Vermont Comedy Arts is determined to bring comedy and laughter to all!

Our weekly standup open mic, hosted at Vermont Comedy Club, has been a popular Wednesday tradition for years.

Come throw your name in the hat and tell some jokes -- or just come to watch, laugh and cheer people on. FREE!

Watch comedy, take it apart!

DAY: Sunday, May 31st
TIME: 3:00pm — 4:00pm

Sometimes you just want to know WHY something works, and that's what this series is all about!

Join us to watch an improv scene/show, then (with the aid of our very own Director of Education, Sam Kurnit) go over all the moves and discuss what worked, what didn't, and most importantly, why!

For this edition of The Dissection, we'll be watching several excerpts from Ben Schwartz and Friends:

Wednesdays at 7pm, Vermont Comedy Arts presents some of the funniest long form improv teams our community has to offer! This month, local comedy group AUNTIE GREGG  hosts/headlines this wild hour of spontaneous fun, featuring different guest teams each week. It's a variety of styles and it's always a great time!

After the 7pm show, the night breaks out into an improv JAM, where absolutely anyone who wants to give improv a try can jump onstage -- and those too chickenshit can sit and watch. ;)

It's only 5 bucks (free for students!) and it beats sitting on your couch on Wednesday night. What're you waiting for? CHECK IT OUT!

Join us on the Happy Place Cafe’s patio to watch the marathon and cheer on the runners (especially the comedians). Maybe we’ll even spray them with water guns, who knows?

Each Saturday, we host a FREE improv drop-in class in the Vermont Comedy Club showroom with rotating instructors and themes. All levels of experience are welcome. Donations appreciated!

Join us from 11:30-12:30 on Wednesday, May 13th for Lunch & Laugh - a 30 minute improv workshop (all experience levels welcome) followed by 30 minutes of eating lunch and chatting with your new friends.

Studies have shown that people who improvise are better collaborators, more creative and have superior active listening skills. Improv builds resilience and provides catharsis through play, improving overall mental health. Also, it’s just plain FUN!

A “bag lunch” from Happy Place Cafe is included in the price.

An improv show you can bring the whole family to! Every month, the Vermont Comedy Touring Company will perform short-form improv games, like those seen on Whose Line Is It Anyway, and make up hilarious scenes based on audience suggestions. Rated PG.

Each Saturday, we host a FREE improv drop-in class in the Vermont Comedy Club showroom with rotating instructors and themes. All levels of experience are welcome. Donations appreciated!

THE KINGDOM KIDS are a cadre of experienced comedians who all grew up hanging out in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

In this popular show at VCC, the KINGDOM KIDS solicit stories from audience volunteers, then use them as inspiration for a spontaneous, freewheeling, hilarious comedy show you'll never forget.

The VCA Touring Company is opening. Following the Kingdom Kids’ set, there will be a 30 minute JAM where anyone can get up on stage to play.

Don't miss it!
