This is about as stacked as a Friday late show gets: Steph Tolev, crowd-work favorite Big Jay Oakerson and Dollface actor Esther Povitsky, plus Paul Virzi, Bonnie McFarlane and Mike Vecchione. Most of the bill headlines rooms of their own. If you want a proper late-night New York club show in a room a block from Union Square, with no weak link on the bill, book this one.
What to expect
Seven comics rotate through tight sets in The Stand's main room, which serves food and drinks throughout. Late shows tend to run rowdier, and Big Jay is known for talking to the front rows.
