Here a list of a couple sweet ass comedy clubs I’ve checked out in the past couple years.
Riot Act Comedy, this place has got to be the best place in Washington D.C. to hit up. Little whole in the wall, exposed brick backdrop, small bar, all the essentials of a true comedy club. I don’t know if this was a special occasion or what, but when I went the owner introduced himself, real cool, and said we could bring our own booze. The whole place was full of 12-24 packs of beer on peoples tables, sick, the open mic was done pretty well also. This was like 3 years ago, hope the place is still this kickass. http://www.riotactcomedy.com/
9:55 Comedy at Bottoms up Pizza, in Richmond, VA. This place is the best and one of the only legit places to see some stand-up in the city. It’s on the second floor of Bottoms up Pizza, a popular overpriced pizzeria off Canal Street in Richmond’s Shockoe Slip. The bar is large and wraps around and there is an outside deck, the stand-up’s set up pretty well too. Check it out. The website says Every Mondays at 8PM is open Mic night, but pretty sure it’s more like most monday nights, but still check it out. http://www.955comedy.com/
Greenwhich Lantern or Village Lantern, this place is at 167 Bleecker St and is cool as hell, the comedy is downstairs and they have it every night. Upstairs they ussually have a band with more of a bar bar atmosphere as opposed to the downstairs which is comey/restaurant layout, exposed brick, and pretty large. Be careful for the beer specials as apparently their not the same downstairs and upstairs, I made that mistake ordering a special 2$ beer upstairs and wanted to get the same downstairs and ended up paying 7$ for it. Good comedy set, pretty long, and with people from all over hitting the mic. http://villagelantern.com/
