The return of The Comedy Zone to Riverside Theatre in April brings back one of the Treasure Coast’s favorite nightlife attractions, offering weekends filled with laughter, live entertainment, and an energetic social atmosphere.

Beginning April 24 and 25, The Comedy Zone resumes performances on the Waxlax Stage, featuring professional stand-up comedians in two nightly shows at 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm.

Known for showcasing nationally touring and regional comedic talent, The Comedy Zone has become a staple of Riverside Theatre’s entertainment lineup. Audiences can expect evenings hosted by an emcee, appearances by two featured comedians, and the intimate cabaret-style setting that has made the venue a favorite for date nights, celebrations, and group outings.

The April opening weekend features comedians Peter Fogle and Sheena Reagan, launching another season of laughter that will continue on select Fridays and Saturdays through September. With a dining menu curated by Executive Chef Sue Torres, full bar, free parking, and no drink minimum, The Comedy Zone offers a relaxed and welcoming comedy club experience in Vero Beach.

**Sheena Reagan was named Florida’s Funniest Female, Sheena is a regular at the Jake Owen Flamingo Comedy show every year.**

Scheduled comedians for April are:

**Peter Fogel is no stranger to late night comedy and theatre audiences as he has worked on over 22 TV shows and numerous stages in his 30+ year career.**
