What is The Lab at Zanies?

An exciting new chapter in the Nashville comedy scene is unfolding. Zanies Nashville, a pillar of laughter and a beacon for comedic talents for over 40 years, is embarking on an innovative expansion. Instead of expanding its current footprint, it will instead grew smaller with the unveiling of a more intimate, yet equally vibrant venue, “The Lab at Zanies.”

Situated right next door to its predecessor, The Lab at Zanies introduced an intimate 100-seat theater in Spring 2024. This space emerges not just as a venue, but as a cradle for creativity, where the legacy of Zanies can continue to cultivate the comedy superstars of tomorrow. Read More

“The comedy part of this tour was great! We laughed a lot! I wish it was more of the jokes and less time at the moonshine store. Biggins could just spend the whole tour with the door open making jokes to the people walking by and that would be hilarious! This was a lot of fun!”

“We had an amazing time on this tour! We had a hilarious and genuine tour guide who had the whole bus laughing and having a great time. We would definitely recommend this tour to any family or group who is not easily offended! We would book this tour again when visiting again!”

“We couldn't stop laughing. My jaws still hurt. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day on this bus. Will definitely tell our friends and family all about this hilarious comedy tour. We visit here every year and will definitely do this tour again.”

“They will have you literally laughing out loud together with friends, family, or anyone else on the tour with you, while you learn the same things about the history and sites as those others do on the “boring” tours. We had an aboslute blast!!!”

“What a great time we had!! Mayham and Floyd were both entertaining, Quick witted and a Pleasure to spend time with. Good clean jokes and geared to whatever group is on the bus. Very personable. So glad we decided to book this reservation. Go make your reservation. It's worth the time spent... Enjoy!!”

“What a fun adventure! Our guide was Buford and our driver was Squirrel, and they were fantastic. In addition to funny jokes, and whitticisms Buford knew all sorts of local facts, history, and current goings in in the areas we visited. It was fun, educational, and exciting.”
