Hidden in the heart of Harvard Square, The Comedy Studio has been Boston's proving ground for new stand-up since 1996 — three consecutive 'Best of Boston' awards and, in the words of Conan's producer, 'the greatest comedy club on earth.' Founded on the top floor of the old Hong Kong Restaurant and now at 5 John F. Kennedy St, the indie, comedian-run club built its reputation by developing and launching talent: Eugene Mirman, Dan Mintz, Larry Murphy, Ali Wong, Sarah Silverman, Pete Holmes, Gary Gulman, Mike Birbiglia, Colin Jost, Sam Jay, Josh Gondelman and Jen Kirkman were all regulars here before their careers took off, and still drop in for sets. The 151-seat room runs five nights a week — touring headliners alongside house shows like Comedy Gold, The Late Night, Certified Fresh and Roast Battle Boston, plus a famous free open mic — with a full bar and an uncensored, mutually respectful house style.
