Comedy Shows Near Destin

Not a dedicated stand-up club inside Destin itself, but two magic-and-comedy shows run in town most of the year: Bart Rockett's Magic and Comedy at The Palms of Destin Resort and Maximum Magic at HarborWalk Theater. For stand-up, Everything Is Funny runs a free show every Thursday at Mad House in Fort Walton Beach, and Emerald Coast Theatre Company in Miramar Beach hosts comedy nights; both are about 20 minutes away. Talk to the Moon Comedy Club and Club 27 Comedy in Pensacola and Beaches Comedy Club in Panama City Beach are each about an hour's drive.

Mostly the Pensacola Saenger Theatre on Palafox and the Pensacola Bay Center, both about an hour west of Destin. Headliners like Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Dunham and Jo Koy are on the calendar this season.
