Comedy show21+Gowanus

Four comedians draft their childhood crushes like it is a fantasy football league, then have to defend the picks to a room that is very willing to boo. The panel here is stacked with working New York club comics rather than podcast names, so the riffing is fast and the arguments are real. If you want a Sunday show where the audience is part of the format, this is the one to book.

What to expect

littlefield is a high-ceilinged Gowanus room with a bar along one side and a stage at the end, seating in front and standing behind. Expect audience voting, a running scoreboard, prizes and a lot of tangents. Doors open an hour before the show, which is enough time to get a drink and a decent seat.

Good to know

  • Take the R to Union St or the F and G to Carroll St; littlefield is a short walk on Sackett Street.
  • The show is 21 and over, so bring ID.
  • Doors open an hour before the show and seating is first-come, so arriving early gets you a chair.
  • Tickets are non-refundable, so be reasonably sure of your plans before booking.
  • It runs roughly two and a half hours, which is longer than a standard stand-up set.
