Comedy in St. Augustine

St. Augustine does comedy at three very different sizes. The smallest is Third Space Improv, a studio on Malaga Street at the western edge of downtown with improv, stand-up and variety most Friday and Saturday nights. Out on St. Augustine Beach, Café Eleven is a restaurant a block from the sand that turns into a listening room for music and stand-up on show nights. The biggest is the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Anastasia Island, an open air venue built in 1965 for the city's 400th anniversary, where the occasional touring comic plays under the sky.

The Amp shares an operator with the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall up A1A. A county nonprofit runs both, and the concert hall reopened in 2025 after a renovation.

Show Night in the Old City

Downtown parking can turn into a hunt on a busy weekend, so the free lot in front of Third Space is a real gift. Café Eleven is a restaurant first, which means dinner and the show can share a table. For the Amphitheatre, think about the weather. It is an outdoor venue, so dress for the night and check the venue page for what you can bring in.

Farther Afield

Jacksonville is less than an hour north on I-95. The city's main comedy club is in Southside and Mandarin, and A1A runs up the coast to the breweries and the improv club at the Beaches. For everything on the calendar this week, see this week.
