Krakin Jokes is the legendary comedy series that started it all. It sprang up from the collective unconscious like a weed and spread like wildfire, taking over the hearts and minds of Athenians. Featuring hometown-hero comedians alongside visiting greats, plus a few bucket spots for the lucky audience members brave enough to take the stage. Come for the laughs, stay for the community.
Krakin started as a backyard comedy show on Habersham Drive in 2015, got featured in multiple documentaries about the creative hijinks around town, and became the launching pad for more than a few comedy careers in the Athens and Atlanta scene. It ran for 25 iterations and 5 years until we stopped counting and the county shut us down. These days it lives at Flying Squid Comedy — the natural evolution of the Krakin Jokes showcase — all grown up and gone legit.
Now we've got a real venue and nobody's waking up to a bar in their bedroom, a bunch of mangy dogs, or a pile of drunk people asleep on the floor. The spark is still there, and the comedy is a lot better. Trust us.
For a limited time only, because life is short. We run bi-monthly-ish — catch it now!
But Don't Take Our Word for It!
"It's like history written with laughter" - Woodrow Wilson
"I used to stay too long at their house and they had a hard time telling me to leave" - John from Around the Corner
"The best comedy show in modern memory" - Can't remember the guy's name
Please arrive early to ensure a seat with your party. After the official showtime, we reserve the right to fill your seat if the show is sold out. We have a very small and intimate venue; thanks for understanding!
No Refunds — If you aren't able to make the show we are happy to exchange for a same-priced ticket in the future. Please contact us at info@flyingsquidcomedy.com if you have questions or concerns. Thanks for supporting local theater!
