How Long Is a Corey Holcomb Show?

A Corey Holcomb show lasts about 90 to 120 minutes in total, with a host and a feature comic before him and Corey himself on stage for roughly an hour to an hour and a quarter. Doors usually open about one hour before the listed show time, so a typical night runs two to three hours from arrival to exit. No club publishes an official runtime, so these lengths are estimates; the show times below come from venue and ticket listings.

Compare listings for every date with our Corey Holcomb tickets page. This guide separates what is confirmed (show times and venue door patterns) from what is estimated (set lengths and end times), so you can plan dinner, parking, and the ride home.

The most useful thing to know is that most nights have two shows, an early show and a late show, and the late show can start well after 9 p.m.

Who Is Corey Holcomb?

Corey Holcomb is a stand-up comedian known for blunt relationship comedy, and he has four comedy specials: "The Problem Is You," "Comedy Central Presents: Corey Holcomb," "Your Way Ain't Working," and "The Book of Coreythians." He also hosts The Corey Holcomb 5150 Show, a podcast that began on satellite radio before moving to YouTube.

Club listings say he has performed on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show," won several comedy competitions, and appeared at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. One club listing also notes that he tours doing stand-up and his own comedy and R&B songs, which is one reason his sets can run a little differently from city to city.

What Are the Upcoming Show Times?

The next dates on the tour are at Funny Bone in Toledo (Perrysburg, Ohio), Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne, and the Chicago Improv in Schaumburg, according to ticket listings. Most nights have an early and a late show.

These times come from AXS and other ticket sites. A fan-run tour site lists the Toledo late show at 9:45 PM, so if you see a different time, rely on your ticket and the venue's own page.

How Is a Club Show Structured?

Most Corey Holcomb dates follow the standard comedy-club format: a local host warms up the room, a featured comic performs a middle set, and Corey closes the night with the headline set. That structure is why the total runtime is longer than his own set.

•        Host: a short opening segment, often a local comic or radio personality.

•        Feature: a middle set that builds the room toward the headliner.

•        Headliner: Corey's extended set, which is the part you bought the ticket for.

Which comics open depends on the club, so the host and feature are usually not announced far in advance. Check the venue's page the week of the show for any named opener.

How Long Does Corey Perform?

Corey's own set most likely runs about an hour to an hour and a quarter, which is my estimate based on the sources I found. One tour site says he is on stage for 60 to 75 minutes, while another says his headline set runs 75 to 90 minutes with 15 to 25 minutes for an opener.

The sources are unofficial and slightly different, so I use a headline set of about 60 to 90 minutes and a total show of about 90 to 120 minutes as the planning range.

What Time Do Doors Open?

Doors typically open about one hour before the listed show time. The Louisville Comedy Club lists 6:00 PM doors for a 7:00 PM show and 9:00 PM doors for a 9:45 PM show, and a Chicago Improv listing shows doors at 5:00 PM for the Friday, November 6 show at 7:00 PM.

Door times vary by club, so check your venue. Because seating at many clubs is assigned by when you bought your ticket and tables are often shared, arriving at doors gives you more time to settle in and place your food and drink order before the show.

Why Are There Two Shows a Night?

Clubs run two shows on Fridays and Saturdays to fit more fans into a small room. The early show usually starts around 6:30 to 7:00 PM, and the late show around 9:15 to 9:45 PM, with the room cleared in between.

Sundays are usually one earlier show, such as the 6:00 PM show in Fort Wayne or the 3:00 PM Sunday show at the Chicago Improv. Shorter weekend-day shows are a good fit if you prefer an early night.

What Time Will the Show End?

The shows will end around the times below, which are estimates based on the start times and a total show of 90 to 120 minutes. Clubs do not publish end times.

The late shows are the latest finish, so plan transportation accordingly, especially if you are driving a distance after drinks.

Full Night Timeline at a Glance

Here is how a typical 7:00 p.m. show is likely to unfold, with each row labeled as confirmed, a venue pattern, or an estimate:

Use the listed start time as your firm anchor and Corey's start as a range, since the host and feature set the pace.

Does the Late Show Run Longer?

Not necessarily, but late shows can feel longer because of the later clock and a looser crowd. A tour site notes that his set length varies by venue, show time, and audience energy, and that some venues add a late-show curfew.

If you want a tighter evening, the early show is the safer choice. If you want a livelier room, the late show tends to have a bigger drinking crowd, but I did not find a published difference in runtime.

How Early Should You Arrive?

• Arrive at doors, about 60 minutes before the listed show time, since clubs often seat by purchase order and ask for ID at the door. Late arrivals risk missing the host and feature, and sometimes a worse table.

• Everyone: bring a valid, physical government ID, since most Corey Holcomb shows are 21+ or 18+.

• Groups: arrive together so you can be seated together.

• Diners: a full bar and dinner menu are available, so arriving early lets you eat before the show.

• Late show: doors can be as early as 9:00 PM for a 9:45 PM show.

How Many Shows Are Coming Up Soon?

Ten shows are listed in the next ten days across three clubs, according to AXS: four at Funny Bone in Toledo on October 30 and 31, one at Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne on November 1, and five at the Chicago Improv from November 6 to 8.

Because each club runs several shows over a weekend, a sold-out early show does not mean the whole weekend is sold out, so check the late show and the Sunday option before you give up on a date.

What Should You Plan Around the Show?

Your evening plans should account for doors, the minimum, and the finish time, since a night at a club is longer than the show itself. A simple way to plan is to pick one of three approaches based on how you want to spend your evening.

These are suggestions based on the timing above, not club rules, so confirm your own club's food and drink service.

What Other Dates Are Listed?

Ticket sites list more dates through March 2027, though I could not confirm each one against the venue. These stops come from ticket listings and a fan-run tour site, so verify times before you plan around them.

• Houston: The Houston Improv, listed for mid-November.

• Orlando and Tampa: Funny Bone, December 3 to 6, with shows around 7:00 PM and a 9:15 PM late show in Tampa.

• Greensboro and Charlotte: The Comedy Zone, December 17 to 19.

• Oklahoma City and Tulsa: Bricktown Comedy Club, January 8 to 10.

• Louisville: Louisville Comedy Club, January 22 to 23, with 7:00 PM and 9:45 PM shows.

Which Show Time Should You Choose?

Pick the show that fits your schedule, then confirm the age policy and doors with the club before you buy.

What Should You Know Before You Go?

• Confirm your show time and doors: many nights have two shows.

• Bring ID: shows are 21+ at some clubs and 18+ at others for early shows.

• Expect a two-item minimum: food and drinks count toward it at most clubs.

• All sales are final: several clubs say no refunds or exchanges.

• Plan for about two to three hours from doors to exit.

When you compare listings, check several marketplaces before you buy, either on a comparison site like TicketWhiz or by looking at each one yourself, and use our Corey Holcomb tickets page to see every date in one place.

Final Thoughts

Plan a Corey Holcomb night as a two-hour show with a host, a feature, and a headline set of about an hour, preceded by about an hour at the club for ID, seating, and orders. Choose the early show for a tighter evening or the late show for a livelier room, and confirm the time and age policy on your ticket.
