Comedy Cellar

The Comedy Cellar is the legendary Greenwich Village comedy club that has anchored New York's stand-up scene since 1982. From its original basement room at 117 MacDougal Street to its adjoining rooms at The Village Underground and the Fat Black Pussycat on West 3rd Street, it runs multiple curated lineups every night of the week, stacked with the city's best working comedians and the constant possibility of a surprise drop-in. Immortalized by the after-set round-table show "Comedy Cellar: Live from the Table," it has long been the room every touring comic wants to play, with regulars and drop-ins like Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Nikki Glaser, Judah Friedlander, and Jim Norton. Expect a tight, no-frills club experience: sharp lineups, a two-item minimum, a 21+ door, and phones tucked away in pouches so the focus stays on the stage.
