Stand-Up Comedy at
Ponce City Market!

Atlanta already loves Ponce City Market and now there's another reason to visit PCM: live stand-up comedy 7 nights a week.

Find us at the corner of Glen Iris & North Ave, right behind Dancing Goats Coffee.

We will be opening Summer 2026.

Two Showrooms

We will have two stages: Main Squeeze (130 seats) for the bigger shows and Side Piece (44 seats) for the late-night, off-the-wall, try-something-new kind of shows. With two showrooms, we estimate 25 shows a week.

The Whiplash Patio

Show up early. Stay late. Or just come hang.
Our 2,500 sq ft patio is surrounded by greenery, loaded with comfy chairs, and basically begging you to hang out.

Side Piece

Our smaller showroom is called Side Piece and will seat about 44 people or about 200 dachshunds. The prior tenants left a stacked stone fireplace and wall, so we are keeping it to make this showroom feel more homey. This image was done with AI but it gives you an idea of what we are bringing you.

Side Piece will have comedy, up-close magic, late-night jazz, and more.
