The Comedy Zone celebrates summer nights

VERO BEACH — The Comedy Zone, Riverside Theatre’s monthly showcase for professional comics, announces an expanded offering of showcases all summer long.

While the season of blockbuster musicals and contemporary plays may be over, The Comedy Zone will continue its slate of professional, stand-up comedians with more comedy and more treats.

The Treasure Coast’s longest-running, continuous venue for professional stand-up comedians performs TWICE a month.

Plus, we’re pleased to announce our collaboration with Hale Groves River Market and Kilwin’s for a complete evening at Riverside.

Instead of meeting friends at a local restaurant before the show, simply arrive early to any of the Comedy Zone performances this summer, and you will be able to enjoy wonderful grilled specialties from the local Hale Groves River Market, like chicken or sirloin satay, and delicious sweet treats like Chocolate Dipped Nutter Butters and Twinkies from Kilwin’s.

One of the largest comedy club networks in America, The Comedy Zone showcases some of the funniest professional comedians in the country.

Last year, The Comedy Zone presented over 200 comics in over 75 clubs setting the standard for quality stand-up entertainment.

And, if you’re looking for a relaxing place to listen to live music free of charge, come and hear guitarist Lenny Batista as he plays acoustic guitar one hour prior to each Comedy Zone performance (6:30-7:30 p.m. and 8:30-9:30 p.m.)

Each Comedy Zone weekend will have a different musical performer playing on Riverside Theatre’s outside patio.
