    Went Saturday night to the 7pm show. Friendly staff, some very funny comedians (a couple not so funny) and then Chris Rock turned up.as the final act of the evening which was good.
    We ordered nachos which weren't great and it is very compact so not really comfortable to eat at your table.
    An enjoyable evening though and worth a visit if in New York

    We attended the Gotham All Stars Show and it was loads of fun. Very good comedians and attentive wait staff for drinks and snacks.

    I have been to NYC many times but have never ventured to see a comedy show.

    My daughter tried to get us into The Comedy Cellar but unfortunately no seats.

    We had a great night here it being our first night of a four day getaway.

    The comics were a mix of different styles all great !

    You have to come and see for yourself it was a fun night .

    IRTE IS BACK AT THE PRODUCER’S CLUB!! You can see a Broadway show for $150 or more per person -- or you can visit this off, off Broadway venue (right in the heart of the theatre district!) and get an evening full of entertainment for only $20-25 bucks! The Producer’s Club is one of the best kept secrets in New York City – only it’s not a secret to veteran theatre folk, those developing new acts and plays, or those who use one of its small, comfortable theatres as a showcase spot. An iconic spot in midtown Manhattan, at 358 West 44th Street, New York, NY 10036, it’s where you can see repertory troupes, such as IRTE: the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble and their season of hilarious, improvised shows, each themed and cast with seriously funny folk who can bring you a load of entertainment and laughs for a small fraction of what other NYC shows cost. The Club has several different small theatres and most importantly, a well-stocked bar! Patrons are also permitted to bring their drinks from the bar into the individual theatres. The only drawback of The Producer’s Club is that it is not wheelchair accessible. But enter on 44th Street, right off Ninth Avenue, where you are also in the thick of theatre district restaurants for dinner or snacks before or after a show. The new IRTE show of the 2024 Fall season is “REMOTE,” conceived and directed by Robert Baumgardner and starring IRTE regulars: Evie Aronson, Nannette Deasy, Todd Exler, Natalie Hunter, Sam Katz and Jamie Maloney, and featuring live music by John Munnelly. THIS FULLY IMPROVISED SHOW will run Fridays & Saturdays, November 9, 10, 15, 16, 22, 23 & December 6 & 7, 2024, and runs from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tickets $20 Online or $25 Cash Only at the Door. Season Passes and Group Discounts Available. Google IRTE (Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble) for tickets and more information. Parental discretion is advised as “improv” can be … well …spontaneous!

    We usually go to the Comedy Cellar when in NYC, but decided to try the Stand this time. It's a very nice club, with good food and cocktails, with less cramped seating than the CC. The show is in the basement, while there's a restaurant and bar on the ground floor. There's lots of space to hang out in the upstairs bar and have a drink, while waiting for the doors to open for the show, which happens about 15 mins prior. You can order food while watching the show, or make a reservation for the restaurant upstairs for dinner before the show. The comedians were good overall, the final one making me laugh so hard I cried. Great way to end the night, so we'll definitely be back! BTW, they also offer a show in the restaurant upstairs and on the patio when the weather is good, but the main show is in the basement.

    The show was fantastic! I had so much fun there. The comedians were all lovely, each one made me laugh, and some of them made me laugh really hard. However, the 18 gratuity on top of 25 entrance fee for a Tuesday night seems a bit excessive in comparison to the competition. Also, waitress going around interrupts the show, particularly when you have to pay as an act is on.

    We took our teens (17 & 19) with us to see ASSSSCAT 3000. The show can get racy at times, but nothing they haven’t heard in an R-rated movie. We enjoyed the improv comedy, both for the laughs and because it was interesting to see how the comedians work through it. The price for tickets is right. They serve alcoholic drinks for a fair price. The neighborhood isn’t great.

    Went to see Greg Valentine and he was pretty funny. He interacted with the audience. Our waitress came around once. Didn’t see her the rest of the night. We kept asking the other waitress to get us drinks and food.

    Huge shout out to the comics who performed the night I got to go. They were truly phenomenal. I've been to several comedy clubs, and most are worth a chuckle or two, but this place had us in stitches. I can't credit the mandatory booze you must purchase, either, since none of us could even taste the alcohol. So, 5000 stars for the entertainment; 0 stars for the horrible overpriced (non)alcoholic drinks.

    I enjoyed the entire experience! The comedian was very funny. There was a good variety of seats so if you do not like being in the front, you do not have to be. The servers were attentive. Food is reasonably priced and yummy. The bar area is really nice. Get there early so you can enjoy the atmosphere!

    We went to see Zarna Garg last Friday night. Hilarious. The club has a super convenient location with a parking garage RIGHT next door, small easy venue, and I owe a huge shout out to the comedian/manager Felicia who responded to my Instagram message and found my expensive new sunglasses that I left at the table and set them aside for my son to pick up! Hope to be back soon!

    My husband and I were given tickets to Tom Shillue show. The show was wonderful . My issue is with the changes that are now the new normal for Wise Guys. Dinner used to be a sandwich ( burger etc) with fries . Now the sandwiches and the fries are 2 separated charges. Which is now mare expensive. We ordered specialty drinks and normally were would receive the glasses the drinks came in after they were washed out but now you have to pay for them. Normally before the main comedian there are 1 or 2 comedians . The comedian started at 6pm and ended at 7:30.. Normally we would be out by around 9pm. Tom Shillue was great , I just don't think we will be going again..

    The place it’s self is nice, the comedy acts last weekend were not as good as I had hoped. The show started a little late and one of the comedic acts should have not bothered to be on stage at all. The seats we had were way off to the side, hard to see for sure. Not every seat is great.

    Great places! We had a good time and a great laugh. It is very refreshing comparing to the other comedy club in Manhattan. I recommand it for a fun evening in Brooklyn.

    We booked a show with local talents. The booking process was simple and quick online. The atmosphere at the bar was lively before the show, with most comedians chatting with the attendees. The show was fast paced and I liked almost all comedians. A nice experience while being in New York as a tourist.
