Pat Bryne (WFMU)Dajon Alford (Nothin’ But Anthems)

Join our community of hilarious comedians (from HBO, Netflix, Comedy Central - and more!) for a night of heartwarming absurdity as they bring you their joke experiments in the most exciting new joke show from NYC... that's also a Time Out New York pick!


Audience members have said that it feels like a "communal experience" that's "quirky and alive" and "if a tourist happens to find it they're lucky."

Here are some other words from our audience members:

  • "Good vibes. Good food. Good comedy."
  • "Witty, creative, and inclusive to everyone in a loving environment."
  • "Hilariously inappropriate, yet kind."
  • "You get to go behind the curtain on how comedians make their work."

F.A.Q.

Can I be one of the "first time comedians? Sure. [email protected] we'll set you up.

Can I come alone? Yes! Here's what a recent audience member said about that: "Definitely a good atmosphere for a solo person, everyone was very welcoming and friendly but also not overwhelming."

What kind of comedy is presented? Mostly standup, as well as a character act or two. We include a diverse array of comedians experimenting with different ways to present standup. Audiences have loved this aspect of the show. Audience members have described it as:

  • "Fun. Spontaneous."
  • "Unhinged....in the best way!"
  • "Quirky and alive!"
  • "Fun way to spend an evening: laugh and get dinner."

Will comedians make fun of me? This room is positive-vibes only! As one audience members said point blank: "You won't be a target at this show."
