LAUGH
LOUDER
RICHMOND
Welcome to Richmond Funny Bone — the River City's home for stand-up. National headliners, killer locals, late-night mics, dinner, drinks and zero mercy for bad moods. This is where Richmond comes to laugh.
Institution of Funny
Brick walls, low lights, cold drinks and the best sound for punchlines in Virginia. Funny Bone Richmond blends big-city comedy with Southern hospitality.
NOT JUST A CLUB.
A LAUNCHPAD.
Richmond Funny Bone has hosted legends before they were legends — and tomorrow's Netflix specials today. From surprise drop-ins to album recordings, our intimate showroom puts you 20 feet from greatness.
What makes us different? A real comedy-first room: raked seating so every seat sees the sweat, pro lighting and sound tuned for timing, a kitchen that actually cares, and staff who love comedy as much as you do. Date night, birthday, bachelorette, team outing — laughter scales.
- ✅ Showroom 300 seats — no bad sightlines, no shouting over a bar
- ✅ Full dinner + cocktails — burgers, wings, flatbreads, local brews
- ✅ Open mic & new talent — Tuesdays where stars are born
- ✅ Private events & fundraisers — buyouts, holiday parties, corporate
Fresh faces, festival winners and TV favorites. Lineups rotate weekly — book early, weekends sell out.
