The Comedy Barn
Clean comedy with a live band and animal acts · A variety show, not a dinner show
The Comedy Barn is Pigeon Forge's long-running clean comedy show, mixing stand-up, a live band, juggling, clogging and animal acts into one fast-moving, family-friendly evening. It's been making Smoky Mountain visitors laugh for decades, and it's a go-to pick when you want a show the whole family can enjoy.
The theater is on the Parkway in the middle of Pigeon Forge, right next to Frizzle Chicken Farmhouse Café, so it's easy to pair with dinner and a day of attractions.
