    I went there with my brother for his birthday! It was a comedy show -- Dont Tell Comedy. It was good! I wouldve enjoyed it more if I wasnt so tired that night. Great atmosphere, good comics, good drinks!

    Cellino & Barnes - off Broadway win!Pros:Entertaining, FunnyEngaging even for those who don’t remember 1800888888Great performancesIntimate theatreGood bar in frontNot 2.5 hours long so you can go on a Sunday nightGood to know:Front row seats really are front row- you’re on same level as actors — but you also might win the grand prizeSmall part of action takes place floor level (actors seated on floor)QR code for your program - they don’t believe in charity 😂

    Asylum NYC sounds like a great spot for a fun weeknight outing with friends! Its awesome that they host SoFar Sounds events, which are known for featuring up-and-coming musicians in intimate settings. Grabbing drinks and enjoying some live music is a perfect way to unwind in the middle of the week.

    Clean theatre. Bar in the front is great but would be great if they had hot drinks also.Celling vs Barnes - super funny especially if you remember the commercials.

    Came here for Harrison Greenbaum’s show. Nice place. Just one thing, there’s no way for the drink holder on the seats holding any drinks from the lounge bar. 😂

    The club is designed as a theatre stage where the comedians can perform on a center platform.I attend a show of improvised sets which was very funny. The performers were talents and I had a good time.No minimal drink order required

  • Review 8 (2022-09-27 - Rating: 4)

    The show was great. Enjoyed what the venue offered. I would make the bench seats with a little more cushion for the seat and back.

  • Review 9 (2024-11-04 - Rating: 5)

    Saw Cellino & Barnes. Very funny. Decent space for short plays.

  • Review 10 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Phenomenal experience.It was my first time here and the performance exceeded my expectations. This is a must-see event, even if no two shows are the same!

  • Review 11 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible new space for comedy. What they’re planning on for the basement is nothing short of amazing

  • Review 12 (2024-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    Cellino v. Barnes is a hilarious, bizarre take on a true New York business drama.

  • Review 13 (2024-05-19 - Rating: 5)

    Theres no food here. Its an incredible bar with a theater/stage. We were there to see Shitzprobe. One of my favorite things to do in NYC!

  • Review 14 (2022-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent use of space and a great performing venue. The staff is very helpful. They have interesting and different shows, things off the beaten path that people will be talking about. Its a great place to go to see some familiar faces along with some new work. They also offer classes which look very enticing and professional. Ive done work with groups like them before and recommend their classes and projects.

  • Review 15 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Always amazing experience. The bartender remembered my drink of choice after a month the moment I walked in...

  • Review 16 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 4)

    The atmosphere of the place was good. The show could be better. Thank you.

  • Review 17 (2024-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Saw the Cellino vs Barnes show, it was great

  • Review 18 (2018-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    This was a great night out. The actors gave a wonderful performance, a nice mix of improv and sketch shows. They are recently established so the show was a bit more intimate - needed to be prepared to call out and interact! Went to the one in Boston which was also great, these guys just started in New York. I hope they continue to grow. Thanks for a wonderful time!

  • Review 19 (2022-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    Saw Stamptown here - it was a blast!! Nice tiered seating and small stage but enough room so that you dont feel cramped. Nice people working, hilarious shows, and good vibes all around

  • Review 20 (2021-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    We enjoyed the Sunday night comedy show - the flagship show, which was a part of the North Coast festival. It was two improv acts based on two suggestions from the audience. Was pretty good, although sometimes was a bit hard to hear when they were facing the other way. I wouldn’t recommend if you are not comfortable with people not wearing masks though.

  • Review 21 (2019-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    I just saw the show tonight and it was killer—most fun weve had in a long time and love that its right in the heart of Chelsea. Grabbed a nice coffee before from across the street and then drinks at Improv Asylum. Perfection and I think I won date night! The show was brilliant and we laughed non-stop. There was a slight disruption during the show, but probably just someone a little too tipsy, but the cast rolled with it. Will definitely be back!!!

  • Review 22 (2024-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing show really fun. We had a great time

  • Review 23 (2019-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great show tonight! The story/skit using Adrians life story was spot on hilarious. The comedy team did a great job of incorporating audience elements throughout the show.

  • Review 31 (2019-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Always a fun time. Ive attended to improv asylum in Boston many times so finally got a chance to check out the new(er) NYC club. Nice perk, if you go to the late main stage show on Friday or Saturday you can stay for the late night raunch show for free

  • Review 32 (2022-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    FYI-Masks still required indoors except for beverages during show- not sure for how much longer- hard to keep the mask on when singing and laughing so much!

  • Review 33 (2022-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Best theater in the basement of a grocery store ever.

  • Review 49 (2022-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    First time there and we were blown away. Loved the mix of standup and improv. The entire cast was hilarious. Slightly disappointed that David Cross was unable to attend but his stand in did a great job. Will definitely be coming back. Place is not BYOB but they have 2 bars inside. Entire audience was full so would recommend buying tickets in advance.

  • Review 50 (2022-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Went to see Titanica. Nice place to see the show. We had side seats and it was great

  • Review 53 (2019-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    Well done short form improv and skits.

  • Review 54 (2021-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    An unexpected and hilarious comedy show with cool venue vibes.My friend and I just passed by this place and decided to go for it, as tickets were $20.For that price, the quality was amazing. First, an opening act, then interactions with the audience, then using that to base their improv sets on, a stand up scene, and their closing scene with more improv based on a question they asked the audience (weird flexes you’ve overheard).Though I wouldn’t say all scenes were DYING laughing, the stand up was SO funny and some scenes from the improv were so funny and clever. The audience members were also really interactive and created a really nice vibe.Would definitely go again.

  • Review 55 (2021-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great to see what theyve done with the place. Good contemporary comedy.

  • Review 56 (2019-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Lot of fun - really great when the crowd gets into it - and if you have time you can wait about 30 min to catch another show for free thats a bit more PG13

  • Review 57 (2021-10-31 - Rating: 5)
