Fans of improv and true crime will love this interactive comedy show as they compete to win the title (and prize bag) for top sleuth. The Dinner Detective holds public shows on weekends year-round, and offers private shows for groups of 30+. This is THE place to go in town to get a mystery, prizes, drinks, comedy, AND a four-course meal all in one!
#2 – Donnie B’s Comedy Club
Donnie B’s is a good choice for if you are seaking a more traditional stand up comedy experience. Their shows features local and touring comics, and you can expect to see a few performers per show. Their evening usually consists of one performer headlining, often two nights in a row, and their calendar boasts several shows a month. Tickets go on sale the Monday before each show, and are also available for purchase at the door if they are not sold out.
#3 – Brew Ha Ha
Brew Ha Ha, hosted by Buzz Bomb Brewing Company, is a great option if you’re looking for a more intimate setting with locally grown comedians. Open mics are held once a month, which seem to be their most frequent shows. This is a great spot for some chill comedy and good drinks.
#4 – BOS Center Bank of Springfield
If you are looking for big touring acts and show, then BOS Center is your spot. Comedy isn’t the only thing they host, so you’ll have plenty of options for entertainment if you’re looking for something more mainstream.
