Stand Up NY at Café Paradiso

I went to the dinner and a show on 09/14/24 and it was the worst show, none of the comedians were funny. Two couples walked out. So me and my friend walked out as well. The food was great, but the comedy show was terrible. I don’t recommend this place for comedy.

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.

I used to come here frequently when I lived in the UWS. However, I’ve received over $1600 in fraudulent charges from them over the past 12 months. I’ve called and emailed multiple times without resolution.

Visiting Stand Up NY on a Friday night offered a unique glimpse into the club's valiant efforts at reinvention and its struggle to capture the essence of what makes a comedy venue thrive. Firstly, it's commendable to see a venue striving for growth and pushing boundaries to rejuvenate its appeal. The ambition to revamp its identity and enhance the overall experience is palpable, marking a promising step towards redefining its place in the city's nightlife.However, it's apparent there are underlying reasons why Stand Up faces challenges in drawing larger crowds, particularly on what should be one of the busiest nights of the week. While the club's spirit of innovation is noteworthy, there seems to be a disconnect between its offerings and the expectations of its potential audience. The quality of the acts, although varied, occasionally lacks the consistency needed to keep the audience engaged throughout the evening. Comedy, after all, is an art that demands a delicate balance between innovation and relatability, something the club is still in the process of mastering.Moreover, the ambiance and service, crucial elements of the overall experience, appear to need fine-tuning. A welcoming, comfortable environment and attentive service greatly enhance the enjoyment of live comedy, making them areas where Standup could potentially improve to match the expectations of its guests.In conclusion, Standup deserves recognition for its bold attempts at transformation and for its commitment to providing a platform for comedians to showcase their talent. However, for the club to truly flourish and fill its seats, especially on Friday nights, a more focused approach might be necessary. This could include refining the selection of acts to ensure a consistently high-quality lineup, improving the overall ambiance of the club, and enhancing service standards. There is a wealth of potential waiting to be unlocked at NY Standup, and with further adjustments, it could indeed become a staple in the local entertainment .

Fun night of comedy with a variety of talent. Drinks were good, even if the space was very tight.

I cried laughing!! Such a cool vibe and welcoming experience. Highly recommend!!!

I got a special comp-ticket for a Friday 8pm show at S.U.NY. It was worth it for a nice evening of comedy. The drinks weren't as pricey as some other venues. The comedian line-up was small but good overall because they had to make room for the headliner Mr. Rick Vos. The space is relatively small compared to other comedy venues still it had a good enough space for the crowd. And the basement lavatories decent & clean (though it may need better labeling for them) I've been going to Stand Up NY for about 2 years & have always had a good experience. Thanks.

Excellent show, I liked the place and the theme

Great acts. Good space. Efficient. ??

Hilarious set! My husband and I really enjoyed our night out at Stand Up NY, the comedians were funny, and the wait staff attentive. Looking forward to coming back soon!

We had a great time at Stand Up NY last week. The venue was great and comics were hilarious.

Love the atmosphere! Make sure you book online in advance, and the earlier you arrive the better chance you get agood spot

They updated the show to start at 8 pm online but in reality the show started at the original time. Unclear what’s their agenda with doing that but I wasted time getting here and they also still wanted to charge me full price for 15 minutes

Comedians were decent, enjoyed the show. However, the $18 drink per person rule is ridiculous because the drinks are TINY. You pay $16 per drink and barely get 150 milliliters. It's truly ridiculous. Just raise the prices for the tickets and sell normal-sized drinks for normal prices. The way it is right now is just an annoying way of making the tickets $20 more expensive.Other comedy clubs in the city can do it, so you can as well.

Cool atmosphere, high quality performer. Been here 4 times in 10 years, and happy for it
