Sugar Shack Sundays, hosted by veteran comic Rob Stapleton, is a deliberate throwback to the energy of Harlem's old Uptown Comedy Club era. The format is a hosted showcase with rotating comics and the possibility of unannounced drop-ins. If you want to end the weekend with a lively uptown room rather than a downtown club, this is the Sunday move.
What to expect
A hosted multi-comic showcase in a seated room with food and drinks. The lineup isn't announced in advance, so the draw is the room and the host.
Good to know
- Take the A, B, C or D to 145th St.
- All shows are 21+.
- There's a per-person food and drink minimum.
- Comedian appearances can change without notice.
