Stand-Up Comedy at
Ponce City Market!
Atlanta already loves Ponce City Market and now there's gonna be live stand-up comedy 7 nights a week. You're welcome.
Find us at the corner of Glen Iris & North Ave, right behind Dancing Goats Coffee (where City Winery's upstairs used to be).
Two Showrooms
We've got two stages: Main Squeeze (130 seats) for the bigger shows and Side Piece (44 seats) for the late-night, off-the-wall, try-something-new kind of shows. More rooms, more options, more reasons to come back.
With two showrooms, we estimate 25 shows a week. So yea, this is gonna be fun!

The Whiplash Patio
Show up early. Stay late. Or just come hang.
Our 2,500 sq ft patio is surrounded by greenery, loaded with comfy chairs, and basically begging you to hang out.
No picnic tables. Just chill.
Private Events
Book Whiplash Comedy for corporate events, private parties, and special occasions, custom comedy shows and more.
We offer two event spaces and a large patio.
Meet The Founder
You might know Marshall Chiles from Laughing Skull Lounge, the Midtown comedy room he built from scratch and ran for 16 years before selling in 2025.
Before that, he owned Funny Farm Comedy Club in Roswell. Yea, that's right, he's been performing & promoting comedy for over 20 years. Whiplash is the next chapter. But it's not just another comedy club. Marshall's vision is bigger: a community center built around comedy. A place to laugh, sure, but also a place to connect.
Whiplash Comedy at Ponce City Market will be his best club yet giving him the opportunity to build another Atlanta icon.

What about parking?
We have several options for parking. Right beside Dancing Goats is a lot for about 20 cars and we will have an entrance from that parking lot. PLUS, across North Avenue is Southern Dairies that is usually empty at night with about another 100 spots. And of course, there is lots of parking at Ponce City Market.
