Merlin’s Comedy Club, founded by Mickael and Alisha Stevens in Coeur d'Alene, ID, is bringing high-quality, clean comedy to North Idaho, filling a gap in the local entertainment scene. Inspired by Dry Bar Comedy, they launched their first show in 2021 and have since hosted dozens of professional comedians seen on Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and late-night TV. Their shows, designed for audiences 13 and up, prove that comedy doesn’t need profanity to be hilarious—just sharp writing and real talent.

Beyond laughter, Merlin’s is deeply committed to the community, donating tickets to local charities and sponsoring youth sports.
