About this Event

This month's show features:
Danielle Slaughter (Good Vibes Comedy Festival)
Wayne Charles II (Comedy at Alke)Kofi Thomas (Amazon Prime)
Pat Bryne (WFMU)Dajon Alford (Nothin’ But Anthems)
Matthew Silver (Idiot's Hour)
Join our community of hilarious comedians (from HBO, Netflix, Comedy Central - and more!) for a night of heartwarming absurdity as they bring you their joke experiments in the most exciting new joke show from NYC... that's also a Time Out New York pick!


Audience members have said that it feels like a "communal experience" that's "quirky and alive" and "if a tourist happens to find it they're lucky."

Here are some other words from our audience members:

  • "Good vibes. Good food. Good comedy."
  • "Witty, creative, and inclusive to everyone in a loving environment."
  • "Hilariously inappropriate, yet kind."
  • "You get to go behind the curtain on how comedians make their work."

F.A.Q.

Can I be one of the "first time comedians? Sure. [email protected] we'll set you up.

Can I come alone? Yes! Here's what a recent audience member said about that: "Definitely a good atmosphere for a solo person, everyone was very welcoming and friendly but also not overwhelming."

What kind of comedy is presented? Mostly standup, as well as a character act or two. We include a diverse array of comedians experimenting with different ways to present standup. Audiences have loved this aspect of the show. Audience members have described it as:

  • "Fun. Spontaneous."
  • "Unhinged....in the best way!"
  • "Quirky and alive!"
  • "Fun way to spend an evening: laugh and get dinner."

Will comedians make fun of me? This room is positive-vibes only! As one audience members said point blank: "You won't be a target at this show."
