Why We Need You

Third Coast has always been more than just a comedy club — we're home to Nashville's comedy community. For nine years, we've been the place where local comedians find their voice, where artists connect with audiences, and where strangers become friends over shared laughs and good (and cheap) drinks.

​

Now, we’re asking that community to step up in a big way.
