About Comedy Barn Theater
Comedy Barn Theater stands out as one of Pigeon Forge's most entertaining family-friendly attractions, delivering a high-energy 2-hour variety show that consistently draws crowds year-round. The performance seamlessly blends clean comedy, magic tricks, juggling, ventriloquist acts, and trained animal performances that keep audiences of all ages engaged and laughing throughout.
The theater's signature element is heavy audience participation, with performers regularly inviting children and adults onto the stage to join the acts. Kids typically love becoming part of the show, though visitors who prefer to avoid the spotlight should consider seating toward the back of the theater.
Unlike dinner theaters such as Dolly's Stampede, Comedy Barn Theater operates as a show-only venue with limited concessions including slushies and snacks. Guests often prefer dining beforehand since food options remain limited and carry premium pricing.
Ticket prices range from $35-45 for adults and $15-25 for children, offering solid value for a 2-hour entertainment experience. The venue transforms completely during the holiday season, presenting a special Christmas version from mid-November through December featuring holiday music and themed performances.
Early arrival proves essential - plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before showtime as parking fills quickly and lines form for ticket pickup. The theater maintains consistent popularity throughout the year, with weekend shows typically selling out well in advance.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Interactive Audience Participation
Throughout the show, performers invite audience members (especially kids) on stage for comedy bits and magic tricks. It's honestly the highlight for most families - our kids still talk about their time on stage months later.
Trained Animal Acts
Small animal performances featuring dogs and other trained animals doing tricks and comedy routines. The animals are well-cared for and the acts are genuinely entertaining, not just cute gimmicks.
Professional Magic Shows
Real magicians performing close-up and stage magic throughout the evening. The tricks are impressive enough to fool adults while staying family-friendly and engaging for kids.
Live Country and Gospel Music
Musical performances woven throughout the comedy acts, featuring both country hits and gospel songs. The musicians are talented and often get the whole audience singing along.
Ventriloquist Performances
Professional ventriloquist acts that had us laughing harder than expected. The puppets interact with audience members and the comedy is clever enough for adults while keeping kids entertained.
Christmas Holiday Show
Special seasonal production from mid-November through December with completely different acts, Christmas music, holiday costumes, and themed comedy. It's worth seeing even if you've been to the regular show.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hours for Comedy Barn Theater?
Show times vary by season and day of the week, typically with evening performances. The box office is open 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM daily for ticket purchases and information. We recommend calling ahead to confirm show times for your specific date since they add extra shows during peak seasons.
How much does Comedy Barn Theater cost?
Adult tickets (ages 12+) cost around $35-45, while children (ages 3-11) are typically $15-25. Kids under 3 are often free as lap children. Prices vary by date and demand, and they offer combo deals with other Pigeon Forge dinner shows like Hatfield & McCoy Feud.
Do I need reservations for Comedy Barn Theater?
Yes, absolutely book tickets in advance, especially during summer, holidays, and the Christmas show season. Weekend shows and peak times sell out regularly, and advance booking often gets you better prices than walk-up tickets.
How long should I spend at Comedy Barn Theater?
The show itself runs about 2 hours with a 15-minute intermission. Plan 2.5-3 hours total including early arrival for parking and seating, plus time for concessions if you want snacks or photos with performers during intermission.
Is Comedy Barn Theater good for kids?
Yes, it's specifically designed as clean, family-friendly entertainment suitable for all ages. Kids especially love the audience participation segments where they might get called on stage. The humor is wholesome and the animal acts are always a hit with younger children.
Is there parking at Comedy Barn Theater?
Yes, there's on-site parking at the theater location on the Parkway. However, parking fills up quickly during busy seasons and weekends. Arrive 45 minutes early to secure a good spot and avoid the stress of hunting for parking.
Is this a dinner show like Dolly Parton's Stampede?
No, Comedy Barn is not a dinner show - this is one of the most common misconceptions. They only have concessions like snacks, drinks, and slushies available. We always eat dinner before or after the show at one of the nearby restaurants.
What's the difference between the regular show and Christmas show?
The Christmas show runs mid-November through December and features completely different content with holiday music, Christmas costumes, and themed acts. It's not just the regular show with Christmas decorations - it's an entirely separate production that many families attend annually.
