Live comedy lovers: step out away from the couch and turn off Comedy Central Presents.  Many of the comedians you see on those specials make their money touring, and when they hit Atlanta, they stop by The Punchline in Sandy Springs.

Sign up for The Punchline’s e-newsletter and get access to a weekly discount: half priced tickets, usually on Thursdays but often on Sundays as well.  I’ve caught great comedians like Ben Bailey (of Cash Cab fame), Jo Koy (of Chelsea Lately), and the super-awesome hypnotist Ricky Kalmon.

Tickets usually run around $20 apiece, so at half price, you’ve got a great date night for $20 (plus food and drinks, if you’re fancy like that).  Unlike catching comedians in NY or LA, The Punchline doesn’t require a two-drink minimum, although drinks are often necessary for you to find some of the opening acts funny.

If you have balls of steel, pair your discounted tickets with this half-priced gift certificate from halfoffdepot.com.  You’ve got a great night on your hands for very little moolah.

Go on, get laughing – see you at The Punchline!
