The appeal is the club format and the comedians booked for that performance. A surprise celebrity appearance is not something to make the reservation depend on.\n\nChoose from the actual line-up and showtime, then pay attention to the room. The Comedy Cellar also programmes other venues nearby, including the Village Underground. Those can be worthwhile nights in their own right, but a booking for another room is not a seat in the original basement. The address and arrival instructions should describe the experience you intend to buy.\n\nThe sequence of shorter sets makes the evening different from buying a theatre ticket for one performer’s full show. You are choosing a particular bill and the atmosphere of a comedy club. That is a good fit for an adult Village evening when you want the live performance to be the main event.\n\nThe cover is only one part of the cost. The house’s two-item minimum can include food, drink or bottled water, so an earlier dinner does not remove that commitment. Choose the meal before the show with both the appetite and the full evening budget in mind. The practical guide separates those components rather than treating the reservation as an all-inclusive ticket.\n\nA Village food stop before the show gives the outing a simple shape. NY Dosas depends on the cart’s daytime trading window, while Semma is a substantial restaurant booking and L’Industrie a separate West Village slice stop. Choose the one that fits the show’s arrival time rather than trying to turn the evening into a food crawl as well.", "shortDescription": "A stand-up evening in the original MacDougal Street basement room.", "whyVisit": "A stand-up evening in the original MacDougal Street basement room.", "storyHeading": "A small-room stand-up night with a particular address and line-up.", "categorySlug": "live-shows-and-theatre", "schemaType": "TouristAttraction", "location": "Greenwich Village, Manhattan", "address": "117 MacDougal Street, New York, NY", "city": "New York", "region": "New York", "country": "United States", "latitude": 40.7302077, "longitude": -74.0005495, "websiteUrl": "https://www.comedycellar.com/contact-us/", "bookingUrl": "https://www.comedycellar.com/reservations-newyork/", "bookingText": "Book the exact room and follow the confirmation’s door-arrival instructions.

Comedy Cellar is the MacDougal Street basement: a close audience, a small stage and a succession of stand-up sets. The appeal is the club format and the comedians booked for that performance. A surprise celebrity appearance is not something to make the reservation depend on.\n\nChoose from the actual line-up and showtime, then pay attention to the room. The Comedy Cellar also programmes other venues nearby, including the Village Underground. Those can be worthwhile nights in their own right, but a booking for another room is not a seat in the original basement. The address and arrival instructions should describe the experience you intend to buy.\n\nThe sequence of shorter sets makes the evening different from buying a theatre ticket for one performer’s full show. You are choosing a particular bill and the atmosphere of a comedy club. That is a good fit for an adult Village evening when you want the live performance to be the main event.\n\nThe cover is only one part of the cost. The house’s two-item minimum can include food, drink or bottled water, so an earlier dinner does not remove that commitment. Choose the meal before the show with both the appetite and the full evening budget in mind. The practical guide separates those components rather than treating the reservation as an all-inclusive ticket.\n\nA Village food stop before the show gives the outing a simple shape. NY Dosas depends on the cart’s daytime trading window, while Semma is a substantial restaurant booking and L’Industrie a separate West Village slice stop.

The appeal is the club format and the comedians booked for that performance. A surprise celebrity appearance is not something to make the reservation depend on.\n\nChoose from the actual line-up and showtime, then pay attention to the room. The Comedy Cellar also programmes other venues nearby, including the Village Underground. Those can be worthwhile nights in their own right, but a booking for another room is not a seat in the original basement. The address and arrival instructions should describe the experience you intend to buy.\n\nThe sequence of shorter sets makes the evening different from buying a theatre ticket for one performer’s full show. You are choosing a particular bill and the atmosphere of a comedy club. That is a good fit for an adult Village evening when you want the live performance to be the main event.\n\nThe cover is only one part of the cost. The house’s two-item minimum can include food, drink or bottled water, so an earlier dinner does not remove that commitment. Choose the meal before the show with both the appetite and the full evening budget in mind. The practical guide separates those components rather than treating the reservation as an all-inclusive ticket.\n\nA Village food stop before the show gives the outing a simple shape. NY Dosas depends on the cart’s daytime trading window, while Semma is a substantial restaurant booking and L’Industrie a separate West Village slice stop.

A compulsory two-item minimum applies; the planner adds a $20 per-person allowance for those purchases.\n\n[Tickets & visit details]()\n\n#### When to visit\n\nMultiple dated shows; original MacDougal regular starts are Mon–Wed 19:30/21:30/23:30, Thu 18:45/20:45/22:45, Fri–Sat 18:45/20:45/22:45/00:30, Sun 13:30/19:00/21:00/23:00. Use the reserved showtime.\n\nKeep the Comedy Cellar on a clear city evening. Village jazz & comedy evenings is the relevant itinerary, with the original MacDougal room selected deliberately and its minimum spending retained. Avoid a booking after a full tennis session: the match, station queue and journey to the Village can all delay arrival. The confirmed room and house arrival instructions take priority over a general club map pin.\n\n#### Arrive\n\nWest 4 St–Washington Sq · A/B/C/D/E/F/M. Walk east towards MacDougal Street for the original room at 117 MacDougal. Verify the room on your reservation: Village Underground at 130 West 3rd Street has a different entrance.\n\n117 MacDougal Street, New York, NY\n\nThe original performance room is downstairs. Discuss access with the booking team before purchasing.\n\nJourney times are estimates for ordinary daytime service, including the street approach. Add security, queues and any ferry or tram crossing separately. For a step-free journey, choose suitable stations and operating lifts; these routes are not an accessibility guarantee.\n\nChoose a Manhattan base for the city outing, then use the guide’s stadium journey for the separate trip to Queens.\n\n[Get directions]()\n\n#### Plan your visit\n\nBook the exact room and follow the confirmation’s door-arrival instructions. Admission is normally 21+; exceptions for an 18-year-old with a parent require advance agreement. MacDougal reservations allow up to eight people. After-midnight shows are listed under the preceding show evening.\n\n[Book your visit]()\n\n#### Accessibility\n\nThe original performance room is downstairs.
