Chattanooga’s most cherished and lauded comedy venue, The Comedy Catch, was founded in 1985 by comedians Ken Sons and Les McCurdy as Chattanooga’s first full-time comedy club and has completely transformed the city’s art and nightlife since then, evolving into a cultural staple as one of the longest-running entertainment venues in Chattanooga.
The venue is known for bringing in both nationally recognized talent and for embracing newer, emerging comedians. They are also known for shining a spotlight on local acts and for celebrating local talent.
The Comedy Catch is located inside the historic Choo Choo complex, with shows typically happening every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. There are also evening weekday shows, depending on the act booked. Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, there is an Open Mic Night for aspiring comedians.
All parking is paid at the venue, and there is a parking garage on the left when you enter the Choo Choo complex. There are also multiple parking lots on Station Street and several metered parking spots in locations nearby…
