Which Cities and How Many Comedy Shows Does Dead-Frog Cover?

Updated

Dead-Frog lists live comedy shows by city, and its homepage shows a running count for each. Based on the site's "Comedy By City" section, the cities and show counts displayed are:

City Shows listed
New York 1318
Las Vegas 1289
Los Angeles 1063
Austin 695
Chicago 611
Washington DC 595
Atlanta 363
Nashville 355
San Francisco 295
Boston 246

What these numbers tell you

The counts are a quick signal of how much comedy activity Dead-Frog tracks in each market. New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles sit at the top with well over 1,000 shows each, which fits their status as major comedy hubs with nightly club and theater lineups. Mid-size markets like Austin, Chicago, and Washington DC land in the 500–700 range. Atlanta, Nashville, San Francisco, and Boston appear lower, in the 200–400 range.

If your city is on this list, you can expect a meaningful volume of listings to browse. If it isn't shown, the site's coverage for your area may be thinner or not surfaced on the homepage.

How to use this to find shows near you

  1. Go to the "Comedy By City" section or the search area at the top of the page.
  2. Enter your city or ZIP code.
  3. Set a distance radius — the site offers 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 miles.
  4. Review the results, which include specific dates, times, venues, and performers.

For example, the homepage's "Live Comedy Tonight!" section shows entries like Rachel Feinstein and others at Comedy Cellar @ Village Underground in New York, and Carrot Top at the Luxor in Las Vegas — each with a date, time, and venue.

Judging whether Dead-Frog covers your area

  • Your city is listed with a high count (New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles): strong coverage, likely many options on any given night.
  • Your city is listed with a moderate count (Austin, Chicago, Washington DC): solid coverage, especially around weekends and touring dates.
  • Your city is listed with a lower count (Atlanta, Nashville, San Francisco, Boston): coverage exists but may be sparser.
  • Your city isn't listed: try a nearby major city within your chosen distance radius, or search by ZIP code to see what falls inside your range.

The counts reflect what the site displays at a given time and can change as tours are added or dates pass, so treat them as a snapshot rather than a fixed total.
