Lower East Side, in Manhattan

Caveat

Comedy Venue · 21 A Clinton St

Official site Directions

A small bar and stage on Clinton Street programming comedy and lecture shows, the kind built around a subject rather than assembled as a straight stand-up bill.

Shows here tend to have a premise. A host with a topic, a panel, a game with rules explained at the top. The bar operates through all of it, which is the part that keeps it from feeling like a class.

Full lineups go up in advance, so the bill is known before you buy rather than announced from the stage. It is one of several small stages within walking distance on the Lower East Side.
