Improv Comedy Club

What Improv Comedy Club does

Funny Bone Comedy Club (operating under the user-provided name "Improv Comedy Club") is a single-location stand-up comedy venue at 9101 International Drive in Orlando, Florida. It operates as part of a multi-location regional comedy club brand and runs nightly live comedy programming featuring both established headliners (e.g., Bill Bellamy, Tom Arnold, DeRay Davis, AJ Wilkerson, John Morgan) and emerging talent, including a recurring free all-ages Open Mic Night. The venue is 21+ for most shows and serves tourists and local adults seeking live entertainment on Orlando's International Drive corridor.

The core product is the live comedy show, with ticket prices ranging from free open mic events to roughly $90 for premium-tier headliners, with most regular shows priced between $20 and $70. Auxiliary offerings include a full food and beverage menu served during performances, group events and private corporate bookings handled through a dedicated sales channel, and digital/physical gift cards processed via the Givex platform. Online ticketing is fulfilled through the Etix platform, while the venue also sells tickets at the door.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and transaction-based: revenue is generated from per-ticket sales, per-cover food and beverage spend, and quote-based corporate/private event contracts. The venue markets through its own website, Facebook, Instagram, and Bandsintown listings, and accepts group bookings on a multi-year contract basis for corporate clients. There are no disclosed AI capabilities, proprietary technology stack, app, API, or disclosed revenue figures in the available data.
