The Read

Jerrod Carmichael has spent years testing how personal stand-up can become before it stops behaving like stand-up. The tension comes from watching him say something that seems too private for the stage, then finding the joke inside it without making the disclosure disappear. His best work makes discomfort part of the form. This is a single Zanies night billed simply as Jerrod Carmichael On Stage In Nashville.

The Venue

Zanies Comedy Night Club

2025 8th Ave S

On this block since 1983, and the only venue in the city that puts somebody on stage seven nights a week. A headliner takes the week, four or five shows Wednesday through Sunday.
