People who don’t know much about Colorado are usually surprised to learn that our snow-crazy state is also known for its thriving standup comedy scene. Comedians from all over the nation perform at destination venues like Comedy Works in Denver, as well as at smaller pop-up events hosted by the numerous bars and breweries all along the Front Range. Avanti Food and Beverage is one such venue, celebrating Boulder’s local comedy scene every week with the Flatiron Funnies Comedy Extravaganza 2022.
The Details
The Flatiron Funnies Comedy Extravaganza 2022 takes place on Avanti’s rooftop on Wednesday evenings from 8-10 pm. The show features ten-minute sets performed by five comics. Each week is hosted by Greg Studley, local comedian and entertainer. Laugh with some of Boulder’s best while enjoying specially prepared bites from Avanti’s rooftop eatery, New Yorkese, and beverages from Mythology Distillery and New Belgium Brewery. Doors to the event open at 7 pm and arriving early is recommended, as seating is limited. The 2022 Comedy Extravaganza season comes to an end on June 22nd, so don’t wait to catch the show!
The Venue
Avanti Food and Beverage is a collective space that is host to six different eateries. The modern-day food hall is located at 14th and Pearl Street in Boulder, where the old Cheesecake Factory used to be. Each restaurant brings its own unique flavors and spirit to the eclectic mix, which you can enjoy from 11 am to 11 pm every day of the week. The food collective celebrates global flavors with local ingredients in dishes like Taiwanese gua bao from Pig & Tiger and Venezuelan arepas from Quiero Arepas. Whether or not the Flatiron Funnies is your ultimate destination for the evening, the food selection is certainly worth the trip downtown. Additionally, Avanti offers live acoustic music and all-day happy hour on Sundays, rooftop dance parties on Thursdays, and trivia on Tuesdays.
