Vinnie & Tommy Present: Adult Christmas Strikes Back

Rochester's Home for All Things Comedy

Comedy @ The Carlson is Western New York’s premier destination for live stand-up comedy. Located at 50 Carlson Road in Rochester’s historic Stromberg-Carlson Building, right next to Radio Social, we bring nationally touring headliners, rising stars, and local favorites to the stage every week. Our 325-seat Kevin Meaney Room hosts some of the biggest names in comedy, while our intimate Rickles Room showcases emerging talent, specialty shows, and established favorites. Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or catching a comedian you’ve followed for years, there’s a show for you at The Carlson. Before or after the show, enjoy a drink in our beautifully renovated atrium bar. Once part of the Stromberg-Carlson factory, the space celebrates Rochester’s audio manufacturing history through distinctive details, including the vintage microphone featured in our logo and bar mural. Planning a celebration of your own? Step next door and discover The Carlson Signature Room, our versatile event space for weddings, private parties, and corporate gatherings. With in-house catering and bar service, it’s the perfect place to bring people together. Founded by comedy industry veteran Mark Ippolito and a team passionate about live entertainment, Comedy @ The Carlson was built around a simple goal: give great comedy a great home.
