The State of Georgia offers an array of entertainment, including sports, theater, history centers, orchestra, art galleries, and even the hottest comedy clubs in Atlanta. A comedy club offers a particular outlet designed for performances related to stand-up comedy, improv, impersonators, magicians, ventriloquists, and other various comedy acts. Even the world's funniest entertainers started in one of these venues, including popular personalities, such as Robin Williams, Bernie Mac, Kat Williams, Cedric the Entertainer, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Russell Peters, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, Dane Cook, and Mitch Hedberg.
