Frequently asked questions
We're a cute coffee shop turned Friday night comedy club on NYC's Lower East Side. 172 Rivington St. near Clinton St.
The show host and producer Danny Palmer is a 15+ years veteran NYC comic with a deep rolodex of comedians (and long-standing friendships with them). It's a very fun, loving vibe of good friends who are great comics.
Arrive around 8:30-8:45 pm to snag the best seats! It's general admission. The show starts at 9:00 pm.
Management philosophy is that we want the show to be an accessible, affordable option in a chill, downtown coffeeshop environment. So if free tickets make the most sense we want those to be available. If you'd like to help support the arts financially and buy tickets we welcome that, too!
