Swimming with Sharks Comedy Show and Live Podcast

Celebrating 4 Years of Swimming with Sharks! Swimming with Sharks is not your typical stand-up comedy open mic. Talented and experienced comedians share the stage with first-timers and open-mic’ers in a late-night talk show-meets-podcast setting. The show is hosted by entertainer Noah “Shark” Robertson and features a rotating cast of co-hosts, featured guests, strange characters, and more! 

“One of Dallas’ Best Open Mic Nights” – Dallas Observer


The purpose of this showcase (besides pure entertainment, of course) is to test comedians and give them a chance to experience something new and unexpected; an opportunity to be in the moment, try their patience, adapt on the fly and improvise. It’s SINK or SWIM! Anything can happen at a Swimming with Sharks Comedy Show! The show often features interviews, game show antics, insane distractions, video enhancement, costumed characters, sketches and more!


SWS welcomes new comics and we provide a welcoming and encouraging environment. Many comics in the DFW area got their start on our stage! SWS is also proud to provide a platform for artists and creators to voice their opinions, explore taboo subjects, and riff on anything that comes to mind; helping to keep freedom of speech alive! SWS welcomes any and all entertainers and comedians of all experience levels and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, sex, or anything else. 

SWS does not condone hate speech.


Come watch comedians get THROWN TO THE SHARKS! Come witness the madness and be a part of the Chaos, Comedy and Mayhem at the next Swimming with Sharks Comedy Show!

Official Info and Rules for Comics: 


Sign-ups are in person and begin at least thirty minutes before the show. The list follows the order in which comics sign up, but is sometimes randomized or subject to change. In some cases the order is based on a “lottery” system. Comics are given a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes of stage time. More time is awarded based on performance and/or other circumstances. The “Briefcase of Destiny” holds random topics that comics may riff on and in some cases this may extend your stage time. The show features a panel of hosts and guests that comics may interact with while on stage; in some cases, interviews are conducted. Comics may be subject to distractions and derailment. The show is filmed in front of a live audience and is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple, Amazon and more!
