Club Info
Magoobys features well known national headliners every week and is considered one of the top comedy clubs in the country. Locally, we’ve been voted #1 comedy club in Baltimore by the City Paper every year that award’s been given. Our venue comfortably seats 350 people in a theater setting with superb sight lines, state of the art sound and lighting and a 240 square foot stage! We’re located at 9603 Deereco Road (Padonia road exit off I-83N), less than 25 minutes from downtown Baltimore and no more than 5-20 minutes from areas including Towson, Owings Mills, Pikesville, Cockeysville, Loch Raven, White Marsh, Randallstown, Lutherville, Overlea and Parkville.
Our superior showroom environment offers some of the best comedy club pub food you’ll ever taste along with a killer specialty drink menu, excellent service and tons of free parking. Before and after shows (as well as off nights) we invite you to check out our cozy bar, Wits End Saloon, adjacent to the club. Wits End features over 50 different whiskeys, craft cocktails, a vast selection of specialty beers and excellent food, including items not served in the club. The bar is open Monday through Saturday from 4:30pm to 2am.
Our venue is perfect for comedy, intimate music performances or any type of corporate or private event imaginable. We hope you'll make it a point to check us out in Timonium and that you’ll view MAGOOBYS JOKE HOUSE as the #1 COMEDY CLUB IN THE BALTIMORE AREA!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Do you serve food?
Yes! We offer a full menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, wings, and more, all made to order. Please check our online menu.
How does the two-item minimum work?
Each person is required to purchase at least two items during the show. Items can include food, alcoholic drinks, or non-alcoholic beverages. If a guest does not order two items, a $5 fee will be charged for each item they miss. Please note that purchases made at Wits End Saloon do not count toward the two-item minimum; all purchases must be made in the comedy club.
Do you accept tickets purchased from 3rd party ticket sellers?
No, Magoobys Joke House does not accept tickets purchased from third-party sellers or unauthorized resellers. Tickets are only valid if purchased directly through our website, magoobys.com, or by calling our box office. To ensure guaranteed entry and avoid issues, always purchase your tickets from us. Tickets suspected of being purchased for resale may be canceled at our discretion.
What is the age requirement?
Guests must be 18 or older. To purchase alcohol, you must be 21+ with valid ID. Exceptions can occasionally be made for 17-year-olds, but they must be seated with a parent or guardian.
Why do you preauthorize credit cards?
When customers are seated and their server takes their order, we request a credit card and preauthorize it for $10. This charge is voided when you leave, and your final bill is charged to the card. The $10 may appear as "pending" on your account but will drop off within a day or two.
We preauthorize cards to help prevent walkouts and to speed up the payment process, ensuring you can settle your bill quickly and be on your way after the show.
Do you automatically add gratuity to checks?
We only add an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more people or for checks totaling $80 or more. If your check does not meet either of these criteria, gratuity will not be added automatically, and tipping is left to your discretion. This policy helps ensure fair compensation for our staff, especially during busy shows.
How does seating work, and why is it arranged the way it is?
Our seating is designed to create the classic comedy club experience, where tables are placed close together for a lively and energetic atmosphere. Comedy shows are more enjoyable when the audience feels connected, and comedians thrive in a tightly packed room.
- General Admission Seating: If you have a General Admission (GA) ticket, seating is first come, first served. Our friendly staff will guide you to the best available seats upon your arrival. Please note that GA tickets do not allow for choosing specific seats. For the best experience, we recommend arriving early.
- Keeping Groups Together: We do our best to ensure that parties sit together, but on busy nights, larger groups (5+ people) may have designated areas, and smaller groups will be seated in sections suited for them.
- Sharing Tables: If your group doesn't fill a table, you may share it with other guests. It's a great chance to meet fellow comedy fans!
- Special Reserved Tables: Some tables may be reserved for VIP members or special guests of the comedians.
Thank you for helping us maintain a fun and inclusive environment for everyone!
