Comedy Club???
 
We'll be in the city Christmas Night & the night after... want to go to a comedy club with our 17 11/12 year old son... what club do you recommend? We love people like Dane Cook, Wanta Sykes, Lewis Black... although no one like that is around :-(... How is Dangerfield's or NY Improv?

Thanks

Some of the clubs have age restrictions so double check before you go. I would imagine most will be closed on Christmas Night. Some of the clubs are doing special performances for Christmas Eve like "A very Jewish Christams."

Stand-Up NY appears to be open on both those nights but has an age restriction of 15 with parents. I haven't heard much about Dangerfields lately.

Just a quick follow up... We ended up going to Dangerfield's and it was fantastic! We were told there were going to be 2 comics, but there were 5 PLUS the Emcee. It's a little tiny hole in the wall (which is actually great - very intimate!), but most of the comedians were top notch - and we'd seen some on the Comedy Channel. There was no drink or food minimum and we'd found a buy one admission, get one free coupon in the Entertainment Book... so it was a real NY BAAAAHGAIN!!!! I would definitely recommend Dangerfield's!

Thanks mclaurie... no, we'd gone the night after Christmas (on Monday)... :-)
