Tampere Comedy Theatre (Finnish Tampereen Komediateatteri) is theatre in Tampere that focuses on comedy. It was founded in 1991 by actor Esko Raipia and screenwriter and director Tapio Parkkinen.[1] The theatre's address is Lapintie 3, Tampere.[2]

Since 1994 the theatre is operated from Juhlatalo, a historic building in Tampere that was completed in 1897 and designed by Georg Schreck. In 2006 a new stage that can fit 256 viewers was completed.[1]

Apart from comedy, the theatre also hosts comedy and farces.[3] Since 1994 a theatre institution (Suomen teatteriopisto) has operated from the premise of the same building. The institution educates both amateur and professional actors.[4]
