Riverside Theatre, led by Executive Producer/CEO Jon R. Moses, announces new show times for its popular live stand-up series, The Comedy Zone. Beginning June 5 & 6, performances will now take place at 7pm on Fridays and at 6pm and 8:30pm on Saturdays on the Waxlax Stage.

The Comedy Zone has quickly become one of the Treasure Coast’s favorite nightlife destinations, featuring nationally touring comedians, cabaret-style seating, full food and beverage service, and an energetic atmosphere perfect for date nights, celebrations, and evenings out with friends.

The updated schedule allows audiences additional flexibility by making it easier to pair indoor dining in the Waxlax with each Comedy Zone performance. The Loop Kitchen and Bar will serve meals beginning one hour prior to each show.

Scheduled Comedians for June are:
