A house show is a professional wrestling show run by a major promotion (such as WWE or TNA), that is not televised or taped. Promotions use house shows mainly to cash in on the exposure that they and their wrestlers receive during televised events as well as test reactions to matches that they think that the television viewing audience would like to see.

Both of WWE's touring groups (RAW and SmackDown!/ECW) run four shows in a typical week, but televise only one. Promotions also use house shows to promote upcoming televised events, especially PPVs; typically, wrestlers who are scheduled to work a match at the promotion's next PPV will work matches against one another at house shows. This also allows them to test out parts of matches before they appear on pay-per-view. Since house shows are not televised, promotions usually do not set-up elaborate staging or fancy pyro for the event, just a ring and basic lighting. Except for international tours and house shows in Madison Square Garden

In recent months, TNA began running their own live events.

The House Show (2004) is a live album from Derek Webb from his House Show tour, following the release of his first solo album, She Must and Shall Go Free.

In order to provide further interaction with listeners, Webb embarked on the House Show Tour, in which he literally played his concerts in people's houses. That interaction can be heard clearly on The House Show, as nearly every other track is simply Webb speaking about the meaning behind his songs.
