Opened in 1983, the Comedy Stop is one of the premiere spots in the country to catch up-and-coming comedians. Stars such as Lewis Black, Tim Allen and Rosie O'Donnell got their start here, encouraged by owner and renowned scout Bob Kephart. Shows are year round. This club did so well in Atlantic City that a second location was opened in Las Vegas.

Located in the Borgata Hotel and Casino, the Borgata Comedy Club draws from a similar talent pool as the Comedy Stop. Offering performances year round by famous and up-and-coming artists, the Comedy Club is part of a trio of entertainment venues that make the Borgata Hotel home. Superstars, the likes of Jay Leno and John Stewart, generally perform in the Event Center or the Music Box, while less world famous talents take the stage at the more intimate Comedy Club.
