Denver
Located 13 miles south of Denver, this place is only worth the drive if there's an act you've been dying to see. The theater is spacious enough but prepare to jump through hoops before getting seated (including turning over your cell phone). For VIP treatment and front-row seating, eat at the adjoining restaurant, Lucy's, before the show.
For comedy in downtown Denver, try its sister venue, Comedy Works.
