The Comedy Cellar is a comedy club in Manhattan where many top New York comedians perform.[1] It was founded in 1982 by then stand-up comedian, and current television writer/producer Bill Grundfest.[2] It is located in the heart of Greenwich Village on 117 Macdougal Street between West 3rd Street and Minetta Lane.[3] Above the club is a restaurant called The Olive Tree Cafe to which it is connected, where many of the comedians hang out after performing.[4] The businesses share the same menu, kitchen, and staff.

The Comedy Cellar, like The Comedy Store, uses a showcase format, as opposed to a headline format like most clubs. A show will consist of between five and seven comics performing sets of roughly 20 minutes each. Each week consists of three shows a night on Sunday through Thursday and four shows each Friday and Saturday.

Notable comedians

Regular performers there include Louis C.K.,[5] Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell, Todd Barry, Judah Friedlander, Colin Quinn, Jim Norton, Mitch Fatel, Darrell Hammond, Michael Mittermeier [6], Rich Vos, Nick Di Paolo, Artie Lange, Greer Barnes, and Marc Maron.

Rising stars in comedy frequently perform at the Comedy Cellar, including Dov Davidoff, Matthew Broussard, Ryan Hamilton, Robert Kelly, Harrison Greenbaum, Sherrod Small, Keith Robinson, Gregg Rogell, Nikki Glaser, Ben Bailey, and Andrew Schulz.

Celebrity comedians Aziz Ansari and Jon Stewart started their comedy careers at the Comedy Cellar, and both continue to occasionally perform there.

Other celebrity comics who have performed at the club include Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Robin Williams, Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart, and Chris Rock.

Musician John Mayer can also be seen dabbling in stand-up here occasionally.[7]

Comedian Matteo Lane called the Comedy Cellar one of his favorite places to perform in New York City.[8]

In the media

Much of Jerry Seinfeld's 2002 documentary Comedian was filmed at the club, and it also can be seen in a 2006 Pepsi commercial starring Jimmy Fallon.

The beginning sequence of Louis CK's television series Louie shows him walking into the Comedy Cellar. Many scenes in the show are filmed in and around the Comedy Cellar and Olive Tree Cafe. Speaking with ESPN's Bill Simmons about the club on a Grantland podcast in June 2012, CK discussed playing shows at the Cellar to empty rooms in the 1990s, stating that then-owner Manny Dworman "kept comedy alive" by making comedians perform on empty stages, in an effort to lure in potential customers.[9] The club was also featured in Chris Rock's film Top Five, including a performance by his character, Andre Allen.

In September 2015, the club launched its public-policy debate series [10] with a debate on the Iran nuclear deal. The debate featured professor and lawyer Alan Dershowitz and journalist Fred Kaplan, among others.

The New York Post regularly rates the Cellar as the best comedy club in New York.[11]

In March, 2016, writers Jessica Pilot and Katla McGylnn wrote an oral history of the club for Vanity Fair.[12]

Las Vegas location

In 2018, the Comedy Cellar opened a third location at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.[13]
