The Loony Bin Comedy Club is celebrating almost 20 years in Tulsa, continuing its focus on live stand-up and bringing nationally touring comedians and emerging local performers to the same stage
Tulsa, OK, Sept 18, 2026 — The Loony Bin Comedy Club is proud to continue its run of nearly 20 years as Oklahoma’s longest-running comedy club, bringing established touring comedians, emerging local talent and a variety of live comedy events to Tulsa audiences.
The club’s programming is built around a simple idea: experienced comedians and performers who are still finding their voice can share the same stage. Touring headliners bring established acts to the venue, while open mic nights and local showcases give Tulsa comedians a place to test material and perform before a live audience.
“You can watch a comic on your phone all you want, but it’s not the same as being in the room when everyone loses it at once,” said Mason, a Loony Bin Comedy Club representative. “That’s not something you can fake. It’s why people keep coming back.”
That live connection remains an important part of the venue’s appeal. Comedy depends on timing, audience reaction and the energy in the room, making each performance different from watching a recorded special or other entertainment from home. For anyone weighing options at a Tulsa comedy club, that unpredictability is often the deciding factor.
Beyond regular stand-up shows, The Loony Bin’s calendar includes improv nights, Tulsa comedy competitions and private bookings. The venue hosts events for groups and celebrations, including office parties and birthdays, while keeping live comedy as its central focus.
For performers, the stage also provides a place to gain experience. A comedian’s early appearances may take place during an open mic before eventually leading to opportunities to perform alongside more established acts. Some performers who began by developing their material at the local venue have returned after building careers beyond the Tulsa scene.
“My first set here, I had maybe six people watching and I was shaking the whole time,” said a returning Loony Bin performer. “Now I open for guys I used to watch on television, and I still get to come back and do a set on that same stage.”
The combination of touring acts, local performers and different event formats gives The Loony Bin a schedule that serves both regular comedy fans and people looking for things to do in Tulsa. Upcoming shows give audiences a chance to see performers at different stages of their careers in an established live venue.
The Loony Bin continues to welcome comedians and audiences to its Tulsa location, with upcoming performances and events listed on the club’s calendar. Visitors can check the schedule for information about upcoming shows and performers at tulsa.loonybincomedy.com.
