The Comedy Arena

The Big Dumb Clown Show is a wildly unpredictable night of physical comedy, chaos, and heart led by Dallas’s own Clown Mother, Stephanie Bell. Featuring a rotating cast of fearless clowns, the show celebrates big swings, stupid choices, beautiful failures, and the magic that happens when performers stop trying to be funny and start being real. Expect absurd games, audience interaction, ridiculous characters, and moments that are somehow both deeply silly and strangely profound.

THE COMEDY ARENA'S Main Stage is located on the second floor, on the northwest corner of Hwy 5 and Virginia St. The main entrance is on the first floor, on Virginia St. There is an elevator at the rear of the building as well as a staircase both inside and outside of the building.
ENTERING &amp; SEATING The House typically opens 30 minutes before showtime. Seats are only guaranteed until showtime. Ticket price may be more expensive at the door (if any remain).
All seating is based on size of party and when guests arrive at the show. We have cabaret style seating, so small tables with chairs around them. Most of our tables seat 4 people. If your group is smaller you may be sitting with another group, if it is larger you will have multiple tables next to each other. To ensure a whole table to your group, you need to buy 4 tickets.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL
No refunds or exchanges offered after the show. Please make sure you purchase tickets for the correct date and time. You may be able to have your tickets moved to a future event if you notify the box office 24 hours before the start of the show to which you have tickets.
There is a 2 Item (Food or Beverage) Minimum Per Person. This means each person must purchase 2 items off the menu. This can be an alcoholic, or non-alcoholic drink, or any of our food items. Once Seated; Food and Beverage service ends approx. 15 minutes before the show ends.
