The Comedy Joint Bangkok
For two years, a small room on Khao San Road put on far too much comedy. Here are the shows, the posters and the odd ideas that survived.
The Comedy Joint opened on Khao San Road in September 2023. The surviving calendar shows what the room became. It contains 1,308 listings with 129 show names and 167 posters, from open mics and touring headliners to Comedy Striptease and something called Special Late Show for Stoners Every Wednesday 10pm.
Nobody needed that much comedy. We did it anyway.
The Comedy Joint's Khaosan room has closed. The Comedy Joint now works without a permanent venue. Khaosan Comedy Club is a separate venue with its own venue page.

A room that kept saying yes
Best Show On Khaosan! was on the calendar by November 2023.Local Legends followed in March 2024 and became the workhorse. The Tuesday open mic arrived in June. By 2025, the schedule was packed with crowd work, resident comics, Thai comedy, stoner shows and late shows.
On a given night, a touring comic might drop in, a new act might discover that five minutes is much longer than expected, or a backpacker in the front row might accidentally become the show. The room was messy, busy and alive.
