ComedyStand-UpShowcase

Janeane Garofalo helped shape the confessional alt-comedy style of the 1990s, from The Ben Stiller Show to The Larry Sanders Show, and still works club rooms like this one. Here she leads a six-person lineup that includes former SNL cast member Jon Rudnitsky and club regulars Max Manticof and Josh Ocean Thomas. If you want a legend at showcase prices in a small room, this is the booking.

What to expect

A classic New York showcase: a host, then a run of comics doing tight sets, with Garofalo in the lineup rather than an hour-long headline. The upstairs room is smaller than the main room, with food and drinks served during the show.

Good to know

  • Take the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R or W to 14th St–Union Square.
  • Shows are 21+, or 16+ with a guardian, so bring ID.
  • Lineups can change without notice, which is standard for NYC showcases.
  • Check in about half an hour before showtime to get seated.
  • The Stand has a full restaurant menu, so you can eat during the show.
