Sanford Standup

Sanford Standup is a monthly independent comedy showcase hosted inside the iconic, gothic-themed Manikin Lounge — a one-of-a-kind venue where the atmosphere is dark, moody, artistic, and unforgettable. The show features a curated lineup of elite comics from across Central Florida and beyond, performing sharp, high-impact stand-up for a packed room of real comedy fans.

The experience feels intimate and immersive — low lighting, gothic décor, and a crowd that’s locked in from the first joke to the last. With seating for around 60 guests, every laugh echoes through the room and every set feels personal, raw, and electric.

Sanford Standup blends rising talent, established crushers, and surprise drop-ins, making each show different while maintaining a high standard of quality. This isn’t an open mic — it’s a professional, performance-driven comedy night built for people who love great stand-up in a visually stunning setting.
