Known for its diverse and supportive atmosphere, it showcases a mix of top headliners and rising stars from all backgrounds. The show features Queer, POC, Disabled, Female, Non-binary performers—and yes, even straight white men—creating a line-up that genuinely reflects comedy's full spectrum.

Reviews praise it as “a lovely supportive show” and “a defined space celebrating voices.” But don’t expect anything preachy—Hot Comedy focuses on being funny first, while making space for performers often sidelined in traditional comedy circles. The show offers a culturally and physically accessible environment for audiences who may feel excluded or targeted by mainstream, edgelord-style humor.

It's a night where jokes don’t come at the expense of identity, and where everyone, as long as they're funny, gets a chance to shine. Expect the next generation of comedy talent.

Hot Comedy is on every other Sunday at the Gilded Saloon, visit our website for changing lineups.
