Comedy Cellar: the Best NY Stand Up
Many famous and TOP New York comedians perform in this club. A must for locals and tourists alike. Don’t be surprised if you see comedians from late-night TV shows or if some famous comedian suddenly pops up on stage unexpectedly.
Comedy Cellar is the most popular Stand Up comedy club with the greatest reviews from people. It’s a tight and cozy place and totally worth going!
Tickets
Cost: usually about $14-$24 per show + 2 item minimum per person (drinks and/or something to eat).
Comedy Cellar Tips
- Make a reservation in advance here and arrive at least 15 minutes prior to start time. Many shows are usually sold out.
- If you didn’t make a reservation, arrive there early to see if you can get in.
- I’d recommend going to a show that has different comedians for the whole set rather than seeing a solo-performance show.
- Try to grab a table if you plan to eat something during the show.
