UARK Bowl Comedy Club Thursday Stand-Up Open Mic Night
Spring Thursdays 8pm, Sign-up @ 7pm Comedy Season
Get ready for an exciting new season of stand-up comedy at the UARK Bowl on Dickson Street! The funniest working comics in America will take the stage every week throughout the season on Friday nights for two showtimes at 8pm and 10:30pm. We're constantly adding to the lineup, so check back often to confirm dates and times.
Headlining the Spring Season is comic legend Doug Stanhope who will take the UARK Bowl stage Tuesday, March 26.
Stanhope's brutally honest rants encompass caustic social commentary and outlandish first-person narratives. Fueled by equal amounts of anger, outrage and alcohol, Stanhope rails against western civilization's slide into apathy and stupidity, always on the edge of implosion yet fully in control and never afraid to risk upsetting his audiences.
This is one comedy sensation that has a lot of people talking. Ricky Gervais recently Tweeted, "Doug Stanhope might be the most important stand-up working today." If that's not a weighty enough endorsement, throw in Sarah Silverman's plea to "please give Doug Stanhope a television show" and Louis CK's personal casting of Stanhope in his hit show "Louie" - and you end up with a lot of profile-raising love by a lot of well known comedians.
Every Thursday is Stand-Up Open Mic Night, hosted by local comedians of the Comedy Collective Comedians NWA, where you can see the talent Northwest Arkansas has to offer and even get on stage and tell a joke yourself! Once a month, Phunbags Comedy Improv takes the stage with their wacky, hilarious brand of in-the-moment, on-the-spot improvisational comedy. Our shows are 18-and-up, with a full bar for the 21-and-up-ers. So bring a date...because, after all, laughter IS the best aphrodisiac!
