Stand Up NY at Café Paradiso

"False Advertising and Disappointing Show The show was a huge letdown. The website advertised famous comedians for the Friday nights, but the actual lineup was completely different. Most of the comedians were unfunny and blamed the audience for their poor performances. It was a rough night, except for the host and Eman Morgan, who were the only highlights. One star just for them."

"Live near this place, went in for a show tonight (Saturday) that was being taped. I’ve been to a handful of shows, some are great, some are less so. That’s life. That’s comedy. This show definitely had some awesome comedians and great acts but the guy running it was brutal. It was being taped and the host wanted us to laugh and clap on command. He was doing little hand signs, just very forced. So uncomfortable. We got our check at intermission so we could bail and the server berated us for leaving because she would need to fill the table. But we were in the far back and there were plenty of open tables. This seems like a great club, the drinks were good, the decor was decent, and I bet with other hosts on other nights it’s great, but it wasn’t tonight. If I come back and it’s different, I’ll update this but for now, two stars is the best I can do."

"The venue is spacious, plenty of seating options and one of the few comedy clubs in upper west sides. Friendly staff and excellent service. The line up were amazing which concluded with Erik Scott who was super talented and pro. Had a good laugh, will definitely come back to this spot."

"Arrive early. Seating can fill pretty quickly. Often times there may be a drink minimum or admission cost but worth the comedy you will see. Two shows are often available as well- One that starts at 8pm and one at around 11I believe. An enjoyable night out."

"We went to an open mic night and I have never been to a show where each comic was great. I don't know if this place previews their acts in advance but it was all worth it. They even had a guest appearance from a well know comedian. In addition, we brought a couple of 18-year-olds and they loved it too. Although you have to pay the cover charge in drinks ( that were not very good) still worth the $ spent."
