Comic Strip Live

Upper East Side


Big names Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres have all performed at this club. Not recently, maybe, but you’re sure to find somebody cribbing their acts here most nights. With high prices for food and drinks you may not be laughing when you see the bill. Reservations required.
