Comedy Shows in New York
Comedy in New York runs most nights of the week across Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Bushwick — stand-up bills, improv, open mics and work-in-progress sets from touring acts. Rooms are small, so tickets move quickly.
Updated August 24, 2026
Comedy is New York's reliable weeknight option. Bills around Brooklyn and Williamsburg change constantly — mixed stand-up nights, improv teams, open mics where the running order is decided on the night, and work-in-progress shows where touring comics test material before a tour. Rooms are deliberately small, which is what makes them good and also what makes them sell out.
