Some Awesome Comedy Clubs NYC

By Brian Bell


Comedians will agree that New York City is the undisputed world capital of stand up performers, mostly due to the large number of venues that dapple the landscape. So many legendary comedians have gotten their start in the Big Apple that it would be impossible to name them all. For people looking for a great night of laughs, here are the best comedy clubs NYC.

Many comedians would agree that Carolines on Broadway is currently the premier venue in the city. Carolines is small and unassuming, and many comedians have commented on how much they enjoy this intimate feel. People who are keen to see such heavyweights as Louis CK and Chris Rock should pay Carolines a visit.

The Gotham Comedy Club is another New York City landmark for people that want to see the best comedians the world has to offer. Not only do they feature huge names in the stand-up world, but Gotham also regularly features new up and coming acts at their New Showcase. With a swanky, theater-like interior, Gotham is a favorite of everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to performers still doing open mic nights.

Fans that are looking for a no nonsense approach to making people laugh should check out the Comedy Cellar, as it is known to be a favorite haunt of comedians. The Cellar is small and simple, which is why so many comics like to try out their latest jokes there. People that want to see an act as it is evolving should check out the Cellar and if they are lucky a big name celebrity be hanging out in the crowd.

The upper west side has plenty of entertainment but one of the best places to laugh is Stand Up NY. This freshly renovated club is regularly listed as one of the best in the city by both audiences and performers. They have newcomers and big name acts so there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

The Duplex is a venue known for its somewhat cheesy interior and also for being the place where many comedians get their start on the stage. This small, campy cabaret bar is great for people who want to discover the latest talent in the industry. A legendary venue in New York that still gets big names on stage and in the audience.

Those that are looking for a diverse line up should check out the New York Comedy Festival. This festival, which is usually held in November, showcases some of the top talent in the city and from around the country. With several days of shows the festival is heaven for laugh junkies.

These are just a few great comedy clubs NYC, so lovers of comedy should seek out other venues on their own. The city is the capital of stand up so new discoveries are being made every day. So get out there and have a fun night out.
