Comedy Village has completed its first year of operation in Times Square, establishing itself as New York's premier stage for stand-up comedy since opening in August 2024. The venue has successfully attracted both comedy legends and emerging talent, creating a unique platform where established performers and newcomers share the same stage.
The club's inaugural year featured performances by renowned comedians including Bill Burr, T.J. Miller, Dave Attell, Judah Friedlander, Ben Bailey, and Donnell Rawlings. Simultaneously, the venue provided exposure for rising stars such as Eagle Witt and Brittany Brave, demonstrating its commitment to showcasing the full spectrum of stand-up comedy talent.
Founded by veteran New York comedian, actor, and writer PJ Landers, Comedy Village was conceived with a specific vision: to combine an upscale, audience-focused atmosphere with the authentic energy characteristic of traditional New York comedy clubs. The venue operates seven nights weekly, offering two shows from Sunday through Thursday and three shows every Friday and Saturday, making it an accessible destination for comedy enthusiasts throughout the week.
Landers emphasized the club's mission, stating the goal was to create a space where audiences could experience the raw, unfiltered essence of stand-up comedy while providing a platform for both established legends and emerging comedians to excel. The founder noted that Comedy Village has evolved beyond merely being a performance venue to become a genuine community gathering place for comedy appreciation.
The establishment's programming encompasses diverse comedic styles, ranging from sharp observational humor to fearless political satire, reflecting the broad appeal and variety within contemporary stand-up comedy. This programming diversity has contributed to the venue's rapid establishment as a central hub for comedy in one of the world's most prominent entertainment districts.
To commemorate its first anniversary, Comedy Village is offering a special promotional discount of 50% off tickets for one week using the code HappyBirthday at https://www.comedyvillagenyc.com. This anniversary celebration provides both new attendees and regular patrons an opportunity to experience what has become Times Square's dedicated home for live comedy performance.
