AGT’s Comedy Showcase at The Laugh Factory will take place on Wednesday, January 28 at 9:45pm. It is unknown at this time if footage from the showcase will be shown on America’s Got Talent Season 21.

Fans Can Purchase Tickets to Attend the Event

This event is completely open to the public, so fans of the show are now able to purchase a ticket. According to AGT’s press release, the audience will “enjoy an unforgettable lineup of comedians while witnessing potential AGT stars in the making.”

Audience member tickets are now live. Prices for this event begin at $25.

America’s Got Talent has helped launch the careers of various comics like Preacher Lawson, Taylor Williamson, Vicki Barbolak, Learnmore Jonasi, and many more. Although many comedians have been successful post AGT, a comedian has yet to win the series.
