Comedy Underground

Comedy Underground is the most fun you’ve ever had in a garage! This 8-part series of rain-or-shine stand-up comedy showcases takes place below the Lincoln Center campus at Jaffe Drive, located via a fully accessible ramp just off Columbus Avenue. It’s all the laughs of a downtown comedy club without a two-drink minimum… and you won't even have to validate your parking. Every Wednesday from June 19 to August 7, Suzette Simon, founder of the comedy performing arts nonprofit NYLaughs, will curate a free and truly underground evening featuring New York City's sharpest up-and-coming comedians, plus maybe a few surprise headliners! Stay tuned for full event lineups in the weeks ahead.
