Union Hall runs three separate comedy shows across this Saturday, and this is the one that gets the loosest — a six-comic late bill under a Park Slope bar with a bocce court and a fireplace upstairs. Ashton Womack hosts, with Alex English, Amber Singletary, Zae Jordan, Stephon Bishop and Simon U all on the card, which is a lot of distinct voices for a room this size. If you want the version of Brooklyn stand-up where the crowd is already three drinks in, book the late one.
What to expect
Doors open a half hour before the show into a low-ceilinged basement room with a stage at one end and a bar at the other. Six comics move quickly under a host, and the upstairs bar with its bocce court stays open before and after, which is where most of the crowd ends up.
Good to know
- Union Hall is at 702 Union Street in Park Slope — the R at Union Street is a block away, and the F and G at Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street are close
- This is a 21-and-over room
- Shows run in the downstairs space; the upstairs bar has the bocce courts and fireplace
- It is the late slot of three comedy shows the same night, so the room arrives warmed up
- Capacity is small and Union Hall comedy regularly sells out in advance
