Comedy club featuring national touring stand-up comics and local talent in a historic bank building unique to Downtown Batavia.

The Comedy Vault in Batavia is a lively, intimate comedy club located in a renovated historic bank at 18 E. Wilson Street. Known for its hip atmosphere and unique setting-the bar is inside the original bank vault-the club hosts a dynamic lineup of standup acts, from nationally recognized comedians to local favorites, offering an unforgettable night out just steps from the Fox River. Shows typically run about 90 minutes, with seating that keeps every guest close to the stage for an engaging experience. The club features a full bar with craft cocktails, beer, wine, and a menu of classic bar bites.

Regular events include open mic nights, special appearances, and themed shows, making it a go-to spot for comedy fans in the western suburbs.

The Comedy Vault is 18+ for open mic nights and 16+ for most shows (with under-21 guests accompanied by an adult), and strives to be accessible for all patrons. With its blend of top-tier comedy, unique venue, and welcoming vibe, The Comedy Vault stands out as Batavia’s premier destination for live entertainment and laughter.
