The Stand books its main room like a rotation, so the trick is picking the night the card is genuinely stacked, and this is it: Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane, plus Rocky Dale Davis, Anna Roisman and Matthew Broussard on one bill. It is a restaurant-and-club hybrid, which means you can sit down to a real dinner and stay in your seat when the lights drop. If you want the classic New York comedy-club night without gambling on the lineup, take this slot.
What to expect
A downstairs main room with table seating, table service running through the show, and five sets moving briskly under one host. The room is dark, close and built for punchlines rather than sightlines, so the back tables still feel near the stage.
Good to know
- The Stand is on East 16th Street just off Union Square — the L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 all converge there
- This is the downstairs main room, distinct from the club's Upstairs and Patio rooms
- Kitchen service runs through the show, so you can eat in your seat rather than beforehand
- Individual comedian appearances are subject to change, as at any club
- Table seating is assigned at check-in, so arriving together matters for large groups

Common questions
Which room is this in?
The main room downstairs at The Stand on East 16th Street, not the Upstairs room or the outdoor patio.
Can I have dinner during the show?
Yes. The Stand is a restaurant as well as a club, and table service continues while the comics are on.
Is the lineup guaranteed?
Clubs list individual comics subject to change. The advertised five are booked, but late swaps are always possible.
