What the hell is Don't Tell Comedy? Why all the secrets?
We hold stand-up comedy shows in over 90 cities across America with a secret line-up of performers at a secret location. We do this to keep the focus on providing our audiences with top-notch talent while preserving the magic of a truly unique and affordable experience.
What is Don’t Tell Comedy’s Mission Statement?
Good question! Here it is:
To become the most trusted brand in stand up comedy by both audiences and performers. To make stand up comedy more accessible, exciting, and affordable! To build community!
I purchased tickets, when will I receive the secret location?
The secret address will be emailed to you at 12 noon on the day of the show! If for some reason you need to know the address ahead of time, Contact us.
Do the comedians get paid?
Comedians are often undervalued and underappreciated. Don't Tell Comedy was started by, and in most cities is run by, comedians so it is extremely important to us that every single comedian is paid for performing on our shows.
CAN I BRING PETS?
While we love them, pets are not permitted at our shows (with the exception of registered service companions).
*In rare cases, these and/or other event policies may be subject to change to align with the needs of a particular venue or event circumstance. Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information.
How did Don't Tell Comedy Start?
Kyle KA, the creator of DTC, grew sick and tired of paying for a 2 drink minimum at comedy clubs. Kyle had so much fun at one of his friends backyard comedy shows that he started Don't Tell Comedy with the hopes of bringing top talent into fun, community settings where comedy lovers can laugh and hang out on a budget.
