Description

Beyond its history as a launching pad for comics like Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle, the club emphasizes fresh acts. The new talent show mixes newly trained performers with seasoned comedians before a welcoming, large crowd. The venue also hosts workshops and open mics. While the room stays lively and the comedy delivers, food service is often slow, and items like pizza can arrive cold. Visitors suggest eating beforehand and keeping table orders to drinks and cheesecake.
