First time going to the Caravan, my stepdaughter and her Husband gave me tickets for my Birthday so my Husband and I went. They had 4 comedians that night performing their shows to a Packed House. Parking was a Nightmare, but the last two Comedians were worth the trip. Drink prices were Excessively high, paid over $26 for 2 drinks. But both drinks were delicious and cold. With my hip and leg issues, I wasnt thrilled to see that the entrance had stairs, but yet the exit was on Ground level and alot closer to my car. But Overall, it was alot of fun and I would likely go back.

This was my boyfriend and Is first time in Louisville, as well as my very first time at a comedy club. The staff were very nice and consistent! I did get my ID checked a couple times throughout the night (Im sure because I look young) but that didnt take away from the amazing time we had and lots of laughter. Whether I was heavily intoxicated or genuinely found all acts hilarious, or most likely a mix of both (LOL)- I enjoyed all four of the comedians we got to see a lot. As with any comedy club theres a chance you could be a part of the joke so be ready to make some fun of yourself in the process. It was a great time and fun way to start off our Saturday night in Louisville. If youre looking for something to do in the city during the rona, I highly recommend going.

Great cocktail selection. Oldie but Goodie is a solid choice. And, the Titos Pool Side doesnt disappoint. Friendly staff. Excellent comedy.

Omg was absolutely hilarious worth every penny!

Came on a Monday for a special event.The Don Krekel Orchestra performed.Spectacular performance.

Always a good time! High quality comedians performing and very reasonably priced drinks and munchies.

Great vibe, friendly wait staff, covid conscient.

I always try to support comedians when I can. These are people who took a chance on a career with very little promise just to bring more laughter into other peoples lives. Comedy reminds us not to take life overly seriously. And I think we all need occasional reminders.

The Caravan Comedy Club is a staple here in Louisville. Ive seen quite a few sets, and have always had a good time. The drinks are a little pricey, but the admission is a fair rate. Some shows are more crowded than others. The staff seems a bit stern, but I have never had an issue. Its a great place for a night out and a couple of laughs.

We went here on a trip to Louisville. The food was cheap (took pics of menu), but we didnt have any. We did have drinks, and they were priced OK.The ticket prices were great. We bough 930 tix and they let us switch to 730 show. The comedian was awesome.Overall, great value and a cool area of Louisville!Please like if you find this helpful. Thanks!

Great drinks!! Try the strawberry mango margarita its amazing. Host was hilarious and one of the two acts was funny. All in all worth checking out!

Always a good time. My favorite comic is there every time I go.Its me.

I saw Stewart Huff perform last night. He was fabulous! Loved the history lesson, as well as all of the academic hillbillies!

This is a comedy club. The entertainment is great even on the open mic nights. If you are looking for a good time, please check this out. If you need a laugh or cheered up, this will help also. Life is to short to not laugh. I recommend people check this place out. To my knowledge THE CARAVAN COMEDY CLUB has a history of talented people appearing here. I believe Caravan Comedy club is a legend & they have clubs around the country. ENJOY LIFE & LAUGH IT UP!

Always a fun night out! This place is one of Louisvilles best kept secrets! It is a great alternative to a movie for a date night. A dinner and show at the Caravan make for a great night!

This was my first comedy club experience and I loved it.Dale Jones was the comedian and I know that can make or break the evening but he was great.The MC was okay, but when you have to constantly check your phone for tips or timing, your set is not flowing properly dude.Got to sit right up next to the stage. So no issues there.The waitress was friendly but rarely came to the table. I got one drink and wouldve gotten more if she had. It was difficult to get waters or anything. She was very quick to want to close out the tab and I finally let her so I wouldnt have to track someone down later.I will be back though. Fun evening, great experience, eat before you go!

The comedians were very entertaining and the drinks were good. There seemed to be some disorganization where we bought the tickets. The person who was behind the counter was extremely rude and confrontational. When it became very clear that she was the one mistaken and acting like a fool, she just made faces instead of apologizing. Aside from that person the event was great.

Love this place! Ive only been four times, but each time the staff has been friendly and the comedians hilarious.Last week I had the privilege of seeing Etta May, one of the funniest human beings alive.Try their mixed drinks. Theyre a little pricey, but worth it!

Always a great time

I laughed really hard. The perfect place to unwind and have a great time with friends!

Live comedy is something you should never miss. If you like to laugh, plan an evening here. They have plenty of ways to save on tickets and their one item minimum is reasonable...they have free refills on their soda. Most of the food is good for bar food (except the grand nachos which were disgusting) Just remember to tip the server a little extra...18% is already on the bill so you dont have to think about while youre enjoying the show but remember...youve been there somewhere between 90 minutes and 2 hours...I always tip more than the 18%

Wonderful place for comedy

Mileage varies:A bit dark, and a bit run down but a great place to see some very funny people. Amateurs and professionals appear to both be welcome as performers, and while there are some cringe worthy performances- many others are quite good.

Great environment and good staff. I highly recommend this comedy club.

Small cozy club, every seat has a great view. Bar in the first room before the main room, but only a few seats. Make sure you order all food and drinks before the show starts!

Love the Comedy environment.This place is a local gem !I would of rated 4-5 )️ But the food has to improve !I understand it’s a comedy bar but the food used to be better and I feel small food changes would entice customers to spend more on food or snacks !But overall a neat place !!

On a whim with one night in Louisville, we saw there was a comedy show. Called ahead to be sure there were still tickets, there were, and made it down just in time for the show to start. The staff encouraged us to take the two seats in front, we were hesitant, but glad we did in the end! There were a few local comics, who were great, but Spencer James really took the show! We laughed until we cried. Service was great, the crowd was fantastic.

My girlfriend and I had a great time here over the weekend. The comedians were hilarious, especially that guy with the mullet. Would love to see him again!

Love this club, I came in last week and was WAY too drunk and I want to apologize for that. I ended up kicking myself out, they probably would have anyway if I stayed much longer. I plan on visiting this place in the future and just wanted to say sorry for my drunkness/attitude. Great comedy club!

Its a great opportunity for a laugh with some comics. Some first timers and some polished but it always makes for a good night.

My son performed here. Its a great place for individuals on the comedy scene.

Had a blast! Great show with Pauly and the staff was friendly helpful generally awesome. Decent food and timely service for the kinds of crowds they have there

Nice, intimate atmosphere, not a bad seat in the house. The entertainment the evening we went was very good, service was good. Only complaint was the pre-show experience. My husband and I are from the Detroit area and frequent comedy clubs in both the Detroit area and Windsor, Canada. We are used to arriving early and getting a few drinks ahead of time. We arrived about 6:30, the advertised door-open time but had to stand outside for about 10 minutes. When we were let in, we then had to stand in the lobby for another 10-15 minutes. Someone finally took pity on us and let us sit at a table in the show room, she was then scolded by another employee for letting us in. We promised to be “good.” I read my kindle, my husband checked email on his phone for another 10-15 minutes before they were ready to start serving customers. Very uninviting experience...don’t advertise an opening time if you are not willing to abide by it.

Fun place to watch a show. I will say adding gratuity automatically is a bit tacky and presumptuous that a customer cannot figure out 20 percent gratuity. But Im sure there unfortunately is a reason for it. Still, fun place to go see comedy.

Commedians so entertaining and funny, compares with the best entertainment venues in the country

Show was packed/sold out and staff was friendly. We didnt think of it ahead of time but I have a hearing disability and where we was sitting the speaker was turned off so I had to cup my hand over my ears lol and the waitress told us next time to tell them and they will arrange to have us sit closer. I thought that was nice.

Everything was great thanks def come back!

Got alot of good laughs met some good people Rob Hood great host

I have not laughed that hard in a long time. No different than comedy clubs in Chicago, New York or other bigs.

This is the best place to go in Louisville for fun and entertainment. The staff is friendly to everybody, I like how the honor first responders and the military.The new owners are remodeling the place. Looks so much better. Like the changes cant want to see what will be remodeled next.

Great atmosphere, loved amateur night!

2nd time going and had a blast!

Been here three times so far and it always exceeds expectations. Dont skip the drinks! Theyre a little pricey, but delicious and unique. Also highly recommend the nachos.

The entertainment was good. Joe Duece should have been the main comic. He was hilarious. Only reason for only 3stars is I had one drink for me, one for my wife. Near the end of the show my bill is brought out which is $23. I put down $30 and never see my waitress again. Pretty sure there is an 18 % gratuity added to the bill, so if i want to add to that i think that should be my option not her assuming the change is hers. A$7.00 tip on top of 18% is pretty nice. I may have to quit my job and waitress at comedy caravan if that is acceptable practice.

Had an awesome time and enjoyed the comics and the crowd. Ill definitely be back and try some comedy myself at the open mic nights. I hadnt laughed like that in years. The service was prompt the drinks were great and reasonably priced Im definitely recommending it to my friends!

So fun! Affordable and just a good night out.

My wife and I love spending time together at The Caravan in Louisville! The stand up acts are always top notch and the entire staff is friendly and helpful. It is so much better than a dinner and movie date because we are able to talk with each other in between sets and we spend an hour after trying to remember all our favorite bits. It is a great way to connect after a busy work week. I highly recommend going out to catch some local and national comedy acts. We all need more laughter in our life.

The food and service wasnt all that great but the show was pretty awesome. Definitely would eat before you go

I go for the Don Krekel Orchestra big band once a month... Sounds amazing and lifts the spirits every time

Comedy show was great- food not worth it. Mixed drinks over priced. Stick w beer enjoy the show. Great venue.

Went to see our favorite... ETTA MAY! What a show except for the opener...cant even remember his name. He needs to work on his act before getting on stage. The club was clean and well organized, with a new twist... a two-item minimum. Not bad considering everyone (especially in our group) always wants a beverage and munchies. The prices were very reasonable, with the exception of having to pay an extra $3 per ticket to reserve your seat. The old Comedy Caravan didnt offer food and under new ownership/management The Laughing Derby does. Nice touch! Etta May was our first date so she holds a special place in our hearts... never miss her show when she is in Kentucky! A true comedian. Very funny!

The show was very fun and the service was attentive. Made for a nice evening out with friends.

I love this place!!! They treat the talent and the customers like gold. If your military get over here! I am former military and let me tell you they goout of their way for the Men and Women of the U.S. military. Keep up the great work Caravan!!

Great people and staff.... laughter its Is all 100 % and one of my favorite jobs I ever had....new owners really turned the place around I miss it

LOLOLOLOL!!! great comedy club right here in Louisville.. I wish i could come here every night youre open... laughed my butt off.

We saw a comedian named Shang at this venue. It was a great evening we enjoyed this comedy club.

1st time seeing AtaMae I really enjoyed her show!!

Definitely worth checking out

What a great place! Funny comedians, great drink specials. Tremendous night out!

Best comedienne.. kojack

Tom Mabe was fantastic!

Update: I am not sure what you mean about last night as I was there well over a week ago from your reply, I guess that means this is a normal occurrence then. While I do agree the comic that night did ok at first with the heckler, at our show the comic walked off stage and didnt come back to finish the set and the show ended early... Not a great experience for the wife and I as it was our anniversary and it kind of spoiled it.I had a good time, the crowd was really small which hurt the show a bit. There was a heckler in the crowd and none of the staff did anything about it. Not sure if I will go back if they cant keep the show on track

Went to the open mike night. Even the first timers were very funny.

I have been going to the club for years. The comedians can be great to ok. Alot depends on the audience. Thursday-saturday shows are typically a local Host, a local or traveling feature and then the headliner. Sometimes a special guest squeezed in. On Weds it is open Mike night so you get the person just starting out to the seasoned comedian trying new material. Wed is usually just $5 and can have as many as 10+ comedians. A very fun night to watch new comedians and experienced mixed in.Overall the club is a fun time. Ladies get in free on Thursdays and there is a Meetup that gets free tickets every once in awhile for Thursdays. They give discounts to first responders and military. Check their site for details.Dont let the people talking about drink prices scare you. I drink beer and a bottle is like $5 and a mixed drink is like $7. Yes there are fancy drinks that look like a resort and they cost more. They have food but it is not a full kitchen. We order nachos if we are munching and cheesecake if we need sweets. They do require a 2 item minimum but they can be water bottle, drink or food. They also add an 18% tip to bill.

Hadnt been to the Comedy Caravan in a while and we had a great time! Mark Curry was fantastic. Very quick, very funny. Everyone should go and support the comedians and the Club so it stays around!Great value for a ton of laughs!

The Caravan is a welcome alternative to the typical dinner-and-drinks pattern of going out. The comedians are worthwhile and the wait staff attentive. Its a little tricky to find the entrance hidden around the side of Mid City Mall, and its odd that even with an online ticket you still have to check in at some tucked away window before you are allowed entrance into the venue. The food was middle-school cafeteria quality and worth skipping in favor of drinks.

Enjoyed shows here. Service a lil slow 4 drinks so order at bar before u sit down.

Louisvilles premier comedy club!! Saw Jim Florentine there. He was very funny and his warm up acts were great as well. The wait staff was very friendly and always available to get you a drink. Once the kitchen is done, this place will be even better.

The Caravan has become a Louisville landmark. They made some improvements to the interior, and the shows are always good. Love to support local comedy.

Good time at open mic night in The middle of the week

Love seats we had and love Tom Mabe

Wow Ive heard it all. This fight was started by 2 morons . The entire audience heard you guys threatening to cut someone and everything. Be an adult and just keep it real. Stop being so mad because you were asked to leave and just couldnt go without making an even bigger scene. Grow up! You claim to be in the military however you sure dont act like someone whose served our country. Ive never in my life heard so many lies!

Great show. Friendly staff. Love how they better arranged the showroom compared to the old Comedy Caravan (now The Laughing Derby). I got chips and queso and they were surprisingly delicious. Overall a great experience! Great job guys, keep at it!

Made me laugh a bit. A lot of comedians either dished on themselves or the crowd. Didnt appreciate disparaging humor. Not saying they didnt give somewhat of a laugh to people tho

I’m very happy I decided to give the place another chance. Last weekend there was a disruption, there were obnoxious customers ruining the show for many if not most people. Loud and disrespectful. And when asked to leave they still would not, caused a scene out side of the show. I’m greatful the staff handled it well, and I had such a great time both times.I’m still confused as to why the exact person who caused the issue is having their friends who never attended, to leave one star just to drop the rating... but nothing to say as to why so that the business could actually have mature feedback on what to work on. Karma...

I really like what the new owners have done to the place. Heywood Banks packed the house Friday and delivered a hilarious show. Our server checked in at just the right times. Highly recommend reserving your seats online, as we were able to get right in to our upfront seats 15 minutes before the start of the show. Both comedians are funny and clean.

Great people and staff.... laughter its Is all 100 % and one of my favorite jobs I ever had....new owners really turned the place around I miss it

Great venue with a very friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Great place to hear big band music on the third Monday of the month!!!

Had a good time, comics were great. The drinks were ridiculously overpriced.

Been having a great time since its switched to the Laughing Derby. Felt the comedy is better all around and its nice to see some national acts that are on television. Favorite shows have been Hal Sparks who made the crowd feel welcome. That show had IMO the best emcee and felt like a well put together show. Also the Jimmy Shubert show with great comedians all around! Of course theres been some lackluster shows too but with comedy either you like them or you dont but overall its been great.

Nice date night laughs and booze

We had a lot of fun! Great opening night. The last comedian wasnt as good as the ones before him, but we still had fun. The only issue we had was the wait to take our seats. The lobby got really crowded, but once we got our seats it was an enjoyable experience! Highly recommend it!

Johnny Watson is hilarious. Get a babysitter and catch his show.

Never disappointed. Every time Ive gone Ive had a great time. My husband and I love going here for a cheap night out. Sometimes tickets are as low as $10 a person. Can you really beat that?

Good time as an alternative to dinner and movies. Hubby and I had a nice evening here watching the Straight Outta Comedy crew and then walking down Bardstown Rd afterward.

Cool place drinks are kinda expensive so bring money.

I have been to a few shows at Laughing Derby. They normally have about 4 acts to entertain you. You will be sitting close to the comics (which I enjoy). The sound system is loud enough to actually understand the people. Laughing Derby does frequently offer free tickets if you watch their email

Great little comedy club

Went to Laughing Derby to see Mat Alano-Martin and Tim Meadows. Both of them brought their A-game and were funny, funny, funny! Oh my gosh, what a great show they put on! Wait staff was courteous and on the spot without being annoying or disruptive. Club is nicely laid out; all the seats are good seats. Pricing for tickets and food/drinks was very reasonable. Had a great evening with family and friends!

Had a great night! Seems like the new owners have big things in store!1/25/143/1/14 Great show from beginning to end! Kristen Key Rocks!!

The comedians were great, and so was the service.

I love this place! Friendly staff, hilarious headliners, fantastic open mics, 5 stars all around!

Nice venue. Drinks are a little pricey.

Had a great time! The old Comedy Caravan did not serve food, so we went out first. To our surprise, they now serve food! Prices are good, affordable night out.

Very cool and funny place.

Oh my stars! I just laughed and laughed. The beverages were ok. The comedians really were quite funny. This is a great place for a date.

Enjoyed the Y&R hunks Josh Morrow and Steve Burton. They seemed to be having a good time, and I certainly did. The bartender makes very good Bloody Marys.

I went to see Greg Morton. This club was super inviting and the atmosphere walking down into the basement really set the tone for an intimate hilarious experience

Really fun place
