Restaurant & Comedy Club
Description
The only upscale venue that can hold 300 people and deliver comedians directly to you, The Stand has been a staple of the New York comedy scene by hosting A-list comedians and becoming a home to the city’s funniest performers as well as the best comedy fans. By offering exceptional service, high-end cocktails, and the cuisine of a Northern Italian Taverna, The Stand has become a hub in the Gramercy Park / Union Square area of New York City. Headed up by brothers Cris Italia, Paul Italia and Patrick Milligan, The Stand was named the best comedy venue by New York Magazine and TimeoutNY. These three also own and operate a management and production company, representing some of the best names in comedy while producing for TV and film. Due to their success at The Stand, they were tapped as standup comedy bookers for the The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in 2015.

Went to the free monday night comedy show and the best comics (4ish out of 9) were the ones that didn’t feel insecure by criticizing the audience for not laughing at their unfunny jokes which I thought was weird it happened multiple times. The host Aaron Berg was a great opener though. It was free so can’t complain too much and there’s no drink/food minimums if you don’t feel like getting anything.

Absolutely worth having some cocktails here, they’re really good. The comedy show was a bit awkward because we were a tough crowd lol but nice amateur comedians. Place is cool and big.

As a bar and service this is a fabulous place. Comedy space is unreasonably tight, to the point of cancellation! That aside, it’s a great time to spend some time at and get upcoming comics with some name pop ins. Overall recommend

by james amster
This amazing restaurant features fresh hand made pasta and a wood fire pizza oven. They also have amazing fine dining options including steaks and fish. Oh yea. There is also a comedy club too. 😆 you don’t have to come for either of the two stages and nightly shows. The food, atmosphere and service are worth the short walk from union square.
