Church of Satire: Where Stand-Up Comedy Meets Snacktown, USA

Nestled in the heart of Hanover, PA—a town known far and wide for chips, pretzels, and snack food royalty—Church of Satire Comedy Club is putting laughter on the local menu.

As the first-ever comedy club in Hanover’s history, we’re not just popping jokes—we’re making history. Our cozy, 46-seat BYOB venue is where comedy fans and curious newcomers gather for live shows, open mics, and belly laughs just a pretzel’s throw from the snack factories.

🥨 From Pretzels to Punchlines

Hanover has given the world crunchy snacks. Now, we’re delivering something just as addictive: live comedy. At Church of Satire, audiences bring their own drinks and snacks (yes, that’s right—BYOB!) and settle in for a night of smart, original stand-up. No drink minimums, no watered-down cocktails—just real laughs and real people.

🎟️ What You’ll Find Here

• Friday & Saturday shows featuring working comics from all over the U.S.
