Visit the National Comedy Center ― where a
visit is worth a thousand laughs.
Interactive • Immersive • Hilarious
Hailed as the “Cooperstown of Comedy,” the National Comedy Center is ultimate destination for comedy lovers of all ages. Named the “Best New Museum” in the country by USA Today, one of the “World’s Greatest Places” by TIME magazine and a “Top 25 Family Weekend Getaway” by U.S. News & World Report, this is an immersive playground that brings comedy to life with interactive exhibits showcasing its greatest legends and funniest moments.
Step into classic TV and movie scenes; explore the Comedy Continuum video wall; challenge a friend to a Laugh Battle; take the stage for Comedy Karaoke, and more. Your entire museum experience is personalized to match your sense of humor.
Plus, don’t miss the Lucy Desi Museum, just three blocks away, celebrating the remarkable legacies of Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and I Love Lucy.
Located in Jamestown, NY, Lucille Ball’s hometown near scenic Chautauqua Lake ― just 2 ½ hours from Pittsburgh and only 40 minutes from Erie, PA ― this is the perfect day trip or weekend getaway filled with fun and laughter.
