I brought 5 family members to the show this weekend and we all loved it. The cast was creative, funny and quick witted. Audience members ranged from about 10 years old to 70. Can't beat the price at $15/ticket. I will definitely go again. More

Seven of us (4 adults and a 10, 12 and 15 year old) went on a Friday night. We had a grand time at a terrific price! Creative group of comedians and fun for all of us...we laughed a lot! Would highly recommend as a family thing to do in NYC. More

We head to the National Comedy Theatre 2-3 times a year with our sons, now 11 and 15. It's a great interactive experience for the whole family. When our boys got home from Camp this summer and we asked what did they want to do, this was their choice. The cast rotates and since its improv, the show is never... More

We took a group of 20 to NYC for dinner and 'something' and found the National Comedy theater. went to the early show. They were very accommodating in seating us as a group. The teams obviously used to working with each other so it moved very quickly. Lots of laughs, adopting to input from audience. Great when the actors also... More

2 shows every Friday and Saturday evening. Great audience participation- so the more you friends you bring, the more fun you will have! I especially appreciated the lack of those nasty words so evident in other comedy club settings. More

We just came back from a trip to NYC with family. My daughter, 13, was with us and we were looking for something to do at night that the whole family would enjoy. We had a great time! Funny! Clean! Wish the show was longer! More

We absolutely loved the show. It's a very small theatre, with kind of an underground atmosphere, but the show was family friendly and very funny. It's very interactive, but they will not put you on the spot or make fun of anyone in the audience. Even though we are not American (or English) native speakers, we understood every word and... More
