With some of the best and funniest comedians in the country coming to the valley, it is no wonder that many of the regular concert halls and comedy clubs that house these acts start selling out during the summer.
Here, we’ll cover the top 5 (in no particular order) of the funniest comedians coming to Phoenix, AZ events in 2019. Note that these are only 5 of the acts, so if you have a serious need to scratch your funny bone, check out some of these venues to learn more.
Comerica Theater
August 3rd
“Weird Al” Yankovic is one of the legends of comedy, music, and parody.

Hear some of his biggest hits old and new with an orchestral backing at the Comerica Theater on August 3rd.
Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy
August 1st and 2nd
