Comedians around the world want to make it to New York City because it is recognized as the best place for the art of stand up. This is because NYC has venues that are dedicated to the craft and continue to draw top names. There are many places to see a good show, but those looking for the best venues should check out these comedy clubs NYC.

Many comedians would agree that Carolines on Broadway is currently the premier venue in the city. Carolines is small and unassuming, and many comedians have commented on how much they enjoy this intimate feel. People who are keen to see such heavyweights as Louis CK and Chris Rock should pay Carolines a visit.

The Gotham Comedy Club is another New York City landmark for people that want to see the best comedians the world has to offer. Not only do they feature huge names in the stand-up world, but Gotham also regularly features new up and coming acts at their New Showcase. With a swanky, theater-like interior, Gotham is a favorite of everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to performers still doing open mic nights.

The Comedy Cellar is a venue that is known for its lack of frills and as a place where anyone might make an appearance. What makes the Cellar great is that comedians will try out new material there, so the audience might get treated to the latest routine by someone they love. This is the spot where comedians hang out or just drop by unannounced.

Stand Up NY is another popular venue, especially among people that live on the upper west side. It has been recently renovated, so people that knew this place from the beginning may not believe how far it has come. Stand Up NY regularly attracts big names and newcomers alike, so it is a great place to check out an old favorite or a fresh face in the industry.

For a more eclectic night out people should visit The Duplex. This venue has a campy cabaret feel to it, complete with piano bar and cheesy decor that offers one of the most unique experiences in the city. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, The Duplex gets famous comedians on a regular basis.

A great way to see a wide array of comics is to pay a visit to the New York Comedy Festival. Not only will people get treated to some of the best stand ups in the city, but artists from around the country come to make people. This multi day event is perfect for connoisseurs of the art, as there plenty of shows to attend.

These are just a few great comedy clubs NYC, so lovers of comedy should seek out other venues on their own. The city is the capital of stand up so new discoveries are being made every day. So get out there and have a fun night out.
