Our Shows: At Dry Heat, we’re not your typical comedy club.

Please Note: We’re all about showcasing talent that’s already making a trip to Albuquerque. While we’re unable to offer travel stipends or accommodations, we provide an unforgettable platform and an enthusiastic audience ready to laugh with you and we do pay you for your time on stage.

Important: To ensure a smooth process, please make sure your email includes all the requested information. We aim to give opportunities to those who are prepared and passionate. This information is vital in helping us decide if you’re a good fit for our stage. If we think you are a good fit, you’ll hear back from us.

We can’t wait to see you shine on our stage.

Is there anyone who can’t perform at Dry Heat? 

Yeah, for safety reasons, we don’t let the following kinds of folks perform at our club. (But don’t worry, if you don’t fall into these groups, we’re generally pretty laid back).

  • Folks with outstanding, credible abuse allegations made against them
  • Folks who have been violent with us in the past
  • Folks who are active members of hate groups or who actively use their platform to encourage violence against vulnerable groups (the way hate groups do)
  • Folks who do dangerous stuff onstage, like eating fire or knife throwing (we love that, but our space just can’t handle it!)
  • Folks who have already been kicked out of Dry Heat for being a disruptive audience member.
  • And anyone else we deem unfit for the stage—as a business, we reserve the right to refuse service (or stage time) to anyone, for any reason, at any time.
