About this Event

The WDET comedy showcase What’s So Funny About Detroit? is back!

The What's So Funny? showcase brings a new set of six of the city’s funniest stand-up comedians to the stage on Thursday, August 29 to the iconic Old Miami bar & backyard in the Cass Corridor / Midtown neighborhood of Detroit.

WDET’s Ryan Patrick Hooper (host of ) will serve as your host and curator of comedy for the evening as he introduces you to 6 of Detroit's funniest stand-up comedians.

This event is a benefit for 101.9 WDET-FM Detroit Public Radio. The cost of your tickets directly support WDET and will also go towards compensating the comedians, who are critical members of the city’s independent comedy scene and larger performing arts community.

Tickets are $25 per person. Tickets can be purchased in advance online right here. Walk-up ticket sales at the venue are available *if the event is not sold out*

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Show starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. The show will be approximately two hours long.

This event is BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR and/or BLANKET. Think of it as a comedy picnic. A food truck will be on site selling food (Mizz Ruth’s Grill). Outside food and drink is not permitted.

This show will be recorded live for a later airing on 101.9 WDET-FM Detroit Public Radio.

This event will be held in the gorgeous backyard of the Old Miami. Please dress appropriately for the weather. In the event of rain or severe weather, this event will be canceled and your tickets will be refunded.

This is an uncensored comedy event. The opinions and jokes of the comedians are completely their own and are not a reflection on WDET’s editorial standards.
