Plus we have a full bar full of delicious craft cocktails! The Backline is the Omaha destination for live comedy shows. Stand-up, improv, sketch shows -- we have them all. While we have comedy forms for every taste, we’re best known for our long-form improv. Twice a month, we even have both of our house Harold teams perform together. Our club also hosts a variety of local comedians and groups, all

ready to put on a show with lots of laughs. Inspired by the shows you’ve watched? Good thing we offer classes to teach you the skills and techniques you’ve seen on stage. That’s right, we have courses from beginner to advanced so you can live out your performance dreams.

The cast of Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical stopped by The Backline after their show at The Orpheum this weekend! They said they just wanted to sing other songs for a night and we were glad to host them! Obviously they are talented to be in a Broadway production but these folks were absolutely amazing! This was an incredible night and hopefully we can do something like this again!

These comedy shows this week truly have a little bit of everything! We're debuting a new type of variety show inspired by our love for those old Public Broadcasting shows, plus standup, improv, musical improv, a standup game show, and to top it all off we end with a variety show that truly brings a little bit of everything all in one show! We'll see you this weekend!
