History:

Hilarities Comedy Hall, which opened in 1986, has been credited with pioneering the revival of Cleveland’s Warehouse District. Hilarities was a downtown destination for Clevelanders for nearly twelve years, drawing nearly 130,000 visitors annually, a number which exceeded that of even the Cleveland Ballet.

Over the course of history, Hilarities succeeded in bringing attention not only to itself, but to its neighborhood and the city of Cleveland. Hilarities served up a host of now nationally prominent talent such as Tim Allen, Paul Reiser, Sinbad, Kevin Pollak, and Louie Anderson to name a few, as well as having spawned from its amateur ranks Clevelanders who have gone on to national prominence.

Hilarities has been credited with bringing the national spotlight to Cleveland more than once, including the promotion of two one-hour HBO specials staring Blake Clark and Rita Rudner, as well as nationally televised taping for Showtime’s “Comedy Club Network.” The Showtime event served as a national showcase for Cleveland talent.

Hilarities Comedy Hall, Cleveland’s Carnegie Hall of Comedy, was a proven entity in the revival and continuation of Cleveland’s live entertainment community, leaving its mark on the Historic Warehouse District. Hilarities, based on its nationwide reputation for providing live laughs and outstanding service, is now writing its newest chapter in the heart of Cleveland’s thriving Gateway Neighborhood, located on E. 4th Street.
