Invite Them Up Tickets

Invite Them Up is a pivotal name in New York City's stand-up and alternative comedy scene. Originating as a weekly event in the East Village, the project helped launch the careers of notable comics including Aziz Ansari, Demetri Martin, and Chelsea Peretti. Curated by Eugene Mirman and Bobby Tisdale, Invite Them Up became a home for edgy, experimental comedy and music—fostering a space where performers could push boundaries and connect with curious audiences. While the weekly format concluded with a three-night farewell at Rififi in February 2008, the influence of Invite Them Up continues to be felt in contemporary stand-up and indie performance circles.

In 2009, SF Sketchfest featured Invite Them Up as part of its festival lineup, underscoring the show's lasting impact on the broader comedy community. A subsequent revival occurred in 2012 at The Bell House in Brooklyn, signaling intermittent returns after the initial finale. Today, the legacy persists in conversations about experimental comedy and the early careers that helped shape a generation of performers.

Although current listings show no confirmed 2025 tour dates, Invite Them Up remains a critical reference point for fans and researchers of modern American comedy.
