The 10 Best Comedy Clubs in Downtown Manhattan (Downtown), New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Greenwich Village comedy club.
Reviewed By hugomC112UH - Tampa, United States
This is probably the greatest comedy club in the world. Always a fantastic line up. Some very well known comics, some lesser known. I've been there when Chris Rock & Aziz Ansari dropped in announced. The regular line up are always stellar, Gary Gulman, Joe List, Joe Machi & Attell always kills.

Enjoyed last night's improv show with the Daily Show writers. They asked the audience for strange/unusual things that had recently happened to them and then the show was built around those things. They went pretty crazy with a story about Krispy Kreme donuts:-) Show was just under 1 hour - wish it had been longer!
