Comedy Village Closes
Filed Under Stand-Up Comedy
I caught the second to last show at New York’s Comedy Village (formerly the Boston Comedy Club) this past Saturday. I wasn’t a regular at the club, but it definitely had its place in the comedy scene. As Joey Gay said at the end of his story about a rowdy audience: “At this comedy club you can throw five ashtrays at a comedian and still not be thrown out and that’s the kind of comedy club NYC needs.”

The Baggot Inn next door closed as well. It was a great place to go after the comedy shows.
