Thick Skin
Comedy at its Rawest! Now 18+ with a valid ID! Hard R-rating. Thick Skin may not be for everybody, but everyone should see it! Thick Skin is notoriously the wildest stand-up show in Colorado! Each month Comedians Mike Stanley (Amazon Prime) and Matt Cobos (High Plains Comedy Fest) host a lineup of comedian all stars from across the map, juxtaposed with a lottery of new comedians where anyone can try their hand at stand-up by signing up. Winners from each category will be crowned “best set of the night”. First timers, last timers… good comedy will be rewarded, bad comedy will be ridiculed. Thick Skin is a rapid fire gauntlet of comedians testing their skills to see if they have what it takes to walk away with a cash prize. Voted “A must see show!" ~ Westword. Thick Skin is not one you’ll want to miss!

New Talent Night
New Talent Nights are 18+! Careers are born on Comedy Works’ legendary local showcase, NEW TALENT NIGHT! Denver’s comedy scene is red hot, with Denver comics touring all over the country, hosting specials on Netflix and Comedy Central, and even creating their own network series. Those comics got their start on New Talent Night, which is truly the backbone of the flourishing Denver Comedy scene. Each New Talent Night features a mix of amateur Denver comics – including Comedy Works debuts – and Colorado’s own nationally touring professional comics. Comedy Works is one of the top clubs in the country and New Talent Night is notorious for surprise visits from top stars. You never know who might pop in for an unannounced set! Past guests include Mike Birbiglia, Josh Blue, Ron White, and even Dave Chappelle! Comedy Works has launched the careers of many professional comedians since 1981. New Talent comics are hungry to be part of the legendary Comedy Works tradition. See them first at New Talent Night at Comedy Works Downtown! Do you think you have what it takes to perform at the world famous Comedy Works? Visit our New Talent Website to sign up and for more information about our New Talent program.
