The people behind Ink Factory Brewing spent years telling stories about North Florida art and culture in the pages of Void Magazine. Now they tell them with beer. The brewery on Shetter Avenue in Jacksonville Beach brews its beer on site and pours it in a relaxed taproom, and on Saturday nights it hands the room to comedians.
Saturday Stand-Up
The show is River City Comedy, which bills it as the premier comedy show in Jax Beach. It runs on Saturdays, often with an early and a late show, and each one lasts about an hour. That length makes it an easy fit before dinner or after it. The lineup rotates between local comics and touring acts, with new faces and fresh material from week to week, so a regular can come back often without hearing the same set.
A brewery show has a different rhythm from a club. The room is a working taproom first, and the comics play to that. It suits a date night or a group that wants something to do besides another round.
Before You Go
- The show is 21 and over.
- Parking is free.
- Arrive a little early to get a beer before the first comic is up.
- Times shift from week to week, so check your ticket for the night's rules.
Tickets
River City Comedy sells its own tickets online, show by show. SeatGeek does not carry these shows, so there is no ticket button on this page. The same producers book Voo Swar in Atlantic Beach and Burlock and Barrel in Brooklyn.
More at the Beach
Green Room Brewing on Third Street hosts its own stand-up nights, and the improv club First Coast Comedy is up Mayport Road. Down A1A, the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall books bigger touring names. See all of the Beaches.
