The Stand NYC

I had no idea the Stand had a full basement with a giant comedy venue! I had been twice before to the “Upstairs” which is very small and intimate, and would highly recommend the Basement! I loved how it’s not as crowded as the Comedy Cellar. The food was pretty good, fries were great and ricotta was pretty average. My husband agreed his fried chicken was just ok. Comedy was pretty good, was chuckling the whole time and didn’t really have any dud comedians but also wasn’t LOLing the whole night. The crowd seemed to agree with me and was pretty conservative with the laughs. Would certainly return, but Comedy Cellar is still king in my book.

Great drinks...great pizza...and great place to take my 17 y o comedy lover son to see a great show. Everyone was hilarious. Service was great and fast. Affordable. Huge mom win on a mom-son senior trip to NYC. Thanks for making me look like the cool mom! Y'all knocked it out of the park.

Great host and comedy! I planned this for my wife as a surprise and it turned out to be a great experience. We are both fans of comedy and wanted to go to the best place and this one didn’t disappoint us at all. Will go again!

Tom was the best waiter I have ever had! He provided the best service and was so attentive towards my sister and I ! We will be for sure be coming back and asking for Tom!

Comedians were great
