How many people fit in Puncher Comedy Club?
Puncher does not publish a room capacity for its Alkmaar club. The Comedy XL ticket page lists 45 regular places, so the room is intimate rather than a large hall; the nearest large venues in Alkmaar hold thousands.
The only capacity figure is on the Comedy XL ticket page: 45 regular places, with a maximum of 45 tickets per order. Puncher does not describe the room's layout or a hall size.
Sportpaleis Alkmaar (4750), AFAS Stadion (17023) and Alkmaarderhout (8914) show the scale of the city's other venues. Puncher sells places in the dozens per show, not the thousands.

Can you eat at Puncher Comedy Club? Comedy Diner and the bar
On Comedy Diner nights Puncher serves a three-course dinner at tables close to the stage, then the show. On other nights the bar is the place to order, at the bar or through the table system.
The Comedy Diner combines a three-course menu with the comedy show for €59.99 and runs from 18:30 to about 23:00. The agenda lists the diner on selected dates; the other shows do not include dinner.
On regular show nights the bar serves drinks; you order at the bar or at your table through the club's digital system.
How a night at Puncher Comedy Club works
From the ticket scan to the last laugh, the Alkmaar club keeps the evening simple.
- Book online for the show you want: Start-up Comedy, Comedy XL, a special or the Comedy Diner each has its own ticket.
- Arrive at Stationsweg 16, where staff receive you at the door and scan your ticket.
- Get a drink at the bar, or order at your table through the digital system.
- Take your place: the regular Alkmaar comedy shows are listed as standing (Type: Staand), so they have no numbered places. Comedy Diner is the exception: guests eat at tables close to the stage before the show.
- The show starts at 20:30 and ends around 23:00; Comedy XL runs to about 23:30 and the diner starts at 18:30.
Is Puncher Comedy Club wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Puncher asks wheelchair users to speak to the bar staff on arrival; the club keeps a threshold plate to make rolling in easier.
The route page gives the practical arrangement rather than a separate entrance: ask a member of the bar team, who will place the threshold plate. The club does not publish further access details, so email before a visit if you need a specific arrangement.

Puncher Comedy Club address and how to get there
Puncher Comedy Club is at Stationsweg 16, 1815 CC Alkmaar, about 370 metres and a five-minute walk from Alkmaar railway station. The bus station sits at the same station, so train and bus arrivals finish on foot.
Puncher's own route page calls it three minutes from Alkmaar Centraal; the measured street route is 370 m, about five minutes.
Buses 8, 9, 163 and 167 from the station stop at Bergerhout, 300 m from the door. Bus 165 stops at Nicolaas Beetskade, 550 m away.
Most shows end around 23:00 and Comedy XL around 23:30; check the NS travel planner for the last train or bus to your destination before you book.
Parking at Puncher Comedy Club: garages and walking times
Puncher recommends De Vest at Canadaplein 2, about 650 metres or nine minutes on foot, at €2.12 per hour. Grote Kerk is slightly closer at 620 metres, but charges €2.40 per hour and publishes no separate evening rate; De Karperton is the fallback and Kanaalschiereiland is open 24/7 and cheaper per hour.
Street parking around Stationsweg is in the yellow zone and costs €26.90 for two hours. The free green zones begin about five minutes from the club, not directly beside it.
Set your navigation to the garage address and walk the last part via Kanaalkade or Geestersingel. De Vest and Grote Kerk are both nine minutes from the club and De Karperton about 18 minutes.

What is Puncher Comedy Club?
Puncher Comedy Club is a comedy club in Alkmaar with its own room at Stationsweg 16 and a second club in Haarlem. It programmes Dutch-language stand-up, Comedy XL, Comedy Diner and workshops, and lists English-spoken shows when it has them.
The club began in Haarlem, where the idea took shape in June 2022. On 1 June 2025 Puncher opened its own venue in Alkmaar.
Puncher also runs Puncher Points, monthly shows in existing cafés and cultural houses; the first was De Groote Weiver in Wormerveer, on the last Friday of the month.
In Haarlem the club moved from Vester to the Jopenkerk in October 2026, where it uses the Pastoriezaal. That is a different location from the Alkmaar club on Stationsweg.
