The comedians use their good material on the weekend shows. If you go during the week it’s just a workshop to test out their new material it seems. Basically ever time I go on the week day majority of comedians are just running through their new jokes to see what has potential. I have been here a few times on the weekend & when they have larger crowds they seem to use their well-tested material.

I came here hoping for a fun, chill night out, and instead got disrespected, profiled, and dismissed. From the jump, the energy was off. Staff forced us to buy drinks we didn’t want, and when we declined, we were basically kicked out. We don’t smoke, but they had the nerve to try and offer weed as compensation—as if that’s all people like us would want. Highly offensive.
What made it worse? Comments from other patrons that felt biased and rude, and a staff member who came outside just to scold us like we were a problem. I asked for my money back calmly, and they played games about issuing a refund—until I stood my ground. Only then did someone magically remember my name and process it.
If you’re looking for a night out where you’re respected as a paying customer, this ain’t the place. The comedy wasn’t even funny, the vibe was trash, and the management clearly doesn’t know how to handle real issues with professionalism or dignity.

The place was fun but they serve the worlds worst sangria for $14

St. Mark’s Comedy Club in New York is a fantastic hidden gem in the East Village, offering an intimate setting, great vibes, and consistently strong stand-up lineups. During my recent visit, the highlight of the night was stand-up comedian Vishnu Vaka, who absolutely stole the show with his hilarious and relatable performance. His unique storytelling style, witty one-liners, and sharp observations about life, culture, and identity had the entire room laughing nonstop. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid food and drink options made the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re in NYC and looking for a great comedy night, St. Mark’s is a must — especially if Vishnu Vaka is on stage!

Fun comedy club with an intimate feel. There are a mix of performances with more seasoned and fresh comedians.

I followed this comedian to the club and had such a great time! The vibe was fun, the crowd was lively, and the laughs were nonstop. If you’re looking to add some fun to your week, this is the perfect spot. Check out @HesamTorrComedy on Instagram for upcoming shows—you won’t regret it!

This place is a vibe. The comedians are actually funny
Anna Toptalina
not a bad place to spend a funny evening, reasonable prices and a great atmosphere. but the hood doesn't work well, if they make French fries the smell is all over the place and not the best. Overall a good experience to visit there and spend an evening. Reasonable and polite staff
Sophia Kane
Not funny and overpriced. Went for the tight pants night and all 10 of the comics that performed were sub-par. Go to comedy cellar or the stand instead where you will actually laugh!

I attended a show last night, and while the comedians were fantastic (5 stars for them), the host brought the experience down (1 star). He made the audience uncomfortable with awkward, uncalled-for jokes sexual jokes—some of which were downright bizarre. Worse, he forgot the first comedian's name. His job was simple: warm up the crowd and introduce the acts, but he failed on both fronts.
The constant requests for applause felt forced and irritating; applause should be earned, not begged for. A host like Zack Duredt would have elevated the entire experience. With better hosting, this show could have been a 10/10."
