About Comedy Cellar - NY
Welcome to Comedy Cellar - NY, a beloved trio of intimate spaces in the heart of Greenwich Village. With the main room at 117 MacDougal St and the adjacent Village Underground (130 W 3rd St) and Fat Black Pussycat (130 W 3rd St), this is where high-profile lineups meet up-close laughter. We’ve got you covered with seating details, getting there, parking options, and recommended nearby hotels and dining to make your night effortless.
Note: Seating is first-come, first-served after reservations. Parties over the stated limits aren’t accommodated. Venues retain their distinct vibes—think a cozy basement show at the main room, plus dedicated comedy space at Village Underground and a bar/lounge showroom at Fat Black Pussycat.
Accessibility and practical details help you plan ahead. The closest major transit hub is West 4th Street–Washington Square (A, C, E, B, D, F, M), with easy walking routes to all Comedy Cellar spaces. Parking isn’t on-site; rely on nearby garages or metered spots, and consider bookable options when available. For stays near the club, Washington Square Hotel is a quick stroll away, with other nearby hotel choices in Greenwich Village like The Marlton and The Jane for different vibes. When you’re ready to laugh, secure your seats through trusted channels and enjoy top-tier comedy with a true New York twist.
