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.NCT has received unanimous acclaim nationwide. "Ingenious...funny...You have to see it!" raved The San Jose Mercury News and The Santa Barbara Independent adds, "Exhilarating to watch...a raucous good time atmosphere!"

Great Improv Show
by flaca1987 at Citysearch
The comedians at this place are very talented God bless them. I could not stop laughing from the moment the show started till it ended. It is so unique, very affordable and no drink minimum. I do wish they had more shows throughout the week not just Friday and Saturday. One thing I didn't like was that kids and teens and basically everyone under 21 yrs of age is allowed. Which is fine but when you have them talking about Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber it gets too be rediculous, of course the comedians made it funny like I said they're talented. Overall my experience was great and I will go again for sure.

A great place to start off the night!

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 at Citysearch
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 at Citysearch
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

LOVED the show. Very funny!!!
by bennster at Citysearch
We absolutely loved this show! Several friends and I try to see a different comedy show every month, and this was by far the best we've ever seen.
The place is set up as a theatre, so there are no annoying waitresses trying to push drinks on you (there's no drink minimums either!).
It's a really great looking place, which only adds to the quality of the performances.
The cast was original, hilarious and performed some of the best improv that we had ever seen - either live or on television.
- Pros: Amazing cast, hilarious, cool theatre, no drink minimum
