The Official Laughing Dad "Vintage Barstool" Long Sleeve Tee
Same design. More sleeve.
The Vintage Barstool graphic that started it all is now on a long sleeve, because comedy doesn't take a night off just because it got cold outside. Whether you're pulling up a stool at a November show, working the back of a fall festival, or just wearing the most comfortable thing in your closet while you explain to your family why that joke was actually funny, this is the shirt for that.
Classic 1980s collegiate block font. Signature Laughing Dad comedy club barstool icon. Distressed ink print that looks like you've had it since your best set in 2003. Available in multiple colors, so you can rep the show in whatever shade matches your energy that night.
Why You'll Love It:
It's the long sleeve version, which means it doubles as a jacket at outdoor shows for people who refuse to wear an actual jacket. Distressed ink aesthetic gives you that broken-in vintage look right out of the package, no suffering required. Gildan construction means it's built to survive more wash cycles than you've had good nights of sleep.
Official merch from Laughing Dad Entertainment.
This Shirt Is Perfect For:
The comedy fan who was cold at the last show is not making that mistake again. The dad who needs a third layer but refuses to call it that. Anyone who wants to rep a real, working comedy brand that has actually made rooms full of people laugh from Evansville to Indianapolis to Louisville.
The Details:
Fit: Classic unisex long sleeve, true to size
Material: Gildan cotton — soft, breathable, and built to last

The Official Laughing Dad "Vintage Barstool" Crewneck Sweatshirt
Because at some point, you need something warmer than a punchline.
The Vintage Barstool graphic just leveled up. Same distressed ink. Same 1980s collegiate energy. Same comedy club icon that started the whole thing, now on a Gildan crewneck that's thick enough to wear to an outdoor November show without spending the whole set thinking about how cold you are instead of paying attention to the comedian who drove two hours to be there.
This is the sweatshirt you grab on the way out the door without thinking about it. The one that ends up being everyone's favorite. The one your kid tries to steal, and you let them because, honestly, it's a great sweatshirt and you raised them right.
Why You'll Love It:
Heavyweight Gildan fleece that actually earns the word cozy without being weird about it. Distressed barstool graphic that looks vintage on day one and better every wash after that. Ribbed cuffs and waistband that stay where they're supposed to instead of slowly betraying you over time. Available in multiple colors so you can match the vibe of whatever show you're heading to.
Official merch from Laughing Dad Entertainment. 8+ years of live stand-up comedy across the Midwest.
This Shirt Is Perfect For:
The comedy fan who has been cold at one too many outdoor shows and is done pretending that's fine. The dad whose hoodie game is strong, but whose crewneck game needs work. Anyone who wants to rep a real working comedy brand in something they'll actually reach for on a Saturday morning without thinking twice. Father's Day, birthdays, Christmas, or any occasion where the person you're buying for deserves something they'll actually wear instead of fold and forget.
The Details:
Fit: Classic unisex crewneck, true to size — size up if you want that relaxed lived-in fit
Material: Gildan heavy blend fleece — warm, durable, and holds its shape
Construction: Double-needle stitching throughout, ribbed collar, cuffs, and waistband
Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. It's a Gildan crewneck. It has seen things. It will be fine.
Made to Order:
Every sweatshirt is printed fresh when your order comes in. Takes a little longer to get to you. Significantly faster than learning to do comedy yourself.
Laughing Dad Entertainment — Est. 2018 Touring Tee (Official)
This is the shirt you wear when you want people to know you support live comedy.
Twenty years in the game. Officially Laughing Dad since 2018. That means by the time this brand launched, it wasn't a guy figuring it out. It was a guy who'd already put in the reps, pulling everything under one roof and producing shows across Indiana and Kentucky.
This isn't a novelty gift shop slapping a microphone on a shirt. This is the real merch from a real working comedy brand, and wearing it means something. Even if what it mostly means is that you thought it was funny.
Why You'll Love It: Vintage tour badge graphic in cream, red, and navy — the kind of design that looks like it came from an act that's been on the road long enough to know what they're doing. Available in multiple colorways so you can pick the one that says "I appreciate live comedy" in your specific shade. Distressed print gives it that broken-in feel without you having to do any of the work.
This shirt is perfect for anyone who's been to a Laughing Dad Entertainment show and wants a souvenir that isn't a blurry cell phone video. Comedy fans in Southern Indiana and the Louisville area who want to rep local. The person in your life who thinks stand-up comedy is an underrated art form and also probably has strong opinions about which era of late-night was the best.
The Details: Gildan blank, soft and reliable, available S–3XL. Multiple color options — the heather blue you see here is the flagship, but check the color selector for the full lineup.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Treat it better than most comics treat their opening acts.
Made to Order: Just your shirt, made when you order it. Allow a few days for production; the comedy business runs on its own schedule, and apparently so does the printer.
Laughing Dad Entertainment — Live stand-up comedy across Southern Indiana and the greater Louisville area. Real shows. Real laughs. Est. 2018.
Laughing Dad Entertainment — Est. 2018 Touring Long Sleeve (Official)
Twenty years in the game. Officially Laughing Dad since 2018. By the time this brand launched, it wasn't a guy figuring it out, it was a guy who'd already logged the reps, the road, and the late nights, pulling everything under one roof. This isn't merch for a hobby. It's merch for a working comedy brand that shows up and gets the job done.
The extra sleeve length just means you'll be warm while you laugh!
Why You'll Love It: The same vintage tour badge graphic - cream, red, and navy - now on a long-sleeve that earns its keep from September through April in Indiana and Kentucky. The distressed print looks like it's been on the road with the act. Multiple colorways available so you can find the one that fits how you watch live comedy: front row, back of the bar, or somewhere in the middle pretending you're just there for the drink specials.
This Shirt Is Perfect For The comedy fan who wants to rep local through sweater weather. Anyone who bought the short sleeve in summer and thought, "I need this for fall." A gift for the person who appreciates live stand-up and also gets cold easily. Both of those people exist. Sometimes they're the same person.
The Details: Gildan long-sleeve blank, soft and reliable, available in S–3XL. Multiple color options — check the selector for the full lineup.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The sleeves will survive. Whether your jokes do is another matter.
Made to Order: Every shirt is printed to order. Just your shirt, made when you order it. Give it a few days...good things take time, and so do good punchlines.

Laughing Dad Entertainment — Est. 2018 Touring Crewneck (Official)
This is the one you reach for when you want to be comfortable and have opinions about live comedy at the same time.
Twenty years in the game. Officially Laughing Dad since 2018. That's not a guy who woke up one day and decided to sell sweatshirts; that's a guy who put in two decades on stages across the United States, before any of this merch existed. The crewneck just means you can rep that history without freezing while you do it.
It's a great sweatshirt from a real comedy brand. Those two things don't always go together.
Why You'll Love It: The vintage tour badge graphic — cream, red, and navy — hits differently on a crewneck. It looks like something you'd find at a show from an act that's been around long enough to have a back catalog. Heavyweight enough to actually keep you warm, distressed print gives it the worn-in look without the thrift store smell. Available in multiple colorways because not everyone wants to match.
This Shirt Is Perfect For The person who runs cold and has good taste in comedy. A gift for the dad who's been to a Laughing Dad Entertainment show and still talks about it. Anyone in Southern Indiana or the Louisville area who wants a go-to fall and winter piece that also starts conversations. And yes, it works on the couch. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
The Details Gildan crewneck sweatshirt blank, soft and substantial, available S–3XL. Multiple color options — check the selector for the full lineup.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low on a gentle cycle. This sweatshirt has more longevity than most opening acts.
Made to Order Every sweatshirt is printed to order just for you. Just yours, made when you order it. Production takes a few days - worth the wait, same as a good setup.

I Tell Dad Jokes. Results May Vary." Tee | Official Laughing Dad Entertainment Gear
The official uniform of the unappreciated comedian.
Let's be real: not every joke lands. Some get laughs, some get groans, some get that specific silence where everyone just stares at their food. But a dedicated dad? He's telling the joke anyway. Every time. Without apology.
This is your warning label. Wear it and let the room know exactly what they're in for — and that you accept zero responsibility for the outcome.
Why You'll Love It:
Bold "warning label" typography that sets the bar low so you can occasionally clear it. Soft, comfortable fabric that holds up longer than your audience's patience. Available in multiple colors and sizes so the whole family can be reminded of what they're dealing with. Official merch from Laughing Dad Entertainment.
This Shirt Is the Perfect Gift For:
The dad who has been telling the same three jokes since 2009 and sees no reason to stop. The husband whose BBQ puns have achieved legendary (if unappreciated) status. Anyone who considers "comedy" a personality trait and a lifestyle. Father's Day, birthdays, or any occasion where you want to give a gift that says "I see you, and I support your bad decisions."
Made to Order: Every shirt is printed fresh when you place your order — no warehouse sitting, no waste, no compromises. Takes a little longer to arrive. Worth it.
I Tell Dad Jokes. Results May Vary." — Laughing Dad Entertainment Long Sleeve Tee
More sleeve. Same zero guarantees.
The warning label that started on a t-shirt has officially gone long sleeve — because dad joke season doesn't end when the weather turns. If anything, trapped inside for the holidays with the whole family is peak dad joke territory, and you're going to want the right uniform for it.
This is the shirt you wear to Thanksgiving dinner when you've already got four solid bits lined up before you even walk in the door. It's the shirt you wear to the Christmas party when someone asks how things are going, and you have a response prepared that technically answers the question but also isn't really an answer. It's the long-sleeve version of accepting exactly who you are and committing to it fully.
Why You'll Love It:
Bold warning label graphic that manages expectations so efficiently you barely have to say a word before the room already knows what's coming. Gildan long sleeve construction that's warm enough for fall shows, holiday parties, and standing in the driveway explaining to a neighbor why that pun was actually clever. Available in multiple colors because the only thing worse than a bad dad joke is a bad dad joke delivered in the wrong color shirt.
Official merch from Laughing Dad Entertainment — 8+ years of live stand-up comedy across Southern Indiana and the greater Louisville area.
This Shirt Is Perfect For:
The dad who treats every family gathering like an open mic and has the track record to prove it. The husband who has been workshopping the same pun since August and is finally ready to debut it at Christmas dinner. Anyone who wants a gift for the guy who thinks he's funnier than he is — which, to be fair, he kind of is. Father's Day, birthdays, the holidays, or any occasion where the person you're buying for has never once let a straight line go by without taking a swing at it.
The Details:
Fit: Classic unisex long sleeve, true to size
Material: Gildan cotton — soft, breathable, and built to outlast the groans
Construction: Double-needle stitching, ribbed cuffs, seamless collar
Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The shirt will survive. Whether your family survives another round of jokes is between you and them.
Made to Order:
Printed fresh when your order comes in. Slightly longer wait than a store-bought shirt. Considerably shorter wait than the pause after a dad joke lands perfectly and everyone pretends it didn't.
I Tell Dad Jokes. Results May Vary. — Laughing Dad Entertainment Official Crewneck Sweatshirt
Some people wear shirts that say things like "World's Best Dad." This isn't that shirt. This shirt is honest. It acknowledges upfront that the jokes are coming, the delivery will be confident, and the audience response is frankly out of your hands at this point.
That's not a flaw. That's a lifestyle.
Twenty-plus years of stand-up comedy across the United States. Producing shows in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, one thing that's never changed is that dads are going to dad. The groan is part of the experience. The shirt just makes it official.
Why You'll Love It
Bold white graphic on a classic black shirt. The kind of shirt that does the talking before you open your mouth, which is great, because once you open your mouth, results may vary. The mic graphic pulls from the Laughing Dad Entertainment brand, so you're not just wearing a joke. You're repping a working comedy brand that's been doing this for real.
This Shirt Is Perfect For
The dad who thinks he's funnier than he is (he might be right). The guy whose family has perfected the courtesy laugh. Father's Day, birthdays, or any occasion where someone needs a shirt that explains them better than they could explain themselves. Also solid for actual stand-up comedians who want to manage expectations before they hit the stage.
The Details
Printed on Gildan — soft, reliable, doesn't shrink into a crop top after one wash. Bold graphic print, black base, white ink. Available S–3XL because comedy doesn't discriminate by size.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the graphic — the jokes are already flat enough.
Made to Order
Every shirt is printed to order out of Southern Indiana. That means no warehouse sitting on a pile of unsold merch, just a shirt made specifically for you. Give it a few days. Good things take time. So do good punchlines.
