mission
To Comedians and Comedy fans in and around Jersey City,
We hope to serve as a central comedy hub for northern NJ. A place where comedy lovers can find upcoming shows on this side of the Hudson and where comedians can connect, increase their reach and showcase their talents to the local community.
We hope to bridge the gap between the dense local population seeking entertainment and the amazing local talent looking to perform and work on their material. As we continue to grow, we aim to continue building out features to form dual communities of comedy lovers and performers.

kill tony prep mic
Kill Tony is in town and to prepare, we cooked up a special Kill Tony edition of the open mic. Comics were allowed 1 minute of standup and anyone who went over got the roar from the angry West Village bear. Comics were then interviewed for 4 minutes by a panel of NJ comics. We even set up a sound board with sound bites ranging from cat meows to the ‘It’s Raining Men’ song. We tried to make it as close to the real thing as possible and it paid off. We had one of our highest attendance records to date, welcoming comics from NYC and deep into South Jersey.

Inaugural comedy night
We would like to thank the audience and comedians that came out on April 9th to our free inaugural event in downtown Jersey City. The local comedic talent is diverse and off the charts. We hope to continue providing local comics a platform to freely practice their material and network. Very special thanks to Adrienne Iapalucci - who took the time to drop in and close out the show. It was a real privilege to have her join us and we appreciate her support for local comedy. We would also like to thank the audience that came out to enjoy the show. We appreciate your support late night on a weekday. We will continue to host Open Mic nights for all of the remaining Tuesdays in April, while still marketing to attract a local audience. We hope this comedy series continues to succeed and gather support so we can continue and expand the comedy scene in Jersey City. Lastly we would like to thank our sponsors UBL Roofing and Petshop for their support in making this night possible.
