ASU Kerr

Located just north of Old Town Scottsdale, ASU Kerr is a historic adobe venue offering one of the most intimate comedy experiences in the Valley. Originally the private home and studio of composer Louise Lincoln Kerr, the structure was built in the late 1940s using handmade bricks from the property's own earth. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the venue retains its rustic Southwestern charm with hand-carved wood doors and exceptional acoustics, providing a warm, "salon-style" atmosphere that feels like a hidden local secret. Comedy fans frequent the venue for the "Comedy @ Kerr" series, a bimonthly showcase curated by writer and comedian Sari Beliak. The room hosts a diverse range of talent, from storytelling-driven sets to sharp stand-up. Notable performers who have appeared at the venue include Brian Kohatsu, Raj Sivaraman, and Saad Sarwana. With its unique architecture and up-close seating, ASU Kerr is a premier destination for fans seeking a sophisticated yet relaxed night of laughs.
