The Punchline

The Punchline is a comedy club located at Hilderbrand Drive Northeast in Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 25 miles from the city's international airport. More than 3,000 comedians have performed to over a million customers at the club since it opened in 1982. Some very famous names have performed here over the years including Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld to name but a few.

This is the longest running and continuously operated comedy club in the city and shows generally start at 8pm Thursdays through to Sundays although there are exceptions to this. As well as being entertained by the comedians in the non smoking environment, audience members can also dine here. The menu features a selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, nachos, chicken wings and other appetizers.

The club has tables for customers to sit at as well as a bar area and all customers must be 21 years or older with proof of ID. While visiting the area people will also find many shops and restaurants including Perimeter Mall at Ashford Dunwoody Road and Phipps Plaza on Peachtree Road. Live music can be found just a short distance from The Punchline at Chastain Park Amphitheater on Stella Drive Northwest.
