Description

The epicenter of New Yorkas sketch/improv comedy scene; many shows start here and go on to win fame at big, fancy comedy festivals. And yet, inexplicably, the vibe is relaxed and friendly, and most performances are $8 or less. Some are even free. Check this place out lest it disappear into the alternate universe from whence it came. Mon-Wed 8, 9:30 & 11pm; Thu 7, 8, 9:30 & 11pm; Fri 8, 9:30 & 11pm & midnight; Sat 7:30, 9 & 10:30pm & midnight; Sun 7:30 & 9:30pm. $5-$8 (some shows are free, call ahead).

What could be better than watching the beautiful but somewhat desperate gals of The Bachelor claw their way to the heart of one clueless dude? Perhaps the sketch-comedy show The Bachelor: Romance, Roses, and Romance at the Upright Citizens Brigade... More »

Definitely go to the Sunday night free show. Absolutely hilarious improvisational theater, featuring Lutz of "30 Rock" fame. Make sure to get there early to wait in line, especially if you want a seat -- 8 is a good time to get in line, and the show starts at 9:30. I recommend getting dinner from a food truck or the Gristede's next door and eating in line. I guarantee the show will have you in stitches.
