Dallas has a growing comedy community but just the simple act of going to a comedy club can be a huge hassle. If you’re going to see just one comedian, there is no guarantee that the person you are paying your hard earned money to see will actually be funny. All it takes is one rude heckler to completely derail a show and throw the comedian off their game. So why not increase your chances of maximizing your entertainment dollar by paying one price to see five, headlining comedians in one show? Enter the Dallas Comedy Jam at the Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie. The show will bring five top names of comedy talent to the theater on Saturday, March 21st including Richard Pryor Award winner and “Queens of Comedy” headliner Sommore, radio host and “Everybody Hates Chris” co-star Earthquake, “BET Comic View” and “Def Jam” regular Arnez J, “Apollo Live” host Tony Rock and “Tom Joyner Morning Show” regular Huggy Lowdown. The Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie is located at 1001 Performance Place in Grand Prairie. Tickets are between $39 and $71 depending on available seating.
