Broadway shows are not the only thing worth viewing at New York City. Comedy clubs are also worth checking out in the Big Apple as New York is also one of the best cities in the world for comedy shows.
There are tons of places to choose from, from the most popular ones to little, secret haunts that provide a good laugh for everyone. If you're in the city and interested in taking the night off to laugh with your friends, then these are the best places to check out:
Caroline's. New York comedy actors all aim to perform at Caroline's. First located at Chelsea, it now moved to Times Square and is the first choice for locals when they want to watch a good comedy show. Its seats 300 people, offers food and drinks, while the stage is being graced by the city's most acclaimed comedy actors.
Comedy Cellar. Only the best perform at Comedy Cellar, and often enough, they don't plan their visits-they just go up the stage and make people laugh. Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Jon Stewart are some of the popular names patrons keep coming back for, but even if they don't show up guests are still guaranteed of a night of fun and lively entertainment.
Upright Citizens Brigade. UCB is founded by Amy Poehler, so you know they only serve the good stuff. Highly-acclaimed comedians even all the way from Los Angeles sometimes steal the mic and make people cry from laughing-such as Tina Fey, Jay Pharaoh and Saturday Night's Live John Mulaney ( he's a classic favorite.) Make sure you book your tickets early because tickets to their shows often sell out.
The Slipper Room. Make sure your sense of humor is high and not easily offended because shows in the Slipper Room tend to involve the crowd in making everyone laugh. This quaint comedy club on the Lower East Side is also a classic favorite, where roasts and clever puns are always being served. Make sure you bring your best friends in watching their shows. Chances are you won't stop laughing for a week.
