Funny as anything are the comedians in this placeLaughed my heart out and overall had an awesome night out. Bought last minute tickets which was risky but would definitely recommend going because you never know who you’ll see on stage of in the audienceMany big names got their first break hereLove this place.

Great comedy venue with a really good vibe. Good natured with a lively crowd and attentive staff. Drinks were a bit pricey ($12 for a bottle of lager) and there is a 2 drink per person minimum

Great comics & atmosphere. We went for my husbands birthday and had a blast! They were very accommodating and the comics were spot on! We would love to go again!!

Had a great time, some comedians are hilarious! Just not very please with the mandatory 2 drinks policy. Maybe they can charge cover which includes 2 drinks instead. Rather than $20 for cover, and another $20 for drinks. Just a simple $40 with drinks included.

Such a fun time here! The comics were great:)

Its just a great NYC comedy club. The environment is fun and we went when there were over 10 comics doing their sets. Some were amazing and there were some that need to find a new line of work. But thats part of the charm.

Tell you theres no business in comedy and most of them wont make it but keep you a spot just so they can tell you time ran out and its better to come back again. 21$ for 2 drinks aint bad though.

Bottom line: if you like stand up, youll have a great time. Even saw a bunch of known comedians!Gluten line: drinks only, food is simple and totally not safe.Long line: as a fan of stand up, I had a blast here. Some of the comedians Ive even seen before so it was a real treat seeing them perform in person. Do understand that even if you get discounted tickets, they make their money with a 2 drink minimum, which is strictly enforced. Even given that the price per person isnt terrible for what you get, and Id personally return. As others mentioned, most comedians will roast, so be prepared, specially if you sit really close.

Solid comedy club on the upper east side. Ticketing system is good and the comics put in their all. However, prices can be pretty high on the drinks and the food. Beware the two drink minimum, which is in addition to your ticket (that may be $25/person). They dont have an actual kitchen, so all of the food prepared is stuff thats just heated up, like pretzels, popcorn and nachos (chips out of a bag smothered in cheese sauce). Our bill was $125 for four people, in addition to the $113 we paid for the ticket, so was a pretty expensive night. All that said, we all laughed for most of the show!

Cool place with dope comedians. Will definitely return.

I had such a big laugh while at the Comic Strip. I take my hat off to all the comedians walking on stage, giving it their best. Recommend going at least ones. Worth 100 sit ups!!!

Late night New Years Eve show was way disappointing. In spite of selling tickets for Half price a full week leading up to NYE even though I paid full price, obviously they couldn’t sell out and they didn’t, came close though.The MC from down south was drunk and terrible. The rest okay, comedian from Brooklyn was good tho. Manager Evan promised 1/2 refund upon arrival and never did. Not cool. I live comedy but he’s the biggest joke of the night. Terrible , terrible NYE . I hope 2020 is better for us both. Just plain lousy.

First time going to a comedy show in person and the comics were awesome. Food and drinks a little pricey but I enjoyed myself. Please note if you are easily offended, dont go to a comic show. Had 2 sensitive people complain about one of the jokes. Just my advice. It ruins the show for everyone else.

LOVED the comedy line-up! Great service!The only drawback is the minimum two item order per person + the cover chargeImportant: get in early to get the good seats, otherwise you’ll be sitting in a far corner

Incredibly funny, very entertaining night out. Two drink min as standard in most New York comedy joints - great place for a date or group hangout.

Fun time with great comedians and good service. Would definitely go again!

I went to an open mic and there was a baby boomer comic waiting to go onHe found out that the host didnt work for the club and asked if hed be able to get into a show from the mic. The host said probably not and the baby boomer left without bussing his own glass. He seemed to think his wife or mom would do it. Neither showed up. None of them are getting on a show.

A great experience. Not the best in NY but still would recommend a visit if you are into comedy clubs.

This is one of the coolest comedy clubs I’ve been to in the city. The space is rather small which is perfect for a good comedy experience. When you walk in, the walls are filled with photos of all the greats who have performed there. We saw four comics, all of which were very unique and each fantastic. Tickets were reasonably priced and they have the typical two drink minimum. We went to the 8pm show— I would personally recommend the 10. I think that the audience makes a show and the 8pm was a lot less fun than than the 10pm shows I’ve been to in the past.

The only reason this place is only getting 4 stars is because the seating area is more than a little cramped. Otherwise, the drinks are decent, the comics are great and the environment is fun. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, which makes it an even greater experience. This was my second time there in the past few years and it did not disappoint.

We had great time and laughed A LOT!I dont get the complain about the price of the drinks over there. Its fair for New York.

Rappaport & Farley know what theyre doing. Good comic picks. Oldfangled decor. Foods steep but understandable.

The comedians was great. The lobster came out quick and it was good.

Always FunHello Richie Tienken.Fan of All The Good PeopleYouve showcased Uptown OverThese many years...thank You Doc

Great stand up comedy show with a mix of celebrities and starting comedians. Service is very pleasant, we loved that place!

Awesome club. Was lucky enough to see TJ Miller there. He is one of my favorites. The other comics on the show were fantastic though. The club itself has a certain level of divey dingy kitsch to it, that makes it feel antiquated and authentic at the same time. After a night of drinking, it works perfectly as a backdrop to your hazy rummy dream, as you try hard to remember specific jokes and account for how many cigarettes you smoked. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time. Funny show. Great staff and a real authentic New York in your fave comedy experience. Got to come here and laugh for yourself

Great comics play here from all the top TV shows. Cant wait for next time to see Leslie Jones (SNL) as she regularly gigs here. Table service was excellent and even the burger was delicious.

Depending on the show, this place can be lots of fun. Of you are in town and youre looking for some laughs I strongly suggest it. The two times we went there was a fun line up of comedians that I think will go on to have some awesome careers. It isnt too expensive for a night out either and a couple of drinks.

Comic strip live is very encouraging to young girls by providing them with an opportunity to be on stage in front of a live audience and instill confidence.

I get that comedy clubs can get busy, however the waiting staff completely forgot about our table, so we were unable to order food/drinks at the venue. On top of this, a live cockroach fell from the ceiling onto our table in the middle of the show. If you’re going to see comedy in nyc, stick to the comedy cellar, the ny comedy club, gotham comedy club, or Caroline’s on broadway

I went when Leslie Jones was on and she was hilarious! That being said, all the main comics were great. There was a $15 cover to go on a Wednesday plus a two drink minimum so it ends up being about $30 to go, at least. Not much in the way of food, just nachos, burger, hot dog, popcorn. Would recommend eating before you go there. They were very considerate about seating. I went by myself and was seated next to someone else there alone, near the back. A few minutes later they came back and apologized and offered us seats near the front if we wanted. Don’t sit right up front if you don’t want to be heckled. I was behind a row of people and was not picked on, thankfully.

Please tear this place down and make room for a good comedy club. Broken chairs sticky tablecloths $19 two drinks minimum unfunny Comics rude management and decor thats obviously seen better days

I turned out to be the star, seated in the audience, of the two events I attended. Of course I had a great time. Thank you. I was a statistic in a very good way on those dates.

Saw some awesome comedians! Vlad Caamaño, Lenny Marcus, Leslie Jones, and then some other guys that I hadnt heard of prior to show, but they were hilarious. With that said, Id only go to Comic Strip Live if I already knew the comedians that were doing a set, because the venue itself is not worth supporting.Made an account just to say how underwhelming the employees at the place were. Im happy to pay for tickets and a two-drink/item minimum even when the items are pricey (whats not in NYC? Its not a surprise), but if youre going to have those expectations in place, at least be cool to your customers. When a group of 7 of us got to the show, we asked at the bar in the front if the drinks ordered there counted towards the minimum. I, and the rest of the group, recall the bartenders and the man checking tickets saying yes to us.When we get in, our hostess tells us that the drinks ordered at the bar dont count. She says to us, I dont think they told you that. Okay, if there was a misunderstanding, fine, but to straight up call us liars left a bad taste in my mouth. I can give them the benefit of the doubt, but at least be somewhat apologetic. But considering how confrontational they were, and considering the lack of even a sign at the front saying drinks ordered at the bar dont count towards the minimum, I have to assume that was a reoccurring incident for them and is an intentional scam. So, Ill go back if I know the comedians, but I wont be stopping by otherwise.

Had a blast comedian were funny I will definitely go back

Love this place. Great shows and awesome staff

The oldest comedy club in NYC. Love this place! Four stars instead of five because the drinks and food are meh and on the pricey side but great lineups. Great venue.

One of the best comedy shows in town! If you dont mind staying late, do yourself a favor and stay until the closing, the not so experienced comedians show up and you become the only audience. Amazing experience and great service.

Great place, good atmosphere and funny comedians. The place is fairly small which makes it very intimate!! Check it out

This place is great!! Drinks are good but no choice of food

Amazingggggg & ofcouse the owner the host the staff & comedians especially Ruperto Vanderpool

Great place to bring a date or friends. Really funny comedians, great drinks, food is okay. But definitely worth visiting once. Had a great time with my girlfriend. We were called out a couple times and one comedian ditched his act and picked on us the whole time. It was awesome.

Classic comedy club that always has a great lineup and the pricing is affordable.

This place has expensive cocktails that is made so light you would think its juice. Some funny comedian so I rate it 2 starts.

The lineup was great we had a great time. The service was good.

Great comedy. Laughed for 2 hours. They serve burgers and nachos but the food is nothing to write home about. Come for the talent and drinks. Reasonable entry fee. 2 drink pp minimum

Throwback space that hosts a huge span of talent, from the elite to the just starting out and all in between. (Currently a) $20 cover charge, and of course drinks are movie-theater expensive -- like virtually any comedy club, theres a 2 drink/item minimum -- but thats the economics of comedy and paying for quality comedians. No bad seats, even the front row. Often, after the main comedians are done, there are a bunch of new comics trying to hone their tight five, and that part of the show is thrown in for free. Give the new folks a chance to work in front of an audience!

Great environment, good tasting drinks, comedy makes the night. Not a place to eat when youre hungry however. Their food choice goes from a simple burger to a chips and melted cheese called nachos. So if you get hungry when you drink make sure to bring some food. Haha.

You need to have enough money or have already eaten something as well drank something before going there thats just my experience on my visit there

My first time ever at a comedy club. My girlfriend and I got seats right up at the front and of course the compare picked her out the minute he got on stage lol. If you cant laugh at yourself though you shouldnt be there;)I wasnt counting but I figure around 20 minute sets from 5 comics - though one seemed put off by an audience member and ended after 5 minutes. Wish I could remember their names but the blonde woman who looked like Rollins from Law and Order SVU was good as was the Dominican guy and the last guy was the best of the night - sounded like Morgan Freeman lol. His joke about the alcoholic family member at Thanksgiving was classic.All in all a great night and something completely different for us. Thanks to all the great comics!

They were all awesome! Drinks took too long to come! Hire more waiter/waitresses or bartenders and you will make more money!

EverythingYo ADAM SANDLER

Amazing comedians, nice atmosphere. Less two stars because of the food but dont let the bad stop you from going. Just dont plan to eat there. If you must have the chips, get the sauce on the side.

I had such high hopes for the Open Mic, given that many of my favorite comedians have performed here. Sadly, it was very disappointing, both from an administrative point of view, and a comedy point of view. My boyfriend was promised a spot on stage, but instead, we paid 28 dollars to sit through two hours of very very mediocre comedians (with exceptions, some of the newer faces had talent), and my boyfriend never had a chance to be heard. I wont be coming back.

Good venue. We werent too sure when to turn up and the ticket said they may refuse entry if we were late so we arrived really early and it wasnt open yet. We knocked and the guys inside were really pleasant and told us that this was more of an requirement for Saturdays rather than early showing Friday.I probably drank more beer than I should have but we were trying to be as efficient with the two item minimum as possible and I could only eat so much popcorn (nice as it was).The comedians were great and we had a good night.

The three comedians we saw on the late night weren’t that great. Also there was a fight with a bouncer and one of the guests. I would recommend the earlier show if you do go.

Pretty great standup comic spot, get venue and the folks that run it are pretty awesome too. I usually come here once a month just to check things out

Hilarious comics. Great atmosphere. Go here if you love comedy.

Five hilarious comedians, excellent friendly waitress and staff, local and international audience. Full house!

Happy to give a 5 star rating when JIM NORTON has his picture placed on the wall.

This was my first time to a comedy show and what a great memory. The staff was polite, the talent was incredible, and I will definitely be there again in the near future.

Newcomers beware- This isnt the place to get your foot in the door. Although The Comic Strip is well known, the staff are not welcoming. The Open Mic I attended was basically an echo chamber of older sub-par comedians patting each other on the back. There was no audience, just other aspiring comedians waiting for their turn. I was told that there is a 7 dollar cover charge, but had to pay 14 dollars each for me and my girlfriend. The kicker? After being promised a spot a week in advance over the phone, I wasnt given an opportunity to speak.

Amazing food and drinks . Eggs Benedict are awesome . Friendly staff , specially our server Teisis . Made us feel like weve been friends for years .

I was worried when I didnt know any of the comedians. But everyone was hilarious! The drinks are also strong

Great acts! Michael Harrison was great!

Wanted to like this place coz they try hard to bring in punters but everything about it is unclassy and deceptive: two drink minimum is fair enough but what they dont tell you is that corona costs 13 dollars, tap water 10, and drinks at the bar dont count towards the two drink minimum. Surly waiting staff too...at a comedy bar. Is that supposed to be ironic? The comics were not funny on the Monday night but probably not helped by the overall feeling of a sham place . Really disappointing comedy club. Stick to the good quality comedy clubs in midtown or Brooklyn that dont cheat you.

Great drinks, one of a kind show... No one sees the same show twice!!Ask Honesty what the drink of the day is, this Saturday its the Eisenberg!!

Good show.... food is just something to chew on.

Loved it the comedians were crazy funny had me dying laughing had a great time for my birthday here

Pretty good lineup, we were there when Leslie Jones was performing and she was very funny.

Nice place to hangout with friends and family however, the drinks are kind of pricey. But overall, its a wonderful place for laughs.

Great local comedy club on the upper East side with a famous history. This club pulls in well-known comedians from around the country, so its worth checking out their website on a monthly basis to see who is on deck. Its located on 2nd Avenue just a few blocks from the 86th Street subway station, so getting there by Subway or car is quite easy.Be prepared to rub elbows with your fellow patron since this is a smaller venue and tends to get quite packed. I attended what appeared to be a sold-out or nearly sold-out show this past weekend, and while it was a bit crowded it was never uncomfortable and certainly was not a problem getting seating. The standard two drink minimum per person applies, and at New York prices this can be a bit expensive but well within what you would expect in NYC.

Very neat venue, and a must-see if you are a fan of comedy.

Attended the Joey Vega show recently. There was only speakers in the center, so anyone sitting off to the side could not here. So as the employee shushed everyone (quite often) for speaking, what else could they do, no one could hear the show! We did ask if he could speak louder, he cracked a funny about how we should’ve arrived earlier (in which we did). The popcorn machine was broken, and we were told they were purchasing bags of popcorn (which is understandable, it happens) BUT, the waitress gave us basically kernels and charged us for it!

Last night was my birthday. I came here with my brother and my partner to enjoy the night after a rough week at school and to show my older brother a good time. One of the comedians was asking if two girls would sleep with my partner Seriously And one of them gave a thumbs up. Luckily, we were at a comedy club, so I wasn’t going to try to start with some female. . . But these comedians need to not point out certain people it’s crazy! Anyway, an amateur comedian tried to s*** on me because I raised my hand when he asked who thought they were an A plus person. . . Then I said I do because I’m a mom, and he tried to say “oh your a mom, oh wow.” - So, we left. If you come here, prepare to get roasted all of the other comedians were awesome! besides that amateur one

Funny and good tasting drinks!

The New Yorks Funniest Reporter Show was amazing.Great staff and an amazing time.

Great show, which featured 5 comics. All were funny..

I had a blast. Laughed all night. Perfect and so much fun.

This place has a lot of big names come through and do spots, but my GOD does the food suck! And enough already with the “two item minimum” where you charge people ridiculous prices for garbage. Just charge a small flat fee on top of the ticket price to everyone who comes in and offer them -good- food at a good price, and you’ll probably make more money. When movie theaters have better food than your comedy club, you have some soul searching to do.

Good place always a good time . even when its a low house count. Good times

Went to Comic Strip with a few friends for the Friday 8:00 show. The comedians were funny, but no one I had heard of before. Drinks are overpriced and pretty weak, but I still enjoyed myself!

Fun night out. $20 cover and 2 item minimum. Lots of laughs.

Cozy and intimate and easy accessible

They sat us at end of the room and we couldnt hear the comics.And drinks are expensive

Very funny..ALWAYS a sure bet great time.

Great comedy show. Very funny

Ive now attended two New Years Eve shows; one 15 years ago and another to welcome 2019. Im glad to see this venue still offers a great NYEs show.

Awesome time. Just be careful when ordering alcoholic beverages. Had a group of five 13 drinks purchased plus small popcorn ... bill came to over $222.00 OUCH!

A bit warm but great set and nice classic comedy club feel

Good acts. Have always had a good time. There is an item minimum that had somewhat overpriced items, but thats how it goes in NYC. There is a local discount if you ask nicely.

Very entertaining not many food choices but the cheese plate was a pleasant surprise

Jeff Radosovich is the funniest comic there!

Intimate comedy club.

Always a good time at the comedy shop.

NYC comedy club that launched Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy

I was there on V day, the comedians were hilarious had a great time.

Great service, great show, always have an amazing time!!

Really enjoyed the show.
