Charles McBee is a razor-sharp NYC stand-up comedian, writer, and unapologetic 80s/'90s baby from Toledo, Ohio, serving up nostalgia with a side of truth. Whether he's breaking down the wild logic of gym class dodgeball or reminding you what it meant to record songs off the radio without your mom yelling in the background, Charles brings hilarious, heartfelt commentary about growing up in a pre-WiFi world straight to the stage.
He’s made three national appearances on Gotham Comedy Live, was a standout on FOX’s Laughs and Punchline (Seasons 1 & 2), and has written for everything from VH1's Hip Hop Honors to the 2020 VMAs and the 2021 Golden Globes. He most recently served as Head Writer for Comedy Central’s Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God, earning a Writers Guild Award nomination, and was a creative consultant on Nick Cannon’s Wild' N Out.
Charles has also built a dedicated social media following with his no-holds-barred takes on pop culture, politics, and the beautiful chaos of growing up in the analog era.
If you’ve ever eaten a microwave dinner on a folding tray table, feared getting caught in a game of freeze tag, or lived through dial-up internet, Charles has a joke for you. Come see why his fans keep coming back.
Preferred Seating tickets guarantee seating directly in front of the stage. Limited PS tickets available.*
Be on time... If you have not arrived at the venue 30 minutes after the start of showtime, your tickets will be cancelled and your seat may be sold to the next customer. No refunds will be given under this circumstance. Empire Comedy Club reserves this right on all ticketed events.
