Make sure to reserve tickets in advance. Best comedy show in new york. Well organized. Good price. Cool Rooms. Cell phones get put into a bag to create more appropriate setting. Drinks and food were also good.

We decided that we fancied seeing some comedy impromptu. We didn't think we had much of a chance, but we headed over to Comedy Cellar an hour before kick-off. We were added to a wait-list and told to come back as the show started. Anyone who would think our chances were slim (including myself) would be wrong! So a word of advice; this actually works. The comedy itself was fantastic, it was a quality line-up with some semi famous names. You're required to drink 2 drinks each, which wasn't a problem, and the service was excellent. They confiscate your phones and watches on entry which is a nice touch too. To our surprise when we left, almost 2 hours had passed. I'm already planning my next visit.

Dave Attell was doing a benefit for my Temple. I walk with a cane as I have very poor vision, in addition I am 92. When I arrived and I saw all the steps, I became nervous. One of the Security personnel came over to me and said, "D'ont worry, I will get you to the elevator". He stayed with me and took me to my seat. After the show, he came back to take me upstairs. He even waited for me to use the Restroom. The show was excellent and there was no "pushing" of drinks and food. This is definitely a keeper.

We didn't see any big names but everyone we saw was funny. They put your phone in a case but you get to keep it and they will play funny clips ahead of time so you'll be entertained. Seated quickly with good organization close to the stage.

This was a massive ticket item I crossed off my bucket list. The venue is absolutely fantastic and the staff is very friendly. I was surprised with the quality of the food — chicken kebab was great, and the french fries were delicious and abundant. Coming in solo, I had to share a table with someone that also came alone. I was very lucky that I landed with someone that was nice and was also there for the show.. not everyone's cup of tea but it did work for me. ARRIVE EARLY so that you can get good seats.

First, you line up outside around the corner on the side street. They give you an envelope and all phones need to be sealed in the envelope. You get to hold the envelope, so your phone is always with you. They just want to attempt to ensure you don’t use it during the show. You then enter and are placed in a rather tight area while the server tries to quickly take orders before the show starts. It’s a 2-drink minimum, but those 2 drinks can be bottled water, for example. Including the host, we saw 6-7 comedians. One was from SNL and one I had seen on America’s Got Talent. Two were very funny – nonstop laughing, one was not funny and the rest were average – some laughs here and there. All in all it was a great time and I’d go back.

I just made an online reservation for the Comedy Cellar, and received email confirmatiion. However, there was no online payment. Do you pay when you arrive? Seems odd, and I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

So much fun! I really wanted to go to the 11:30 show but was a bit hesitant going solo as a female tourist. The surrounding area is bright and lively at 11:30 and everyone at the Cellar was so friendly. They put me by other people flying solo so it was nice to have others to chat with while seated before the show. So happy I came to this historic spot, I had a really great time.

If you love to laugh and you want to have an iconic New York experience then you need to go to the Comedy Cellar. The Village Underground is their main stage and The Fat Black Pussycat is their other stage attached upstairs. They also have another venue close by and we've had a great time at all of them, but the late show at the Village Underground on a Saturday night has always been an epic experience for us because typically a celebrity comic will show up as a surprise and treat you to new material they're working on or just want to get back on a stage and make you belly laugh! This is a 5 star awesome New York thing to do!!!

Fun night - our family (with two college sons) reserved space by phone earlier in the week for a Saturday 6:45 show at the MacDougal site. Arrived by 6:20, and no problem with seats. Staff is efficient at assigning tables, taking orders, etc and was so nice to bag up our phones for a while! The host and all comedians in this set were very funny and entertaining, and while the seating/tables is "intimate" we were still comfortable and delighted with our experience. You gotta try it!! Hope to return on another trip back to NYC!
