New York City is home to some of the world’s most famous comedians and comedy clubs. Located within 30 minutes of the Upper West Side, here are three comedy clubs to check out in NYC this month.

Stand Up NY

Address: 236 W 78th St, Upper West Side

Featuring big-name celebrity comedians and up-and-comers, Stand Up NY on the Upper West Side has become a mainstay of the neighborhood since 1986 when it first opened its doors. Check Stand Up NY’s calendar of upcoming shows early and often to catch some of the best acts in the city, including Chris Rock and Amy Schumer. Learn more about Stand Up NY.

Comedy Cellar

Address: 117 MacDougal St, Greenwich Village

The Comedy Cellar is one of the most famous comedy clubs in the city, and for good reason. Located in Greenwich Village, it’s just a short subway ride from the Upper West Side and has been somewhat of a launching pad for some of the most famous comedians in the country. If you’ve ever seen a comedian on TV standing in front of a brick wall with a stained glass sign, that’s the Comedy Cellar. Learn more about the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village.

Gotham Comedy Club

Address: 208 W 23rd St, Chelsea

Attracting regulars like Marlon Wayans and Orlando Jones, Chelsea’s Gotham Comedy Club is another great spot where you’ll find some of the best comedians in NYC.  Featuring New Talent Showcase nights, comedians who are working on their chops and growing their following can sign up and perform. If, however, you want to hear the more polished comedians stop in for Gotham All Stars, which run Thursdays through Saturday. Learn more about Gotham Comedy Club.
