Where Great Comedy Meets Even Better Bites

This week we’re back where the neon glow meets the plywood stage—yes, the theater is still under repair, but our crew and headliner Julie Báez are ready to turn this sticky-floored dive into Miami’s hottest comedy sanctuary. No grand proscenium? No problem. Here’s how we’ll make every laugh count.

Learn how we turn one-time ticket-buyers into raving fans—and build a tight-knit comedy community in the heart of South Beach.

A milestone retrospective that charts key wins, lessons learned, and our vision for the next chapter of Comedy on Collins.

Discover how we cultivate lasting relationships with performers—so they become advocates, repeat headliners, and co-creators in our South Beach showcase.

Pull back the curtain on everything it takes to get a show from idea to stage—permits, load-in schedules, tech-rider setup, and late-night tear-downs.

A deep dive into the mix of digital ads, guerrilla street art, influencer partnerships, and email campaigns that fill seats every Friday.

A behind-the-scenes look at our talent discovery process—from dive-bar open mics in Austin to improv showcases in Chicago—and how we find the next big names to bring to South Beach.
