The Comedy Arena performs comedy shows. Sometimes this is the form of improv or stand up but this can also be in the form of sketch Comedy, Story telling, comedy magic, comedy hypnosis as well as scripted productions.

Unless otherwise noted, at The Comedy Arena, all of our seats are cabaret style (typically 4-5 chairs to a table) and general admission which means we will seat based on a first come, first served basis. Our staff will seat you upon arrival strategically for an optimal experience. Seating begins close to the stage and then fans out. You may be sat with another couple or group if your party is less than 4. In most cases, we will ask parties of 2 to sit on either the left or right side of the circular table in order for that table to be possibly shared with another party of 2. If you have not checked in within 15 minutes after the start of an event we may sell your tickets to another guest.

At The Comedy Arena, we believe that laughter should be accessible to everyone! That's why we offer three different price points for our tickets—all providing the same great experience. Choose the price that best fits your financial situation, knowing that every ticket grants you entry to the same fantastic show. Your support helps us continue bringing joy and comedy to our community. Please note, the price of your ticket has no bearing on where you will sit in proximity to the stage. Thank you for being a part of our audience!

If you got it, great! It will make checking in easier. But we also can you look your name up if you have misplaced your ticket.

If your free ticket or voucher came with a promo code, simple enter that code upon checkout. However, if your free ticket does not have a promo code, you will need to email us here to assist you in your purchase.

The Comedy Arena is located at 305 E. Virginia St. #104 in Downtown McKinney, TX.
