Stand Up NY

Comedians were decent, enjoyed the show. However, the $18 drink per person rule is ridiculous because the drinks are TINY. You pay $16 per drink and barely get 150 milliliters. It's truly ridiculous. Just raise the prices for the tickets and sell normal-sized drinks for normal prices. The way it is right now is just an annoying way of making the tickets $20 more expensive.

Other comedy clubs in the city can do it, so you can as well.

I’m not writing this review for customers as much as I am for the venue. I’ve been a long time stand up ny fan. I go to comedy shows all over the city but stand up ny has been my “home” club. During covid I was delighted by the outdoor shows and went multiple times. Lately I’ve been surprised how awful the talent has been. The shows are so cringe and people are laughing out of pity. It feels like they can’t fill the time slots so they just get any volunteers who want a break. This happened in the beginning of the summer but I gave it another chance last weekend and there were 11 people in the audience. The show wasn’t tolerable but I stayed out of respect. I don’t know why the club has gone from amazing to this. I know they fill the venue when it’s a “special” guest but for their daily/ weekly shows they can’t continue like this. I want to see the club thrive and come back to its “glory” days so I’ll keep supporting but it’s truly embarrassing to watch their shows lately. Good luck!

I have been going to shows at Stand Up NY for over 30 years! Every time I go I have a good time. In addition to funny comedians, the staff is super nice. And if you get there at the right time, you can even meet some famous people! Looking for a fun night out on the Upper West Side? Stand Up NY is a no brainer!

Had an AMAZING night on Friday. Got to see 8 stellar comedians in one show, with a celebrity appearance (Ronnie from Daily Show). While it would have been nice to get a drink a bit earlier while sitting and waiting, the servers were super nice and friendly and efficient considering only 2 of them and crowded venue. The night’s flow was good, comedy excellent, vibe/ambiance perfect. Laughed a ton, so that’s what counts.

Live near this place, went in for a show tonight (Saturday) that was being taped. I’ve been to a handful of shows, some are great, some are less so. That’s life. That’s comedy. This show definitely had some awesome comedians and great acts but the guy running it was brutal. It was being taped and the host wanted us to laugh and clap on command. He was doing little hand signs, just very forced. So uncomfortable. We got our check at intermission so we could bail and the server berated us for leaving because she would need to fill the table. But we were in the far back and there were plenty of open tables. This seems like a great club, the drinks were good, the decor was decent, and I bet with other hosts on other nights it’s great, but it wasn’t tonight. If I come back and it’s different, I’ll update this but for now, two stars is the best I can do.

We went on a monday evening, a free night found on Eventbrite. Being from Belgium and English not being our native language, we were not sure we would “get” everything. We were wrong, we had a blast. Staff was super friendly. I dont’t know about some other reviews, but our tab was spot on.
And the comedians were superb, really bravo!
Will definitely recommend to people, thanks for the great night out!

The venue is spacious, plenty of seating options and one of the few comedy clubs in upper west sides. Friendly staff and excellent service.
The line up were amazing which concluded with Erik Scott who was super talented and pro.
Had a good laugh, will definitely come back to this spot.

Arrive early. Seating can fill pretty quickly. Often times there may be a drink minimum or admission cost but worth the comedy you will see. Two shows are often available as well- One that starts at 8pm and one at around 11I believe. An enjoyable night out.
