As an ex-pat westerner living in Bangkok Thailand my wife and I are always trying our best to find interesting and different things to do in the concrete jungle that is Bangkok. I recently stumbled across the Khaosan Comedy Club on Face Book. It was the rave reviews that made us decide to go there. I messaged the Khaosan Comedy Club in FB Messenger to find out when they have comedians performing and received a reply back straight away advising us that it's on at 7.30pm every Thursday. We caught the cheap orange fast boat from Sathorn Pier for only 15 baht each. The house comedians include Jonathon Samson who hails from Boston Massachusetts but now lives in Bangkok. The headliner was a Canadian Comedian named Brian. Per the FB reviews there was no entry fee. At the conclusion of the show a hat is passed around for donations which it was a pleasure to contribute what our budget allowed. The comedians were very friendly, welcoming and approachable. My wife and I had a hearty belly laugh along with the whole audience. If you're on a budget jugs of beer can be bought at the bar for a reasonable 330 Thai baht. After the show we strolled along Khoasan Road amid the ambient orange and yellow street lamps and atmosphere. All in all a great night out. We'll be sure to return to Khaosan Comedy Club. Khaosan Comedy Club is easy to find. It's located off the main drag in Khoasan Road at 999 West Bar, "Susie Walking Street", Khaosan Road, Bangkok, Thailand 10200. Phone 089-469-3129.
A tonal shift from the hectic hubbub of Khao San, have a hearty laugh before your night out, or to end your tiring day sightseeing.
We turned up for the second half of the show on a whim and really enjoyed ourselves. Jonathan was a great host/MC. The acts we caught really engaged the room, and laughs ranged from loud unexpected ejaculations to guilty giggles. I certainly recommend this as a night's activity if you're around on a Thursday: though remember to save a little cash for the comics' tip bucket at the end of the show.
I've been to this 3 times and every time it's been so good! There's 2 really cool things about it:
1) lots of times really good comedians will just come and perform for fun when they're on vacation, so you'll see someone really good who you'd have to pay maybe $30 or $50 or more to see at home, but instead you're just paying practically nothing for some beer or food and maybe a 100-500 baht ($3-$12) optional donation if you like the show (which you will!)
2) it's not a huge commitment, so you can still do tons of things that night. get some food on khao san around 6, see the show from 7-8ish 9ish and then do a bunch more crazy stuff on khao san for the rest of the night. it's just part of a really fun night in bangkok.
highly recommended!
Went here on first night in bangkok and didn't really feel like clubbing as had smashed a bunch of xanax for the bus trip from cambodia, favourite comedian was from Malaysia which was suprising because had never seen any comics outside Aus .While the three last ones had a oldschool style of standup the first two had more modern style so good mix and enjoyed all the jokes the host also had alot of energy and got the crowd involved. All the comedians where from differnt places so all different refernces and not repetitive at all cery wworth it!
I spontaneously bought a ticket to this show and was very pleasantly surprised to enjoy the comedy from comedians around the world! The whole show is in English, which is great, and the audience was from all over as well. The host Jonathan was hilarious, and each of the comedians brought something different to the show. It was a nice change of pace from the clubbing scene of Khao San Road.
Nice small venue, cheap tickets with a drink at the door on arrival! Lots of good laughs, would definitely recommend as a starter to the night as was finished around 1030pm!
