People that love stand up comedians must pay a visit to New York City, as it is the best place in the world to see a show. Not only does NYC have more venues than almost any other metropolis in the world, but it also has some of legendary places where so many great performers got their start. Those going to the Big Apple should check out these comedy clubs NYC for great laughs in a great venue.

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.

The upper west side has plenty of entertainment but one of the best places to laugh is Stand Up NY. This freshly renovated club is regularly listed as one of the best in the city by both audiences and performers. They have newcomers and big name acts so there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

One of the most unique comedic experiences a person can have is at The Duplex, an eccentric venue known for its cheesy cabaret and piano bar. This quirky spot gets a lot of great young performers and also regularly has drop ins from well known stars. Since this is where many NYC comedians go their start, it is still likely that someone famous will be in the audience.

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.

There are many great comedy clubs NYC, so people who enjoy stand-up should explore on their own. They might just find the next big talent or a venue that could some day be one of the legendary ones. Either way, New York City is the best place in the world to see comedians to their thing due to the great number of venues located throughout the city.
