National Comedy Theatre

Review:  One Scribble recently went to a show at the National Comedy Theatre...

I read the reviews online and scoped out their website as to who they are and what they are all about. The theatre is kid friendly so the jokes are clean. The space is small and intimate and the comedians are funny and fast paced. They really interact with the audience in that they encourage audience volunteers and get the crowd going. Each show is unique since the games played are switched up and the audience input is always different. It keeps the show fresh and entertaining. There is no script, and kids can really enjoy and have fun watching the show along with their parents.

Dress Code:  Casual, but fanciness is welcome =)
Food And Drinks: Beers, water, and snacks sold in establishment.
Parking And Transportation: Take the subway, taxi or walk! Easy access via bus or subway.
Other:  All seating is good seating. Theater holds 110 - 120 people - no bad seats, but get there early to ensure seats together. 

"For two decades, the National Comedy Theatre has been entertaining audiences of all sizes and types across the nation with their unique brand of interactive, improv comedy.

The New York City National Comedy Theatre Show is a comedy competition between two teams of professional comedians who perform a series of scenes - all based on audience suggestions.


No two shows are ever the same because they are all completely improvised. Furthermore, the shows are CLEAN, and appropriate for all audiences. The NCT presents weekly improv comedy performances in New York City as well as thousands of corporate entertainment events and private shows all around the world."


They have a Halloween Spooktacular coming up! Check it out!
