Comedy Village Celebrates First Anniversary as Times Square's Premier Comedy Destination
Comedy Village marks its one-year anniversary as Times Square's leading comedy venue, having hosted legendary performers and rising stars while establishing itself as a vital community hub for diverse comedic talent.
Comedy Village has solidified its position as Times Square's premier stage for stand-up comedy since opening its doors in August 2024. The venue has successfully attracted both comedy legends and emerging talents, creating a unique platform where established performers and newcomers share the same stage, offering audiences comprehensive exposure to the stand-up comedy spectrum.
Founded by longtime New York comedian, actor, veteran, and writer PJ Landers, the club was built on a vision that combines an upscale, audience-first atmosphere with the authentic energy of a classic New York comedy venue. Landers stated, "One year ago, we set out to create a space where audiences could feel the raw, unfiltered magic of stand-up comedy — and where both legends and newcomers could shine." The venue now stands as not just a performance space but a recognized comedy community.
The club's programming includes shows seven nights weekly, with two performances from Sunday through Thursday and three shows every Friday and Saturday. This consistent schedule has made Comedy Village a central hub for various comedy styles, ranging from sharp observational humor to fearless political satire and everything in between.
In its inaugural year, Comedy Village has hosted an impressive roster of comedy icons including Bill Burr, T.J. Miller, Dave Attell, Judah Friedlander, Ben Bailey, and Donnell Rawlings. Simultaneously, the venue has provided crucial exposure for rising talents such as Eagle Witt and Brittany Brave, demonstrating its commitment to nurturing the next generation of comedians.
To commemorate its first anniversary, Comedy Village is offering a special promotion: 50% off tickets this week only with code HappyBirthday at https://comedyvillage.com.

By blending established talent with emerging voices, the venue contributes to the evolution of stand-up comedy while maintaining the authentic club atmosphere that has defined New York's comedy scene for decades.
