Bringing New York the Best Comedy Since the ‘80s

Since New York Comedy Club’s founding in 1989, changes in location, ownership, and time haven’t stopped this New York staple from dominating the comedy scene. As the stand-up world continues to evolve, New York Comedy Club has followed suit — all the while staying true to its original mission at conception: to be a place dedicated to live comedy without the frills, and serving up nothing but the best comedy in the city. Our venues continue to set the standard of what a comedy club should be, and our intimate showrooms capture the roar of the crowd nightly and provide an “anything can happen” feeling that only live comedy can, while providing a popular backdrop for comedy specials. A career-launching pad for many of comedy’s biggest names, New York Comedy Club continues to be the spot to discover the stars of tomorrow, as well as the comics you know and love. And you never know who might pop in for a surprise guest spot!

New York Comedy Club is now regarded as one of the top clubs, not only in New York, but across the country. Opening its doors to a second location in the East Village in 2018, it became the only comedy club in the country with two venues in the same city under one name. NYCC continues to be an integral part of the comedy world and produce the best and most popular shows for comedy fans for decades to come.
