- Comedy Court - A Hilarious Courtroom-Style Comedy Show
- Comedy Court – A Hilarious Courtroom-Style Comedy Show in Columbus, OhioStep into the courtroom where the laughs are real and the stakes are stupid. Comedy Court is a live stand-up comedy debate show hosted at The Attic Comedy Club in Columbus, OH. Eight comedians go head-to-head in outrageous debates over ridiculous topics — and you, the audience, decide who wins.Here’s how it works:• 8 comedians are paired up for 1-on-1 debates.• Each round features a dumb, hilarious topic (like “Is cereal a soup?” or “Do ugly babies deserve love?”).• Comics get 2 minutes each to argue their side.• A panel of comedy judges gives feedback after each matchup.• The audience votes to choose the winner of each round.At the end of the night, the 4 round winners return for a lightning round, where they get 1 minute to argue a final mystery topic. The audience crowns the funniest “lawyer” of the night — who wins a $100 cash prize.Featuring crowd work, hot takes, and total nonsense, Comedy Court is part roast battle, part game show, part courtroom chaos. Whether you're into stand-up comedy, debate shows, or just need a reason to laugh at something stupid — this is the show for you.Tickets MOVING FAST!

- Doctor Joel Good Therapy Esquire
- "Doctor Joel Good Therapy Esquire” the attic’s own in-house “therapist” seeing his “patients” Featuring: Ty Moore, Alex Maluchnik, Caitlin Menosky, Tyson Colson, and Eli Disabato. Dr JG Esquire is practicing his own way on the stage and doesn’t know what a HIPAA violation is or if it would even apply to him. Is this what healthcare looks like in 2025? Who knows, we don’t have health insurance, but this is going to be a great time. DISCLAIMER: “Doctor” Joel Goode is not a licensed therapist, medical professional, esquire because I don’t know what that means but it sounds smart, or even a particularly good listener. Any advice dispensed during this show is for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken seriously unless it accidentally helps. Side effects may include laughter, oversharing, emotional breakthroughs followed by immediate regret, and mild trust issues. If symptoms persist, consult a real therapist—or at least someone with a clipboard. The Attic Comedy Club assumes no responsibility for any psychological whiplash caused by jokes hitting too close to home.

- Clean Up Your Act
- Clean Up Your Act is a clean(ish) comedy show where handpicked local and regional “dirty” comics have to do their best to keep things clean.This show is NOT a squeaky clean comedy show - performers will be doing adult content but will be avoiding unnecessary vulgarities, downright nastiness, and the use of profanities.Each comic gets three strikes; if they fail the audience yells out “Clean Up Your Act!”, and they’re kicked off the stage. Come on out for this night full of fun and laughter.
