Comedy @ the Carlson occupies the old Stromberg-Carlson building on Rochester's east side, the factory where the microphones Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley sang into were once made. Mark Ippolito — a twenty-year veteran of the comedy business who founded The Comedy Club in Webster, NY — opened the room with a group of fellow comedy enthusiasts, pairing a 325-seat showroom with a beautifully renovated atrium bar whose design nods to the building's microphone-making past. National headliners play the main room most weekends, while The Rickles Room, the club's intimate 100-seat second stage, runs its own bill in parallel. Bookings on the current calendar include Damon Wayans Jr., David Cross, Beth Stelling, Tim Meadows, Kevin Nealon, Bobcat Goldthwait, Chris Distefano, Joe List, The Sklar Brothers and Aries Spears. Shows are 21 and over unless specifically stated otherwise, and the club arranges ASL interpreters, CART captioning and live mobile captioning on request.
