Why Choose The Attic Comedy Club?
Columbus has plenty of places to see stand up. It has one 90-seat room above a restaurant in Olde Towne East where national headliners work close enough to hear you order. Here is why people pick The Attic, and every show on the calendar this month to prove it.
Six reasons the small room wins
Every seat is up close
90 seats on the second floor at 892 Oak Street. Headliners work ten feet away, not across an arena. There is no bad seat because there is no far seat.
Names you know, on a small stage
The veterans wall runs from Dave Chappelle to Mick Foley to Robert Kelly, and the calendar below keeps adding to it. National touring comics play this room on the regular.
Free shows every single week
Twofer Tuesday is a free show with 2-for-1 well drinks. Wednesday is the open mic. Select Saturdays end with Attic After Dark, free DJ nights. A full week of comedy without a ticket price.
A whole night in one building
Osteria is downstairs for dinner, the club is upstairs for the show, and free street parking surrounds the block in Olde Towne East, minutes from downtown Columbus.
Straight prices, no surprises
Advance prices are listed on every show, door tickets are an additional $5, and the two-drink minimum is suggested, not enforced. When a show is filling up, the calendar says so honestly.
Columbus keeps saying yes
4.7 stars from 269+ Google reviews. The word that comes up over and over is intimate. The room is the product, and the city has noticed.

Questions people ask before picking a club
What makes The Attic different from other Columbus comedy clubs?+
Size and proximity. The Attic is a 90-seat room on the second floor of the Osteria building in Olde Towne East, so every show is up close. National headliners play the same stage as the weekly free shows, and the calendar updates automatically with everything on sale.
How far ahead should I buy tickets?+
Early. The room holds 90 people, weekend headliners can sell out, and door tickets cost an additional $5 more than advance prices. Shows that are filling up are marked on the calendar and cards.
Which nights are free at The Attic?+
Twofer Tuesday is a free show with 2-for-1 well drinks, doors at 7:00 PM and show at 8:00 PM. The Wednesday open mic is free to watch, sign-ups at 6:30 PM and show at 7:00 PM. Attic After Dark, on select Saturdays, is a free late-night DJ party.
Where do I park and what about dinner?+
Free street parking surrounds the club at 892 Oak Street. Osteria is directly downstairs for dinner before the show, which is why date night at The Attic works in one address.
Does the calendar on this page stay current?+
Yes. It reads from the same live schedule as the ticket pages, refreshes throughout the day, and grays out each show after it plays. If it is on the calendar, it is real and on sale.
Still comparing? Start with a free night: Twofer Tuesday or the Wednesday open mic costs you nothing and shows you the room. The comedians coming to Columbus page has every headliner on sale now.
