Right now, the theater is slowly resuming performances with shows by Bill Maher, Tom Segura, Chelsea Handler, Gabriel Iglesias, and Jim Jefferies.
The Chelsea
The Cosmopolitan
Bill Burr‘s residency at the Cosmopolitan continues to roll on. The Chelsea is best known for concerts, but at 3,200 seats, the theater is still intimate enough to pack in the laughs for a comedy show.

Downtown
Delirious Comedy Club has a loose and easy atmosphere at the Downtown Grand hotel, just one block north of the Fremont Street Experience.
