Love coming here for great laughs. They have a great mix of comics from professional to amateur. Just saw Michael Rapaport tonight and he was killed it. Paul Mercurio is a recurring favorite. They offer a Laugh Pass which gives free admission to all the shows you can go to. The staff is very friendly and I encourage anyone who goes to sit by the stage for the full experience. Theres always a fun energy when the talent interacts with the crowd.

Had a great time here. The lineup was solid. Drinks price is similar to most comedy clubs. Disappointed in the person who was at the front taking the tickets. She didn’t look like she wanted to be there and rolled her eyes anytime my friends or I asked her a question as we were from out of town. Aside from that, really enjoyed the show.

Had a great time!! The comedians delivered their best dog jokes!! LOL

Tight spot but great show on the night I went. Sorry if this isnt helpful. Great drinks though! And cheap tickets make it a great low-key date night opportunity.

Great Comedy Club...performed here s few times and also visited it as an audience member. Make it your business to visit this place. Also try getting tickets direct from the club instead..you wont regret it.

The comedians are hilarious. The servers were top notch. If youre in NYC I highly recommend this place

Great show!! Host was very good. Nice assortment of comics. Two drink minimum a little pricey.

I was there for a fund raiser comedy show with an all female line-up, not sure if every night is the same, but staff was super sweet and the show was hilarious. Really good night.

This is an intimate venue, we went on a Monday for the early show (8PM). There was lots of crowd interaction for the ~15 people in the audience. The host Emad and other comedians got a lot of good laughs from us. They also read the crowd and changed jokes accordingly. Yes, the $18 drink minimum per person is real, they do order their food from the eatery nearby, and were attentive to the tables. They do include gratuity in the tab as well.

Me & my cousin went here it was a small group... About three or four comedians that where pretty funny. Customer service was a great. I would definitely go back.

This is a fun comedy club on upper west side. There are no bar seats. Drunks are delicious. Guaranteed to laugh!

Great, cozy comedy spot. Make sure what youre buying counts towards your drink minimum: I think its common sense that food doesnt count but some folks there didnt.Great local comedians, lesser-known out-of-towners and (I hear) the occasional big name. This is where I go when I just want to see some random good comedians

Had a great time with friends! The comics were really funny, and the tickets are cheap. Pro tip use Groupon!

Comedians should not waste their energy performing here. Although I enjoyed 5 out of the 7 comedians, that cannot bump this review up a single star. You should all perform at a place that takes pride in themselves.There is a ludicrous $18 drink minimum on top of paying for the show. The only way to get out of this exemption is if youre under 21. I asked if I could purchase $18 worth of food instead since I do not drink (plus I drove); however, the waiter simply stated that food does not count towards the minimum, with the implication being I either buy a drink or get out. Thankfully there were patrons willing to drink my share.When I caved to order waffle fries ($9), the waiter informed me that it would take around 20 minutes. 40 minutes passed, and the waiter brought what appeared to be waffle fries from the diner next door, complete with the to-go tin container and packets of ketchup.When it came time to pay the bill my friend and I discovered we were overcharged due to a failure to meet the minimum, which was not the case at all. After yet another back and forth with the waiter, we were given the correct bill with the $22 overcharge subtracted from the bill. Not exactly a minor oversight.The fact that a sizable number of people left before the checks came was telling, and in hindsight, I should have not paid either. The least I could do now is warn people of my experience so they may make their own judgments.

Great little comedy club! I dropped in here with a few friends over the weekend and the line up was great. The headliner was a Broadway Show host and was very entertaining. The 4 other comedians all kept us laughing and each had their own unique style. Drinks were good as there is a 2 drink minimum.

They are a RIP off. $28 dollars for a shot of Jose cuervo and a modelo + $ 9.00 gratuity and $4.95 TAX. TWO DIRNKS minimum. I spend $61.67 for a $10.00 dollar for a local comedy show. They did not have any top shelf liquor. The bar tender was nice enough to let me change my cell phone at the bar while I waited for the show.

Godzilla Greatly Enjoyed Doing An Open Mic That Involved One Person Who Vanished Into A Bathroom For 30 Mins. Im Pretty Sure The Mic Was Good, And Since No One Was There To Refute, It Was A Smash!

Fun night and great comics! Had fun !

Great environment, skilled comedians and a friendly staff. I love this place!

Comedy was great. Modi and Elon Gold had the place rolling. Drinks were eh. Nothing special

Impressive lineup. Intimate setting. Drinks cost about the same as any comedy club we’ve been to. We were a party of five and while all of us laughed hard, three of us laughed till we cried. Would definitely go again. Great fun!

Awesome place, good show. Be aware of minimum purchase on drinks.

Great club with wonderful comics.

For $20 each it was OK, throw in the fact there is an $18 drink minimum per person it suddenly turn into a disappointing night as only 2 of the 8 or so acts were actually funny. 3 of the acts had to on more than 1 occasion check their phones for material. Disappointed is an understandment

Food and drinks are good. And the comedy truly delivers.

This place is great for date night or a girls night out. Very funny comedians.. love this place. This place gets 5 stars from me..

Club is kinda old. Route to the bathroom is pretty scary. Alcohol selections weird (no Corona). Waitress was nice but all about that $18pp minimum.

Nice club. Talent was very good. Nice atmosphere. They have a free shot if you mention social media but dont expect you cellar to work!

Nice small comedy club with bar in front. Only four stars because apparently no staff pay attention to the acts because a group of people were asked to shut up by every comedian and nobody came to throw them out. There was a drink minimum and I just had a couple of beers. Others had cocktails and it didnt break the bank.

Super great show as well interactive with the public, I will go back anytime

Saw the Sunday 8pm show and had a great time, laughing the entire time. It felt like we were getting an inside look at comedy in NY. Some of the comedians were better than others but that is part of what made it fun ... the comics are working hard, not putting on a rehearsed show.

Took an improv class. Had a lot of fun.

Comedians were funny on the mark. Kept the audience engaged. Great evening

Excellent time. Will definitely go back next time Im in NYC

The first three comics (of five) were top notch, which elevates the venue from a one star review. The waitstaff were unfriendly, the building smelled like beer and the tables were sticky, and the volume was far too loud. The greatest faux pas was bringing the check in the middle of the show. Everyone was then turning on their phone flashlights to figure out payment. Mandatory gratuity for a party of two is ridiculous.

They are a lier and take more money without order any things. They said thes is our policy. I didnt recomend this bad place never

Had a great time! My wife took me here on my birthday. Good staff and comedians were funny except for the owners jokes but he did look funny and was a gentleman.

Hilarious comics have graced this stage. Always an amazing experience to come here. And phenomenal laughs.

Good place to come with friends that like to laugh.

The perfect venue & partner for our CANNIBAL MILKSHAKE LIVE variety show, can’t wait to return!

Totally chill comedy club with an intimate feel and friendly staff. No surliness from behind the bar even when theres a rush for drinks all of a sudden between sets or an intermission. Perfect fit for the UWS.

Love the place n the people great time

Great venue for comedy! Attentive service, strong drinks, and funny mics.

Found an email i sent way back when to which I never received a reply:I am contacting you to request a refund for a 2 ticket purchases to Stand Up NY. My friend and I were approached in Time Square and convnced to buy tickets. We had agreed to go to the show and handed the gentleman 20 dollars before he gave us the tickets. He failed to mention that there was a 2 drink or minimum 20 dollar purchase. We had already eaten that night and moreover, we are under 21. We had to leave the city yesterday morning so there is no way we could make use of the tickets. We gave the tickets to the man at the door. We did not stay for the show and were given your contact information to request a refund. We are told you are able to do this electronically.Please tell me what information you need and what steps I need to take to process the refund.Thanks for your time,JessicaPS. I had called you the other day and we were in conversation when we lost connection.

It was alright. Not much food options at all. Rather get something from outside. Drinks are way overpriced. But in nyc, what places isnt.? U know. Other than that, had an alright time.

Acts were very good. Staff were friendly. However due to admin I got messed around a bit.

Rats jump ship.

Love this little comedy club! Check them out on groupon, they are always running good deals.

Excellent comedians. Very funny and a great place to laugh and have a good time. The drinks are expensive though

Great place, owner was very nice. Comics were all unique. Small intimate setting.

The comedian are super funny. It was worth going

Cozy place.. get there early for better tables. Loved it

Good venue - two drink (or $18) min

The stand up eve wasnt what I expected. Few good comments to start with, but didnt get the promissed laughs. The stand up got into in pretty serious talks about politics and life towards the end.The service was fine. I wish the girl who sold us the tickets would warn us that 18$ drink per person during the show is a must.We bought tickets at Times Square, but would get them for a lower price online (we discovered that later).

Had a great time with lots of laughs.

Its a fun night out with drinks and friends. Its worth checking out if youre on the west side. A more relaxed setting than the other comedy bars downtown. Great place to go have some drinks and see a show during summer when its sweltering. Just beware: drinks are not cheap.

Great comedians!! I love coming here!! Definitely worth checking out and the drinks are amazing!!! Great waitstaff!!! Laurel is absolutely amazing at her job!!!

This place is amazing great atmosphere and I had an amazing time at a special comedy show event.

Hilarious comedians and great service!

Fantastic show! Learned about this comedy club from their website, and it did not disappoint. I wanted to see Joe List and Mark Normand, so I went on the website, found out when they were performing, and had a great time. The wait staff, bartenders and manager were very inviting and nice, and made my night wonderful. Comics were hilarious too! I would definitely recommend this club and definitely will be going again!

Hilarious! Went to the unwashed comedy show. Was a little nervous with some of the reviews being so negative--but was not disappointed. All of the comedians were funny. Yes the drinks were expensive--but NYC is expensive in general, so not a surprise. Plus as soon as you check in, when the waitress comes to say hi, AND when the MC/host comes on the stage, they make it every clear there is a 2 drink ($18) min per person. Its also written In multiple locations (along with the fact that tax isnt included on the menus and an 18% service charge is put in your tab). These angry people just must not be literate or just plain old grumpy. I quite enjoyed myself, along with the rest of the audience. Highly recommended. Note: Im a real person and was not paid or endorsed (or what not) to write this review. Genuinely funny. :)

Hilarious line up. Great service. Delish cocktails. If youre looking for an entertaining night at a great price look no further!

The show was great but I will never go back nor recommend it! The worst cocktails ever. They charge you $15 per cocktail which comes in a small cup with barely any alcohol. It was like juice. You dont taste any alcohol, you dont feel it either. (That means a lot since my limit is like 2 beer) The canned beer which was $10 did more than the cocktail. Honestly, being cheap with the amount of vodka they put in the cocktail made me more mad than the price. Smh. Also everyone should check their bills because the 18% service charge is a LIE. They charge you more than that. >:( CHECK YOUR BILLS PEOPLE!!

To feel like a laughing come here great open mics an awesome shows

Bought tickets for a client last week and it couldnt have gone better. The staff was incredible and the show was great. To top it all off, Amy Schumer showed up! Really great experience.

Cozy, intimate place, perfect place for comedy and laughter

Has great comedians.

Went to 3 shows while visiting and this was by far the best. The comedians were hilarious and we had a great time. While there, George Wallace made a guest appearance which was really awesome. Other than the lack of room, I had no complaints. Highly recommend if you want to go to a cheap comedy show.

I love love love this club! Its always my go-to for a laugh in the city. Not only are the comedians hilarious AND seen on TV, the drinks are delicious and the service is really great. I recommend this club to anyone looking to have a fun break from work, or just wanting a good night out on the weekend. Im taking more friends there next time! 5 stars!!

Had great fun watching guys from WhatCulture WWE. Nice place and friendly staff.

Dont even bother going to NYC its a waste of time and money. All the money you will spend there you could buy round trip tickets to Nashville, get a 5star hotel and walk the streets of Nashville see a bunch of awesome talent for free drink good cheap music city beer and ride on bicycle bars and so much more. All while spending the same or less as you would in NYC! Simply just dont go to new York! The people suck, the air sucks, their prices suck. So not worth it!

I stumbled across this comedy club while out with friends. We werent sure of what to expect, but decided to give it a chance. The beer selection was great, the staff was friendly, and the comedians were all hilarious! We will definitely be returning.

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)Food: Good.Considering I ordered standard pub food: buffalo chicken wings and fries.Drinks: Great.Space: This is a very intimate comedy club (read: youll be on top of each other :)). The tables are all set up wrapping around the stage with a more lounge type setting on the elevated level towards the back. It is the perfect layout for mixing and mingling, date nights, and get-togethers. The stage is small and the comedians (new and seasoned) like getting audience participation. So regardless of where youre sitting you will be involved in the routine. :) The main entrance has a nice cozy bar where you can chat up seasoned comedians before they go up.Scene: Singles Scene. Date night. Comedy club.Crowd: 30-40s locals, tourists, and all around people that dont mine audience participation.Service: Bar staff and servers are courteous. It does get packed and service tends to slow down a little when performers are on.

Relaxed pleasant environment to sample some stand up comedians of the future. Help them grow by giving them an audience while they are still perfecting their craft.

The comics were good, not great, but good. This place was never cheap, but now its a rip off. They are cash only all of a sudden, shoved in more tables to make it even more crowded and charge an 18% service fee to an already hefty $18 food/drink minimum. I enjoyed this place once, but will not be going back. The only acceptable time to come here is if for some reason you NEED to see a comedy show on the upper west side. Otherwise, go to Comedy Cellar or do something else.

Good comedians. Tasteful, yet adult humor. Very nice time!

Small comedy club. Seats maybe 50. The small environment made for a more personal comedy show.

This place is the best! It has a really fun, yet cozy vibe and they always have the funniest comedians and the service is great! You can tell that the staff really loves what theyre doing. I love coming here!

I liked the place, lots of quality comedians coming on to trial new material or just starting out. Every time i travel to NY i try to drop by and every time i have good laughs! You have to enjoy stand up comedy though, because you never know when the jokes directed at the public land on you :)

Very good comedy for the price

I had such a good time here the comedians in the line up were all really funny and good at handling the hecklers (there is always that one table, unfortunately). The drinks here are AWFUL though, theres a drink minimum but everything is so, so watered down. But thats not the reason you go to a comedy club anyway, just wanted to provide a fair warning. Great staff!

Wasnt super funny but we also got to see a good podcast

Cannot say enough great things about this place. Great staff and drinks. Easy access to public transportation (1 Train Station on 79th and Broadway) Comedy is top notch. Mixed in with TV and Movie comics are the comics behind the scenes that write the jokes. If you like smart and crafted comedy this is the place.

Decent line up of comics when I went. 2 of 5 were solid. The rest gave me a few chuckles, but no one bombed which was nice. Losing two stars based on the way seating is done. How about one less table per row so Im not sitting on the strangers lap next to me. $20 ticket plus $18 drink min. Pay all that money and you get to touch shoulders with two strangers.

Nice and funny comedians but the sri ks are way over priced and no food on Fridays apparently

I love Stand Up NY!! Everyone is nice. The drinks are fantastic and the comedy is great!!! Its a quaint setting with a good view of the stage from every angle when youre behind the curtain. Not like the Wizard of Oz, but it is magical some nights!!

Great spot to grab a drink and hear some funny comics. Intimate setting with a neighborhood feel. Staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend for a night out.

Amazing show with hilarious comedians. We went here and were able to see Judah Friedlander and four comics beforehand who were also great. Obviously some were better than others, but overall a great experience!

Hole in the wallno food overpriced drinks

Very modern take on a comedy club. With new and up coming comics. Great for a weekend chill session, with friends.

Cozy place, courteous and efficient waiting staff. Been there a couple times, and was not satisfied at all with the show. It would be OK if the cover fee + min consumption was not as expensive as other places such as Comedy Cellar.

A Great place to see a comedy show.

I was visiting the big apple when I saw this place. I love comedy and this isnt a complaint about that. The owner should be in jail, his complete refusal for proper instructions and high prices are short of a crime. I would tell everyone who does to NY to never even pass that street. I cant even discuss the amount of money I, alone, had to pay in the bar, completely separate from the actual show, because it was too high. I would give this place a 0 if I could

Awesome comedy club

Very funny show- well taken care of and all around great time

This is the most overpriced spot. Imagine if they didnt charge a roll of quarters for a bottle of cheap beer.The venue looks like a hoarders garage full of half broken chairs.The comedians were average at best.The server looked like she hated her job and life.

This place is AWFUL!! Do not go!! 4 out of 6 comedians were terrible!! One ran off the stage he was so bad. And thats only the start. The place is really sleezy and run down. $15 a ticket isnt bad, but what they dont tell you is.. its a two drink minimum. None of us (I was with two other people) drink alcohol. No problem they said. We order two waters and four fountain sodas. The bill was $60!!!!!! This place is a scam. What they dont tell you is its not a two drink minimum.. its an $18 minimum per person!!!! $60 for two waters and 4 sodas. Were disgusted and never going back. We hope this place shuts down. 0 out of 5 stars.

Nice venue well run great talent, prices a little high for drinks but this is NYC I will return discounts available on Groupon and Goldstar ease the pain

I love this club, its one of the oldest in NYC but keeps a fresh look, was recently renovated and it looks great! From entrance to exit the whole experience was a true NY comedy experience. Great people, great comedians.

Funny comedians, a decent set up for a low key night and the staff is very helpful. The drinks are very sweet with little too no alcohol content so Id stick with beers but otherwise its a great time.
