New York City is arguably the comedy capital of the world. From stand-up performances in arenas that seat thousands to improv shows in small underground spots, there’s no shortage of comedy, seven nights a week.

 

Here are some of the best venues in NYC that are worth that two drink minimum.

Carolines - 1626 Broadway
An institution in the comedy scene for the past 30 years, Carolines has established itself as a leading destination for live entertainment by continuously presenting headliners and introducing new talent. Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and Jay Leno can credit Carolines with giving them their start in comedy. Home of the successful New York Comedy Festival, Carolines is the place to be to see some of the biggest (and funniest!) names in showbiz.
 

Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre - 307 W. 26th St. (Chelsea location)/153 East 3rd St. (East Village location)
While stand-up comedy is the traditional form that New Yorkers are used to, UCB is best known for improv and sketch. Started by Saturday Night Live alum, Amy Poehler and her funny friends, UCB theatre is the most intimate and gritty way to see big names and rising stars, up close and personal. At any given point, expect for a super famous star to pop into the underground theatre and hop on stage. The shows are cheap but the laughs are big!
 

Gotham Comedy Club - 208 West 23rd St.
You may already recognize the Gotham stage background from appearing in various television shows and movies. Since it’s doors opened in 1996, Gotham quickly made a name for itself, bringing big acts like Dave Chapelle, Lewis Black and Colin Quinn to the stage. This is one of the best places to see a show, as it’s swanky, yet intimate ambiance, provides the audience with the feel of being at a Broadway show.
 

Comedy Cellar - 130 West 3rd St.
Known as the comic’s club, the Comedy Cellar is a no-frills venue where comedians come to try out their new material. On any given night you might expect to see Dave Attell or Jim Norton hitting the stage to work out a new routine. Louis C.K. counts this club as his go-to spot, both in real life and on his hit show, Louie. If you’re planning on hitting this Greenwich Village hot spot on the weekends, don’t forget to make a reservation-- shows sell out quickly!
 

Before you get your laugh on, why not make a night of it? Plan some dinner and drinks prior to the show and let Dynasty Limo take care of your transportation needs. For information on availability or to make a reservation, contact us at 631-587-8500.

So while you’re planning your summer excursions we wanted to round up some of the best fests, courtesy of TimeOut.com, to look forward to in the upcoming months:

Electric Daisy Carnival - Saturday May 24th - Sunday May 25th
MetLife Stadium, NYC

Artists: Tiesto, Hardwell, Nero, Bassnectar, and more

The Governors Ball Music Festival - Friday June 6th - Sunday June 8th
Randall’s Island, NYC
"If a verified tropical storm that brought monsoon-like rain and several feet of mud couldn’t dampen spirits at Gov Ball last year, we’re pretty sure nothing can."
Artists: Outkast, Disclosure, Grimes, Chance the Rapper, Skrillex, and more

Northside Festival - Thursday June 12th - Thursday June 19th
McCarren Park, Brooklyn
"In the five years since it began, this hip summer fest has gone from a showcase for up-and-coming acts to a Brooklyn version of SXSW, with concerts, a film festival and an "innovation" component for techies."
Artists: Sharon Van Etten, Courtney Barnett, Titus Andronicus, Omar Souleyman, Beach Fossils and more

River to River Festival - Thursday June 19th - Sunday June 29th
Lower Manhattan, NYC
"An inviting, musically adventurous music series in New York City—located, incongruously, among the skyscraper alleys and shuttered-after-6pm storefronts of downtown Manhattan. Believe it or not, it works."
Artists: Bang on a Can Marathon, ETHEL, Kaki King and more

Celebrate Brooklyn! - Thursday June 12th - Sunday August 17th
Prospect Park, Brooklyn
"SummerStage may be bigger and better-known, but Celebrate Brooklyn! has been around for much longer. And yes, it's worth the trek to Brooklyn—not least because the Bandshell's a beaut."
Artists: Janelle Monaé, Neutral Milk Hotel, The National, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Central Park SummerStage - Sunday June 29th - Saturday August 30th
Central Park, NYC
"Taking in a concert at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield is as essential a summer-in-New-York activity as a trip to Rockaway Beach."
Artists: Beck, Conor Oberst, Counting Crows
