Comedy Cellar - MacDougal Street vs The Tiny Cupboard.

Comedy Cellar and The Tiny Cupboard represent opposite ends of the NYC comedy spectrum. The Cellar is the institution — the spot every touring comic wants to play, with a legacy stretching back decades and a Greenwich Village address that's synonymous with stand-up history. The Tiny Cupboard is the scrappy indie darling in Brooklyn, a genuinely tiny room where the intimacy is extreme and the shows feel like a secret. If you want the classic NYC comedy club experience with world-class talent, the Cellar is the move. If you want something raw, experimental, and so close to the performers you could whisper to them, The Tiny Cupboard offers an experience no big club can replicate.
