Jokers Wild Comedy Club
Jokers Wild has been providing laughs to Southern Connecticut since 2008. We bring some of the best and brightest names in comedy each and every week. Our comics appear on Letterman, Conan, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, Sirius/XM radio and tour all over the country. We take great pride in being the only authentic comedy club in Connecticut. We are a free standing comedy club that doesn't operate in a mall, casino or the back of a bar. Jokers Wild features a full bar, outdoor patio and an immaculate kitchen and we make it all happen on historic Wooster Street in New Haven.
