Interstellar Comedy

Interstellar Comedy sits on East 10th where comic nights bleed into the late trains; the space doesn’t need a marquee to announce its presence. A block east of Avenue A, they trade the neon haze of clubs for scribbled punch lines on sticky napkins and the occasional mic drop echoing down the stairwell. Comedy here isn’t some imported model—it’s raw, unfiltered, and scheduled in fits and starts. Shows spill into spoken-word jams, improv pops-ups, and one-off charity roasts just big enough for the back room’s small stage.

If you’re aiming east of Broadway, the place is on 280 East 10th Street—a walk-up above the bodega whose awning still holds yesterday’s lottery numbers. Ring the buzzer or dial the number on the doorframe: (267) 712-9075. Directions are easiest on the map: follow the link to the maps listing and let the dots guide you. No velvet ropes, no VIP lists—just a back stair and a promise that whoever’s on tonight won’t read you the same set twice. See you in the back row.
