The largest city in Maryland, Baltimore has no shortage of activities for tourists and residents. The city is located just across the river from Washington, D.C. and all of the heritage and cultural importance that city offers. Of course, Baltimore offers plenty without having to leave its borders. If you're looking for a night on the town and a few laughs, several comedy clubs in Baltimore will fit the bill.
The Baltimore Comedy Factory is the premiere place to go for stand up in the Baltimore area. The club offers comedy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with a two drink minimum rule in place for all guests. These drinks do not have to be alcoholic in nature. Seating is done on a first come-first serve basis, so guests are encouraged to arrive early to ensure a good seat.
