If you’re looking for something fresh and fun to do in Cincinnati, skip the usual movie night and come laugh with us. Bombs Away! Comedy has packed the rest of 2025 with a mix of national headliners, local favorites, and offbeat showcases that make our little corner of Northside one of the city’s best spots for live entertainment.
Tucked inside The Comet—a legendary bar known for its burritos, tequila, and late-night neighborhood energy—Bombs Away! Comedy delivers a real comedy-club atmosphere without the pretension. It’s where comics love to perform and audiences feel right at home. Whether you’re planning a date, catching up with friends, or just need a laugh to end the week, we’ve got a show waiting for you.
Here’s what’s happening through the end of the year:
Jake Mattera’s awkward charm and quick wit make him instantly likable. His stories about everyday life hit that sweet spot between goofy and sincere. Two shows this night mean you can grab an early seat before dinner or make it a late-night outing.
This show series takes place every first and third Tuesday at Mellotone Beer Project in Over-the-Rhine. It’s a relaxed, brewery-style comedy night featuring some of the region’s funniest up-and-comers. Think local beer, low lights, and good company—the kind of midweek pick-me-up everyone needs.
Our Loveland series continues with hometown favorite Gabe Kea, whose storytelling has a clever, easygoing rhythm that fits perfectly for a Friday night. If you’re outside the city or looking to explore something new, The Landing Event Center offers the perfect mix of comfort and energy.
Known from The Bob & Tom Show, Willie Griswold brings smart, self-aware comedy that never misses. His relatable humor and smooth delivery make him one of the season’s most anticipated acts.
Jessica’s comedy walks the line between deeply honest and completely unhinged—in the best way. Her stories about life, love, and chaos are raw, hilarious, and totally memorable. A perfect kickoff to the December run.
Jamie’s blend of quick one-liners and sharp social observations has earned him a loyal following across the country. Two shows, one big night of laughter.
A mid-week surprise—Costaki brings decades of experience and a knack for political and family humor that keeps audiences on their toes. Ideal for those who want to dodge weekend crowds and still catch a top-tier comic.
One of the biggest events of the year. The Sklar Brothers—known for their quick, tag-team style and sports-meets-life banter—take over Rhinegeist for a night that’s part stand-up, part spectacle. Great beer, iconic venue, and top-tier comedy: that’s a Cincinnati night done right.
Adrienne’s comedy is fearless—dark, dry, and always sharp. You might’ve seen her on Netflix’s The Degenerates or opening for Dave Chappelle. On stage at The Comet, she’s electric.
Mark brings his understated, storytelling style to Loveland for another laid-back Friday show. His jokes are tight, clever, and sneakily heartfelt—perfect for a cozy December night out.
Cincinnati’s own Lee Kimbrell closes out the mainstage year with a bang. His Southern charm and fast-talking humor make him a crowd favorite every time he’s home. It’s the perfect pre-holiday weekend plan before the chaos sets in.
Fresh off Saturday Night Live, Luke Null brings music, absurdity, and wild energy to the stage. He’s part stand-up, part rock concert, all fun. Two nights, so you’ve got options—either way, it’s a great excuse to shake off the post-holiday haze with a few drinks and a lot of laughs.
Why Bombs Away! Comedy Is a Cincinnati Favorite
Each show feels different here. One week you’re in the back of The Comet surrounded by locals, the next you’re watching a national headliner under the lights at Rhinegeist or laughing along at a Loveland event center. The mix of venues and styles keeps things interesting, and the crowds are always up for a good time.
There’s no dress code, no pressure—just good food, great drinks, and the best comedians from around the country. For couples, it’s an easy date night idea that isn’t dinner-and-a-movie. For groups, it’s a relaxed, affordable night out where the punchlines keep coming.
You can find the full schedule and grab tickets anytime at bombsawaycomedy.com/shows. Come early for tacos and tequila, stay late for the laughs, and see why Bombs Away! Comedy has quietly become one of Cincinnati’s favorite places to unwind.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, the rest of 2025 is stacked with talent—and we can’t wait to share it with you.
