Dangerfield's, Comedy club in Upper East Side, New York City, US.
Dangerfield's is a comedy venue in the Upper East Side with an intimate stage designed for stand-up performances. The club accommodates around 200 spectators and offers full bar service along with food and snacks during shows.
The club was founded in 1969 by stand-up comedian Rodney Dangerfield as a stage for live comedy performances. It operated continuously for over five decades before temporarily closing in 2020.
The venue served as a launching point for comedians to develop their craft and build dedicated audiences. Many performers who became household names got their start or refined their act by performing regularly on this stage.
The club operates primarily in the evenings when comedy shows take place and stays open until 2 AM on weekends. Arrive early to secure a good seat, as the compact size means seating fills quickly during popular performances.
The club maintains a strict policy of presenting only professional headliners and does not feature amateur nights, setting it apart from many other comedy venues. This commitment to professional-quality performances has been central to how the venue presents itself throughout its history.
