Wondering what to wear to a comedy show? You’re in the right place as I will get you all covered.
I don’t know about you but I LOVE having an excuse to get dressed up and yes, that includes the comedy show night from a grand theatre to a stand-up show in a club.
Dress decently not only as a gesture to show you respect the performer, but a nice look can also always carry you differently and enjoy the show even more.
That said, below I’ve gathered 27 comedy show outfit ideas for casual to classy venues, summer to winter so you don’t have to search the whole internet for an hour.
If you’re ready to get inspired, keep on reading!
1. What to wear to a comedy show in summer
Alright, let’s talk about the casual afternoon comedy show in the club first.
What do you actually wear?
Basically, a simple top and jeans look are totally doable as there is no specific dressing attire.
But if you want to make a little more effort, swap out your slouchy tee with a one-shoulder front knot graphic tee or off-shoulder blouse just to show you care about the jokes and also your style.
2. What to wear to a comedy show at a theater? Outerwear is KEY.
If you are going to the comedy show in the stadium or any other place that is air-conditioned 24/7, please bring an outerwear piece with you even for the summer days.
Trust me, that’s nothing but plain torture to watch the show in an unbearably cold room for straight two hours.
So yes ladies, bring a poncho, scarf, or blazer with you.
If you feel like playing it up a little bit, a form-fitting pantsuit will instantly put you on the right track.
3. Don’t go too sexy for a comedy show
Speaking of the comedy show attire of the crowd, it’s a fair mix of everything.
You can see someone get all decked out while someone stays chill with a tee-shirt dress.
I guess the bottom line here is – that you can wear sexy but just don’t do TOO sexy.
Well, this lady definitely knows the assignment!
Sassy yet classy!
After all, a comedy show is not the right occasion to dress like a party girl, unless you want to be called out by the performer.
4. Don’t go too dressy for a comedy show
Similar to the rule above, don’t go too dressy as if you are attending a Broadway show at Christmas.
Obviously, the floor-length dress with lace embroidery is just too over the top.
If you want to dress classy and fancy, reaching for a luxe champagne pink satin cocktail dress is more than enough to draw adoring glances.
One more tip, try to be consistent with the people you are with.
If your date is wearing a denim dungaree dress, you better dress down a bit as well.
5. What to wear to a comedy show in the fall
What to wear to a comedy show in the fall? Well, a button-down and pencil skirt is a popular choice all the time.
Of course, I am not talking about the formal black-and-white workwear look.
It’s time to let your fashion prowess shine with a faux leather brown pencil skirt that screams “I’ve got a style and I KNOW it”.
This effortlessly stylish monotone look is *everything*.
6. What to wear to a comedy show in a casual chic way?
Another styling tip for cold days is layering.
To put your funky printed sheath dress in the spotlight, wear a white button-down underneath just to look sleek and put together.
Or else, pair up your all-over polka dot babydoll dress with black tights and nude ballet flats as a happy balance.
You know, fun prints and hues never harm the comedy show! It’s about having fun and feeling fabulous!

7. What to wear to a comedy show in a Vegas casino
The show comes in all kinds of forms and if you are going to a comedy show in a Vegas casino or a burlesque show in the theatre, it’s totally okay to add a bit of zing to the look.
If you want to keep it subtle, wearing a black biker jacket with your all-over sequin dress is always a good idea.
Or else, pair up the slouchy turtleneck neck with a black glitter wrap skirt is lovely as well.
BY THE WAY…

9. What to wear to a comedy show as a plus-size bae
What to wear to a comedy show as a plus-size?
Well, basically everything!
But if you want some failproof outfit inspo, below are my two handpicks!
Seems no one is aware of that but the jumpsuit is super flattering on plus-size figures.
Featuring the cinching high waist, slimming big V-neck, and flared pants that make the figure look more elongated, I’m sure you will wear this way more than you expected!
This jumpsuit above is such a rare high quality I’ve come across. (Up to XX-Large)
More of a dress person? No problem.
This wrap dress is here to seal the deal.
This dress is everything and more – an off-shoulder cut, a ruched design that can cover the belly, and an asymmetrical hem that makes our legs look visually longer.

This is so random… BUT
hey ladies, why not quickly do an affirmation and feel instantly better?
This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!
Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.
Ready? Here we go.
I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.
Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.
Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.
I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.
It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.
I AM perfect imperfection.
What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).
Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen
Alright, now keep on reading!
10. Dress thoughtfully and respectfully for the live comedy show
To ensure you and the rest of the audience in the room have a good time, dress thoughtfully.
That said, put the hat down to ensure you aren’t blocking the views.
Leave your leggings and pajama set for the other days. Swap the slouchy shirt for a form-fitting one. TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT.
It’s not that difficult.
Trust me, just a little change and the performer will feel more appreciated.
The outfits of the crowds can change the vibes – never underestimate that.

11. Comfy shoes to wear for the stand-up comedy show
Some of the comedy shows have specific attire reminders like no flip flops so always ask and double-check with them when in doubt.
But let’s be real, flip-flops are just way too casual so I don’t encourage you to wear them anyways.
Speaking of the comfy casual shoe choices for the standing comedy show, slipping is a pair of flat sandals, sneakers, or cute flats that will serve you right.
Or else, go classy with the loafers or driving moccasins.
If that’s a grand theatre comedy show, showcase your high heels.
As a 27-year-old, I will always choose the block high heels instead of the stiletto – comfy is key now!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
So ladies, there you go the 27 outfits if you wonder what to wear to a comedy show as a woman.
It’s not that tricky, isn’t it? So now please have fun creating your one-of-a-kind look for the night!
