A Journey from Pop-Up to Permanent

Rich Kiamco created The Laugh Tour Comedy Club in 2010 as a traveling pop-up, debuting at Art House Productions in Jersey City with performances by Jessica Kirson and Chris Distefano. Over the next decade, the show toured New Jersey, the Catskills, and Eastern Pennsylvania, featuring future stars like Michael Che, Nate Bargatze, Yannis Pappas, Sam Morril, Yamaneika Saunders, Emma Willmann, Usama Siddiquee, Jacqueline Novak, Corinne Fisher, and Dan Soder.

In 2018, The Laugh Tour became a co-producer of the Jersey City Comedy Festival, showcasing comedians such as Gilbert Gottfried, Marina Franklin, and Rex Navarrete. This festival continues to be a platform for rising talent. After a series of Zoom and outdoor shows during the pandemic, and the loss of his partner to Covid, Kiamco reopened The Laugh Tour Comedy Club inside Dorrian’s Jersey City in November 2021.

Starting with just a handful of audience members during the Omicron era, the club has grown into a thriving 55-seat venue. It has sold over 17,000 tickets and hosted 125 sold-out shows, attracting rising NYC comedians and international talent. The club has earned over 500 five-star Google reviews and was featured on ABC Localish. In 2023, it was recipient of the Jersey City Arts & Culture Trust Fund.

Now offering five shows weekly, The Laugh Tour Comedy Club curates its lineup based on live performance merit, eschewing industry connections or viral fame. This approach has established it as an essential stop for comedians and a destination for fans seeking an intimate, high-energy comedy experience.
