What People Are Saying About National Comedy Theatre

National Comedy Theatre

Owner

New York has a hip new home for improv comedy. After dominating the comedy scene on the West Coast for two decades, the National Comedy Theatre has opened a spectacular new theatre on 36th Street with shows every weekend. The NCT is a high-octane comedy competition between two teams of comedians based on suggestions from the audience. It's fast, hysterical, and the most fun allowed by New York law.

A great place to start off the night!

by halfonit

This was such a surprise! I honestly didn't know what to expect from such a small hole in the wall type of joint, but I read so many reviews about this place on this website that I decided to check it out and I am so glad that I did. All the performers were hilarious and made the time go by so fast that I wish I had time to watch another show. If you're in the area, check this place out. It's only $15 (which is basically unheard of in NYC) and you are guaranteed to laugh until you hurt!

  • Pros: Cheap, Fun, Hilarious
  • Cons: Tiny room

A Fun Night!

by AshinNC

My sister and I had a great time! The fact that it's "family-friendly" means kids will be there but the ones there were well-behaved & participated well. There was an annoying adult in the audience, however... but that could happen anywhere, I suppose. The actors were very engaging and talented. We didn't go to any of the other comedy clubs so I have nothing to which to compare it.

Very funny show! Inexpensive night out.

by ny251

Some friends recommended this show to us, and we finally took a leap of faith and made it to the show.

What a great night out for my wife and me! The show was very, very funny, with an enormously talented cast. It was very inexpensive (just 15 bucks a ticket!), and we didn't have a waitress forcing us to buy drinks.

The theater was really nice - very upscale, not at all like the dingy smaller theaters in the city, and the whole evening was just perfect.

We will definitely return with more friends in the future.

  • Pros: Great show, nice theater, inexpensive
