The Bomb Shelter Comedy Showcase

A high caliber comedy show of some of the best comics in Des Moines or anywhere else! A high caliber comedy show of some of the best comics in Des Moines or anywhere else: the Bomb Shelter at the Beechwood is a Des Moines legacy comedy show! This month we have headlining comics Jacob Womack, Bernard Bell, and Damon Tucker! Jacob Womack has been entertaining a variety of audiences for nearly fifteen years. In 2025, he won the annual “Funniest Comic in Sioux Falls” contest. Then he won “Best Stand-up Comic” at the 2025 Sioux Falls Stage Awards. Then, he hosted the Stage Awards that following year. On top of comedy, he is a performer for two improv companies in the Sioux Falls area, as well as a DJ and MC. He has won two national championships for public speaking, and he played the title character in the 2017 short film “Duffy’s Jacket” alongside character actor Doug Jones. His deeply personal comedy attempts to find meaning in the experience of being an adult with autism, a teacher, and an entertainer on a lifelong quest to figure out what exactly people mean when they say "be yourself." Bernard Bell is a consummate comedian, comfortable in front of any audience and a delight to watch. His comedy is a seamless blend of crowd work and true to life bits, and culinary aversions to food he's pretty sure he hates, and foods he knows could kill him. Originally from Chicago, Bernard performs nation wide. Damon Tucker is a Des Moines based comic where he hosts the Comedy Revival showcases at the Station on Ingersoll, Comedy Open Mics at the same, Freakshow, a comedy Gameshow, Underground Comedy open mics at the Beechwood Lounge in addition to performing on multiple Don't Tell showcases, as well as at clubs and rooms around the midwest and US. With them this month is Jim Stanley, Kate Thompson, and hosts Mike Albert and Dan Umthun! Come join us for this incredibly fun, high energy monthly event. While the show is free to the public, donations of $5 are encouraged and accepted! Showtime is 8:00PM, doors at 7:30PM!
