An oasis of class in a crowded field of rowdy comedy clubs.
Gotham Comedy Club features the country's top headliners and up and coming comics. Drawing upon the charm and ambiance of the 1920's to capture the spirit of an upscale theater environment, this relaxed and comfortable venue has hosted talent such as Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black & Colin Quinn, to name a few. Gotham Comedy Club has become the backdrop for many TV shows and films such as Jerry Seinfeld's 2002 Miramax film "Comedian", Larry David's pilot of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and home to Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham". "Live at Gotham" features the country's hottest comedians doing fresh stand-up with Celebrity hosts such as Artie Lange & Jim Breuer. NBC's Emmy-nominated series "Last Comic Standing" brings their dueling comedians to Gotham's stage to duke it out for season 5.

An oasis of class in a crowded field of rowdy comedy clubs.

Housed in a landmark Flatiron building, this club prides itself on booking comics who raise the bar of civility without ever losing sight of the main goal: Making you laugh. With bars made of solid oak and copper, subdued lighting and an antique turn-of-the-century bronze chandelier, the graceful, 3,300-square-foot digs create an elegant yet unpretentious tone. Unsurprisingly, you've got to pay for upscale, so Gotham always enforces a two-drink minimum (with food available). But swank also attracts rank, so performers like Jim Gaffigan, Dane Cook and the blisteringly funny Lewis Black are frequent headliners. Even Jerry Seinfeld has been known to stop by unannounced for a set. In addition to headliner shows, programming includes regular rotating shows, sketch comedy and new-talent nights.
