Local Partners

A community-centered coffee shop in Kettering that supports local artists and hosts live comedy, workshops, and creative events. Proud home of GCC’s Second Saturday showcases and a long-time sponsor of Comedy Night at the Gallery. 

A contemporary art space at Front Street dedicated to showcasing local and regional artists in an environment that values experimentation, expression, and creative dialogue. As the home of Comedy Night at the Gallery, the space embodies Gem City Comedy’s belief that comedy belongs alongside other art forms — not apart from them.

Front Street is one of Dayton’s most important creative hubs, home to working artists, galleries, studios, and community-driven events. As a cornerstone of the city’s arts ecosystem, Front Street provides space for artists of all disciplines to create, collaborate, and connect — including comedy. 

The Barrel House is a longtime supporter of live comedy and local music in Dayton, known for its warm, intimate, living-room-style atmosphere that makes performers and audiences feel at home. As the home of the Good Laffs comedy show, The Barrel House has helped foster a welcoming, community-driven space where stand-up can connect, experiment, and grow.
