Went to take photos of comic friend Isaac Willis, and enjoyed my experience. Convenient location adjacent to the famous Vortex restaurant and bar. Intimate setting with a bar!

Nice venue, small but comfortable. Drinks were strong and very reasonably priced. Go for the Sunday brunch show with $4 mimosas. The show could have been better but still heard some decent material. Tickets were average price. Parking is kind of expensive. Id visit again. Four stars overall

I was lucky enough to check out a surprise Kevin Hart show last month while I was in town for a business trip. The staff was unbelievably nice and the customer service is amazing. Its such an intimate environment that you really feel incredibly close no matter where you are (although I was able to get third row luckily!). I HIGHLY recommend checking out this place and tipping your bartender when you do!

Awesome venue & even better staff. The manager Ben is awesome! I was lucky enough to see Kevin Hart and he did not disappoint. It was incredible to see him work out his set with only 60 people in the audience. I cant wait to go back.

If a celebrity like Kevin Hart CHOOSES this place to workshop his new material while he is in town, you know it’s a gem.I scored last minute tickets to a Kevin Hart show on a Wednesday night. Tickets sold out in less than a minute, and manager Chris was EXTREMELY responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. The club is intimate but not cramped. Drink service was fast and delicious. I felt like I was in a speakeasy!I highly recommend this place and can promise you’ll have a wonderful experience that you won’t soon forget.

A small, intimate setting which allowed the comedians to interact with much of the audience. The staff was great. Respectful and friendly, even when that girl had a bit too much to drink and needed to be removed. They were quick and nice about it, didnt cause a scene at all. The comedians turned it into a joke and we all moved on quickly! Would definitely recommend to anyone 21+. Side note: I was on a date and this is one of the most fun ones Ive ever had! Fellas take heed

My babe and I really enjoyed ourselves here last night. Patrick was a really great host. The comedians were fun. Love the diverse environment. I would just recommend putting hooks under the tables so the ladies can hang their purses. ️ Drinks were really good too. I was actually good after the first one but there’s a two drink minimum. Lol. I would recommend this place for a good date night with your babe or friends.

Its pretty good most of the time. The regular comics have a nasty habit of taking forever to come up with new material, and there are times when it feels like the comics think the performance is an overcharged joke (when they should ironically take performances seriously). The Atlantas Best showcase is usually the best show - even over celebrity/feature comics - but I once performed at an open mic night immediately before Chris Tucker surprise-performed out of nowhere, so you never know. Definitely check it out as part of an Atlanta excursion every now and then.

Reasons why its our favorite comedy club: we like that its small. It feels exclusive even though its not! The smaller size makes it easier to hear as some of the ppl I go with are hard of hearing. Theres a parking ramp close by, so no worries about parking. We also love to eat at The Vortex next door - before or after, or maybe before AND after!

My favorite comedy club in Atlanta. Sometimes they have surprise celebrity guests, who are invited to major gigs and they have a pre-run at the Laughing Skull. In my experience these practice gigs are way funnier than the big ones, since they can be more relaxed in smaller crowds.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Blown away by the customer service I experienced! They helped me get impossible to snag Kevin Hart tickets, and were so incredibly kind and responsive! Getting a chance to see Kevin Hart in an intimate setting like that was one of the best nights ever! Such a cool place, easy parking, great staff and service. Can’t wait to go back!

Vortex is a cool bar with fun decorating. And Laughing Skulls is a safe place to do stand up. No drunk heckling. Often known comedians are invited to do their gig. Also open mics are available for brave new artists ;)

We had a wonderful experience at this intimate comedy club. The manager Benjamin was responsive and went out of his way to help us get tickets. There is a 2 drink minimum for shows, but they’re HUGE and yummy. They host the best talent- you’re sure to laugh/cry happy tears. 10 out of 10 recommend.

On February 26th 2020 I got two of the hottest tickets in the city to see Kevin Hart. After trying and trying and trying for 14 days straight to get them it finally happen! And I must say is was well worth it. For such a intimate venue that only holds 70-75 people. And you have over a million people trying to get tickets, I felt like I hit the lottery. So if you’re reading this know you too can and will be just as lucky as I was. Almost 24 hours later my lady & I are still talking about the show.

An amazing venue! Very intimate, saw one of my favorite comedians up close, will remember that night forever! If you wanna laugh and like awesome comics this is the place for you!

Nice stage and Christmas decorations. My husband and I came on New Year’s Eve for his birthday. 1 comedian seemed to be on drugs and wasn’t funny at all... he didn’t even tell jokes. Out of about 8 comedians, 1 was good. I feel like my money was wasted on this show.

Had a great time! The theater is small, so there really is no bad seats. The drinks are fair priced for being in the city and strong enough where they are actually worth it. Wasnt too impressed with the line up of Atlantas top 10, but still laughed and had a great time.

Super tasty food! Highly suggest the alcohol as well. Atmosphere is great, just me prepared to wait a while in line if you’re coming in late Saturday or Friday. Bartenders are super friendly!

A wonderful little club where the seats are comfy, the drinks keep coming and the laughs are to die for.My wife and I went here for our first time to see Emo Phillips and we were really impressed. Despite the small venue, the service was top notch and drinks were easy to get. Because of the small venue, the comedians (including MC + 2 warmups) were able to really interact with the audience. It made for a stellar set of performances.Much better b than the other clubs and mega shows Ive been to!

Drinks and food were both really good. I recommend the som thing fruity drink and the Mac and cheese chimichanga. I’m not a fan of burger but these were some of the best I’ve had. They also have the impossible burger. I would come back to try more of their burgers and get more drinks!

I went there with my family and on the first day we werent able to attend because the tickets were sold out. So we bought tickets for the next days show. I really liked and enjoyed it! The seats are very close to each other, which is a little uncomfortable. But after the show starts, youll forget about it!

An amazing value. Every time I come here it is top quality comedy for a reasonable expense. Great idea for any fun night out. Eat before coming in because they dont serve food, but they do have a bar that tends to have pretty quick and efficient service.

Hands down, best comedy club in Atlanta! 74 seats means you are close no matter what! They are strict about heckling and being respectful!

The Laughing Skull Comedy Club is a fantastic new live comedy venue in the KY scene. It has a great set up with lots of seating, a beautiful bar and friendly staff, and is perfect for catching a live comedy show. Come out and have a great time supporting local art and the community.

Cant say enough good things about this club. The manager Ben Evans handled my ticketing issue with speed and generosity. I love this place!

Small, but actually the perfect size for comedy. Went there for the 1st time and had a blast. It was open mic and most of them were pretty funny. I will definitely be going back.

Awesome comedy club! Intimate venue that helps you feel engaged in the show. They have a 2 drink minimum, but their prices are super reasonable. We live close by, and its one of our favorite date night spots. Be sure to buy tickets ahead of time because they sell out fast!

Great comics! The Vortex has awesome burgers!

8/24/19 was my our 6th Anniversary. We came down with some friends and had a great time! This was our 3rd time at LS. Not a bad seat in the house. Drinks are great, beer is super cold, VIP Booths are awesome, Service is Awesome! Comics are always funny and original. Love it! Thank you LS staff and Comics!

Cozy, intimate little venue with amazing beverage service through out the show. Had a great view from the back bench seating!

Never disappointed when we come. Well worth the money. The show Sunday was great. We will definitely be back.

I was a performer and the audience is very well mixed and very appreciative. I love getting on stage here and the hosts are friendly.

The place is great and small. The real issue is they don’t really supply any good acts. They use to have local and national comedians come through every week. Now it’s just the same 10 local comedians. They just hope that a well known comedian will drop by unannounced. Yet that’s far and between. If you’ve never been to comedy shows outside of Atlanta you will think this is the best. But if you’ve been to other comedy clubs around the nation, you’ll see how behind this club is. There’s actually better clubs in Atlanta that has better comedians. Too bad Atlanta Improv lost its location.

Really decent place and nice open mic aura. Overall a good place to hangout.

Nice seating area and stage. Cool atmosphere. Great experience!

So much fun. Great date or girls/guys night out.

We love the best of ATL- several comics doing quick sets, you cant go wrong!

Cool venue, check out Bob Place when hes thereHe killed it.

Looking for a way to break up your boring work week?We stopped by for Amateur night Wednesday and had a blast. Small venue so seating is limited but not a bad seat in the house.Let them know #RealtorRob with Keller Williams Intown referred you!#RealtorRobslist

The atmosphere was cool. The comedy was just ok, we’ve seen better.

Went to the Best of Atlanta show and it was great. Great mix of comedians and intimate setting. Also, the drinks were on point!

Love this place since finding it. A lot of great talent at the open mic nights. Great beer and great prices. Parking on the same block is available. I’ve been going back weekly.

Absolutely worth the money. We got a VIP table in the second row. It was extremely close to the other tables so if you are not comfortable with being close to random people, you probably will not enjoy the atmosphere (as the entire place is this way and is very small). Out of 10 comedians, there was only one who was not funny. Initially we were skeptical but overall wonderful experience. Definitely will be back!

Really small intimate venue. Great place for a comedy show.

Fun place to watch stand up. Its in the back of the midtown vortex so you can get food beforehand. They have a bar

Overpriced and rude staff. Disappointed.

First time going and we had a great time. The night I went, they had a bunch of comedians doing a 10 min set each. I liked the variety of comics and styles. Some were better than others but overall the experience was great! Drinks were also reasonably price. Great date night...dont sit in the front. You could get roasted!

Fun night at the Open Mic show. Pretty good deal for the entry cost. There were about 14 or 15 performers - ranging from really funny to not-too-funny. But thats what Open Mic night is all about.

Very cool ambiance that creates for an intimate show. Laughs reverberate nicely and drinks are good. Went and saw a headliner here but the other acts were of a local amateur nature of varying degrees of talent, but youre also not paying what you would at the Fox or the Tabernacle. A great place to laugh.

This is the coolest comedy club in Atlanta by far. Had a blast at open mic night. Surprisingly good talent!

The comedians were excellent but it would be nice if the establishment could do something about the excessive noise in the background caused by the ice. Unfortunately, sitting anywhere other than the first two rows will cause you to miss approximately 1/4 of the show depending on how many people order drinks with ice.

Really enjoyed the experience. The show was great, the crowd was mostly awesome. There isnt a bad seat in the spot. Truly intimate.They say there is a two drink minimum but I have no idea how that is enforced. I had two drink but maybe could have skipped that. Bartender is awesome and friendly.I caught the Lucas Bros. The opening acts were very good. I laughed so hard. Definitely coming back. I always hedged on going because Im a big dude and felt like I wouldnt be comfortable. The joint was packed and I had room to manspread if I wanted to . .

Small venue, great laughs, it is perfect for a great date night.

Some really great talent for the price. Wonderful after an awesome burger at the Vortex.

Performed last night for the first time and felt really at home!!! Thanks for the love coming back soon!!!

I love this intimate venue. Its our new go to.

The fact that they have a 2 drink minimum is absurd. Why can’t people go and enjoy themselves without being forced to order multiple drinks? Additionally, if you get pulled over after leaving, that’s an immediate DUI. Why? Because in order to be at this club, you have to order 2+ drinks.

Best of ATL seems to be a bit of a misnomer. Some of the acts were absolutely hilarious, and others were meh. The drinks are good and very fairly priced though!

It was fun and hilarious. That night they had a great line up. the atmosphere was poppin just note about paying to park and first come first serve seating so if you bought a ticket make sure youre there on time.

Fun comedians, good times... Bit crampt with shoulder to shoulder seating though.

Went as a double date with friends and we had a great time. They were having 10 comics with each having 10 minutes. Some were good and some were great. We really enjoyed the quaint atmosphere. Theyre isnt a lot of room but you dont feel overly crowded. Two drink minimum was no problem for us either. Definitely be back.

Great comedy mashupSmaller than anticipated, but good.

Nice spot located inside the Vortex. Only drawback is there was no food.

Really cool place. Beer prices are decent as well.

Outstanding local talent! Great venue

Had a blast at Laughing Skull Lounge. The show was hilarious and the food was incredible. The club is located in a very trendy part of downtown Atlanta. Between the comedy, the food and the location, Laughing Skull Lounge is a perfect date night option. Lastly, you never know what celebrity comic might drop in to do some time. Dave Chappel surpised the audience a few days before we were there. I highly recommend Laughing Skull Lounge.

Perform open mic. Cool place

Small lounge, intimate setting, and all the comedians were funny on night we were there. Get your drinks in advance and get comfortable. There is no break during the show and there were no servers coming around. There is pay parking lot directly across the street.

Fabulous show. The small space adds to the ambiance and my drinks were amazing.

Word of advice, do not book the VIP booths and think you can talk at all or laugh too loud. There was a guy I believe his name is Mathew that was like a babysitter that came down twice talking about this is your second and third warning, in my face talking to me like a child. Only because we were the closest to him so he was watching us. This ruined my whole experience so I only got to enjoy the beginning of the show. So much for a happy birthday with this egotistic man in my face. I will definitely be going to a different comedy show because of this. Ridiculous! 3-stars because the comedians were good.

Great comedy club. Small and intimate. Great house rules.

That was my first comedy night as a visitor - I had so much fun - omg! Amazing place

Place was a little small but staff was cool and so was the show

Loved it!! We saw Mark Normand last night and he was hilarious! Its a great cozy spot for laughter & a couple drinks. Well definitely be back!

This place was great, great entertainment and lots of laughing. Bar tender kept all the drinks full.

The comedy is golden and the drinks are stiff, fantastic venue.

Always a favorite and always a great time. Small club with big laughs. Professional staff, good drinks. 21+ Also, if you see people saying below that they were kicked out for no reason you can be assured that they were talking over the comics or heckling. Some people just dont get it - get a few drinks in them and then they think they are part of the show. I was there the night when the person that just complained got kicked out. The club was recently redesigned to make it more comfortable as well.

ENJOYED THE GAME SHOW WITH JOEL BYARS!! Saw the show with my husband and friends, had a Great Time.Love the Game Show format & spontaneous responses. Really put the comics on their toes. Real Humor in Real Time, Fantastic!! Will be back soon.

Ive been to a few open mic nights here. If you understand what an open mic night is, theres is damn good. Sure not every joke will land, some people are just starting out and dont have their sets tight yet, but Ive only ever seen one comedian that didnt get at least one good laugh from me. I have seen one headliner comedian sneak in 5 minutes at the end of a night as well, so although I still believe thats mostly sales bluster, it is true that famous comedians do actually sneak in to try out material on occasion. All in all a great night for a small cover and a couple of four buck beers.

Awesome comedy club with great food and beautifully crafted drinks.

Great every comedian delivered. Laughed my skull right on off. It was a great experience. Cannot wait to go back!

So so so fun! Great decor, great food and awesome talented comedians! Best stand up show I have ever seen plus good drinks.

I went here to get my feet wet learning about Stand-up for a corporate contest I entered. The ENTIRE experience was top notch, and I will return after the competition with friends just to enjoy for the heck of it for sure! For a solid 2 hours, an array of SO many comics I literally lost count, graced the stage for VERY well-prepared sets! What I especially loved was the POSITIVE vibes (poster advising of an idiot-free zone) and respect for each performer. People want to see the comics- not a rowdy audience. I left feeling like I was around people that respected their work and each other. LOVE.

This place is great. Its a little secret that not many people know about. If you have time for great Burger and some laughs, then this is the place for you.Make sure you tip them!

If you want to know what this place is about checkout their open mic nights. I have used it for a few first dates and its never failed me yet. Except for the time one girl got too drunk and started speaking her native language thinking I understood her, but that was fun too so yeah.

Great comedians great service

Parking can be tricky, since this is in the heart of Midtown. But, the work is worth it. Super fun, small comedy venue. Drinks are between 4 and 7 bucks, and GA tickets are usually 28 so its a reasonably priced night on the town.

Cozy comedy club. There arent many seats so its a somewhat more intimate experience than a lot of places. Good place to see both local and national acts.

Great food and the comics were so funny.

The Laughing Skull is one of the must see places when youre in Atlanta. You enter through the Vortex restaurant, which has amazingly creative tasty burgers, head towards the back to what feels like a secret location behind the restrooms. Enter the through the red curtains to find yourself in a cozy little club. The kind of place youd expect to hear real jazz music and beatnik poets. Youre about to see a great comedy show no matter the night or lineup.This place truly respects comedy and allows the comics to express themselves. The rules for the audience are enforced but always with the mindest of Lets have a good time. There will definitely be cussing. There might be some slight nudity ((probably from a male comic) so dont go if you want a clean show.Another great thing is that well known comics do often drop in on regular night unannounced just to do a set. A great surprise when it happens and a great amount of fun and laughter even when it doesnt.

Anatomy seem to be very popular with the comedians. I would have enjoyed it more with everyday life bloppers.

So much fun!!! Went on open mic night and it was incredible. Will go back.

Very crowed, but nice staff. Went to a comedy show and had a good time. Not super friendly for non-drinkers.

Great place to go out for the night

Good clean intimate comedy for adults.

The comedians were very good! The drinks were excellent and so was the wait staff...

Great venue for comedy. Has its own comedy festival. The talent that comes through here is excellent. The crowds come ready to laugh so the shows do not disappoint. Check it out. An Atlanta treasure.

Always good vibes. I love hittin the stage

Comedy inside of a burger paradise. Yes, yes, yes. Yummy bar food & drinks that will get you right. Very comfy seating in laughing skull with a good stage view from every spot. An Atlanta fave for a reason!

The BEST time ever .. great service!!
