There's a new comedy club in town and it has a full schedule of funny people booked that are known locally and nationally. 

Detroit House of Comedy — part of a group of comedy venues across North America — made its debut last weekend with a showcase of local stand-ups. In the next few weeks the 300-seat club, located inside Hockeytown Cafe at 2301 Woodward, will host stand-up comedians Hans Kim, Detroit's own Jeff Horste and former "Saturday Night Live" player Sasheer Zamata. 

Detroit House of Comedy will open this summer where City Theatre used to be inside Hockeytown Cafe.

The theater is open to anyone 16 and older, and pre-purchase of tickets is recommended. Audience members are required to be checked in at least 15 minutes before show time or their tickets might be resold, according to the venue's website.
