Overview

NYC's funniest comics light up the LES every Friday. Packed crowds, killer sets, and real NYC comedy energy - RSVP before it sells out!

Every Friday night on the Lower East Side, Black Cat transforms from a cozy café into one of NYC’s most electric comedy rooms. The city’s best comics take the stage — alongside top visiting acts from Los Angeles and across the country — in an intimate, high-energy space that's become a favorite among comics and crowds alike.

Built over seven+ years with passion, grit, and love for stand-up, Black Cat Fridays: Stand-Up Comedy has grown into a true NYC comedy institution — equal parts funny, warm, and unpredictable. Come see why comics call it one of the most authentic rooms in the city.

Doors/Bangin' Playlist at 8:30. Please arrive by 8:45 pm to ensure best seating!
