Jukebox Comedy Club

I always have a fun time at Jukebox Comedy club! Dan has been hosting top comics for years and the shows never disappoint! I've seen a lot of funny people here and I hope to enjoy many more shows in the years to come. It's a small, hole in the wall venue that has seen the likes of Richard Pryor as well as many other top name comedians. Love the Jukebox!

Review Date: August 22nd, 2013 Unlike the comedy club, there will be no jokes in this blog post. Just kidding. What kind of post would this be if I didn’t incorporate my light-hearted humor? A rather dull one, that is. On this humor-filled night, my friends invited me to a show in which they had an extra ticket. After visiting the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Columbus, OH, I knew I couldn’t turn it down. The comedian for the night was Brett Erickson. He was doing some farewell shows to Peoria before he moved out to Vegas or California to try his luck out there. His routine was very casual and hilarious. He wasn’t setting up long gags or made up stories. The jokes he told were unique and sometimes he made fun of Central Illinois, which got the crowd laughing. My friends and I left the club with a big smile on our face and our sides hurting from laughing so much. Since this one show, I’ve gone back to another show with another friend and had just as much fun. As for refreshments and food, I do know they serve alcohol as I got beer the first time I came here. I believe they have a small food menu but don’t quote me on that. It has been a few years since I’ve been here. The parking lot is small and on a crowded night, I could see it causing some issues if you don’t get there early. But I do believe there is additional parking at the strip club next door. Yes, there is (or was, I don’t know if it is still there) a strip club next to this club. If you are lucky, you may catch the comedian outside the club after the show is over. We got to meet Brett Erickson after my first visit there. You can also meet some of the local comedians who show up to do open stage. One of my friends does open stage and loves it. If you are a bit strapped for cash, the comedy club also offers Birthday Special shows where you can get in free if its your birthday month. You’ll have to check the website to see which shows are free and if they offer any additional discounts. Peoria can be a drab. Central Illinois can be a bore. If you need a night out and a stitch in your side from laughing so much, swing by the Jukebox to scratch that itch. Joke time! Where does a king keep his armies?…. In his sleevies! What is brown and sticky?…. A stick! An Oedipus complex is when you say one thing and mean a mother. I was giving away some dead batteries…. free of charge. My new years resolution was to read more…. so I enabled subtitles on my tv. Thank you everyone, I will be here all weekend.

My husband and I went here on September 2nd and watched some amazingly talented comedians. We had such a wonderful time. We will definitely come back to the Jukebox when we visit Peoria in the future. I want to shout out an amazing worker, Charles and his wife for driving us back to our airb&b when an uber driver decided that they didn't want to pick us up.Everyone that worked at the club was super gracious and kind. Thank you all for making our getaway so special.

I found this place while driving through the city. I saw that the parking lot was pretty full so I pulled in. When looking up open mics in Peoria this place would come up. I was looking for music open mics but Comedy open mic night sounded fun. I didn't think they were open on Thursdays, but I lucked up. Everyone was really nice! I had a yummy milkshake drink called a strawberry shortcake. I was afraid of getting clowned sitting by the stage haha. Also, got popcorn to snack on. I recommend the place for sure! Seems like a good place to test your jokes, with no harsh judgement. Def something different to do, and it's always good to laugh.
