Singapore's comedy scene is smaller than a big city's, but it is active, and most weeks you can find a stand-up night near the centre. This guide covers six options that each show a 2026 schedule or booking route on their own pages: a dedicated club, a long-running weekly show, a travelling stand-up promoter, a headline comic's own series, an improv theatre and an international festival. Read each entry for the format it describes, then check the linked site for current dates before you go, because lineups, venues and ticket links change from week to week. Most nights are aimed at adult audiences, so look for age notes on the booking page.

1. The Lemon Stand Comedy Club

The Lemon Stand Comedy Club is a dedicated stand-up room near Bugis, and its own site presents it as a venue for comedy shows, food and drink, and private event bookings. The listings page shows a full week of recurring formats with October 2026 dates: Open Mic Comedy Tuesdays, The Kumar Show, Comedy Night Thursdays, Funny Friday and Stand Up Saturday, plus a live comedy panel special for Deepavali. The site says doors open at 7pm, shows start at 8pm and the room trades from Tuesday to Saturday. Tickets are sold through the links on each event listing. Because it programmes several nights a week, it is the easiest place on this list to plan a comedy evening at short notice. Check current dates.

2. Comedy Masala

Comedy Masala describes itself as a weekly stand-up show held on Tuesday evenings at HERO's bar on Circular Road, with the show starting at 8pm according to its site. Alongside the regular night, the page lists special editions with dated 2026 listings: an All Stars showcase, an anniversary show with a visiting American headliner and a December night featuring a local comic. Seat reservations for the weekly show are handled through a reservation form on the site, while the special shows link to ticketing pages. It also says slots exist for local performers, so aspiring comics should read the page. It suits anyone who wants a reliable midweek show in the Boat Quay area. Confirm each date before travelling.

3. East Coast Comedy

East Coast Comedy is a promoter that moves stand-up between several rooms rather than owning one, which makes its site the place to check where a show is happening. The site lists weekend nights at Crane in Joo Chiat, an open mic on Mondays under the name Jaz For Laughs at Blu Jaz Cafe, and a monthly Stand Up Sundays slot at Orh Gao Taproom in Bukit Timah. Its current listings include a 16 October 2026 night at Monk's Brew Club in Katong and a headline show by an American comic at Ola-Ola in Marina One on 17 October. Tickets go through the Eventbrite links on its page, and the site also mentions private and corporate bookings. Check venue details for each night.

4. Jinx Comedy

Jinx Comedy is the show brand of Singapore stand-up comic Jinx Yeo, and its website lists the business under a Paya Lebar office address while the shows themselves move between bars. Recent ticketing listings describe a format in which rising comics open and Jinx Yeo closes with a full-length set, with nights billed at bar venues in Havelock and Boat Quay during 2026. The site carries a Singapore shows section and a contact page for enquiries. At the time of checking, its own page said no events were listed, so treat the ticketing platform as the more current source for dates. It suits anyone who wants a single headliner format rather than a rotating open mic. Confirm age notes and venue on each listing.

5. Larks Improv Theatre

Larks Improv Theatre is the improvised side of the scene: instead of scripted stand-up routines, its performers invent scenes on the spot. Its site calls it a community of improv, with a regular show calendar that has included a comedy panel show about truths and lies, an improvised Bridgerton-style show and a recurring improv showcase on 2026 dates. It also runs taster sessions, beginner, short-form and long-form courses, and says it offers team coaching and team-building sessions. Tickets for shows are booked through Eventbrite from the site, and the page lists a phone and email for enquiries. It is a good fit if you would rather watch or try improv than sit through a stand-up set. Check the calendar for upcoming dates.

6. Just For Laughs Singapore

Just For Laughs Singapore is a festival rather than a club, so it suits readers who want big-name touring comedians in a theatre setting. Its official site lists the 2026 edition as running from 6 October to 1 December across Capitol Theatre, The Star Theatre, the Esplanade Theatre and The Theatre at Mediacorp. The lineup shown includes Trevor Noah, Atsuko Okatsuka, Dan and Phil, Morgan Jay, Jiaoying Summers, Dara O'Briain and Aaron Chen, as well as an All Star Gala hosted by Fadzri Rashid. The site says the festival is produced by the organisation behind the Montreal comedy festival and directs buyers to the official agent for each show, with booking links to SISTIC. Check the schedule for remaining dates.

How to choose

  • Decide whether you want a regular club night or a one-off event. A dedicated room with several shows a week, like the ones described on this page, gives you more dates to choose from, while a festival or touring headliner needs earlier planning and a specific ticket for a single evening.
  • Read the format on the booking page. Open mics usually put new performers on for short sets, so quality varies, while showcase and headliner nights are curated. Improv is invented on the spot rather than scripted. Pick the format that matches the evening you have in mind.
  • Check age and content notes before buying. Many comedy nights are aimed at adult audiences and the language can be strong, so look for a stated age limit or mature-audience note on the listing, and confirm it if you plan to bring a younger guest.
  • Confirm the date and venue on the organiser's own page or ticket link. Several of the promoters here move between bars, theatres and cafes, and listings on third-party sites can be out of date, so rely on the booking page for the night you intend to attend.
  • Think about the setting and how you will get there. Bar-based shows may require you to buy drinks or food, seating can be tight, and theatre shows have assigned seats. Check the venue's access notes, arrive early for unreserved rooms, and ask the organiser if you have specific access needs.
