What would you wear to go watch a comedy show?

I used to be a comic, so I've naturally been to tons of shows.
Don't dress up. It's not the theater and know that ALL types go to comedy shows. Jeans, cute boots, a tee and a cardigan is perfect. Don't wear anything that sticks out and don't show a lot of cleavage if you're close to the front row. One of the comics (there's probably an opener or feature comic that you aren't familiar with on the tour) in the line up will probably make fun of you. Don't bring a flashy bag or wear heavy makeup that could be a comic's saving grace if their written material is bombing.
Also, if it is in a comedy CLUB and not a theater venue... don't wear anything that has to be dry cleaned. Comedy clubs are notoriously smoky and you will leave smelling absolutely rotten. I usually like to throw my clothes in the washer immediately after I get home.

Comedy clubs are pretty casual, but you'll always have a handful people who are dressed to the nines, and a handful who look like they just rolled out of bed. Maybe you should aim for something in between. If it were me, I'd wear nice jeans, a cute blouse or flattering sweater, heels, and a great bag!
Ok jeans, heels and I have a black leather coach bag (small one, not too big and not too tiny). I have few tops that are pretty dressy-casual. So I guess I can do that.
It's actually a stand-up comedy by that guy Russell Peters and the venue is a improv theater and smoking is not allowed inside. But I see what you guys are saying. Going slightly casual is probably better.

I totally agree. Jeans, tshirt or blouse then a nice heels and great bag to set it off. 
I agree with everyone else! Nice top and jeans. Casual wear.
But don't look like a bum! Russell made fun of this guy in the front row when I went to see him here for looking like a homeless guy. Then we were embarrassed because there is a chance he actually WAS a homeless guy. anyway...
You'll have fun!

I love Russell Peters!!!!
But can't go wrong with darker wash jeans, heels, and cute top. No need to break out the LBD unless your going to a very formal restaurant.
Most of the stand up comics look like bums. I've seen many in jeans and sweatshirts.
