A Few Stand Out Stand Ups in Denver in May & June

Nate Bargatze

Red Rocks Amphitheater promotes “There’s no better place to see the stars.” You can do just that (from all angles) on May 24th. When Nate Bargatze attempts (and succeeds) to make you laugh.

Bargatze is one in a small, but coveted group of comedians who keeps it clean. It’s not going to be a night of F-words and R-rated observations. It’s more like Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan. His “Hello World” show is now the most streamed comedy special on Amazon Prime.

Fan of Parks & Recreation?

If you know about the pit, waffles with whipped cream, and why Rob Lowe “literally” is one of the series’ standouts, then you know Jean-Raphio (and why he’s literally the worst!).

Ben Schwartz was spot on with his portrayal of the character you love and hate at the same time, and now you catch Ben Schwartz and Friends at the Paramount Theatre on June 17th. You’re responsible for your own waffle, though.

Free Comedy – You Pay for the Beer!

If you love comedy shows in Denver, you must be familiar with Rotating Tap!  Comedy with ever-changing talent and locations.

The shows might be free, but they don’t skimp on the laughs. Comics hitting the brewery stages have appeared on all of the late-night shows, Comedy Central, HBO… Next time you say there’s nothing to do, visit the Rotating Tap! site for inspiration.
