Rodney's Comedy Club brings live stand-up back to one of New York's most storied rooms. Since 1969, 1118 First Avenue has been home to comedy on the Upper East Side, first as Dangerfield's, the club Rodney Dangerfield opened, where comics like Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Jay Leno took the stage. After the club closed during the pandemic, local comedian Mark Yosef reopened the room as Rodney's, honoring its history while building a modern, inclusive lineup.

Today, Rodney's showcases established headliners alongside the city's sharpest up-and-comers, with weekly shows, open mics and showcases. Stay after the show for cocktails in a classic New York setting, or book the club for private events, corporate nights and celebrations.

How long is a show?

About ninety minutes. Doors open an hour before showtime, so there is time for a drink first.

Yes. Every show is 18 and over. Bring ID, the door will ask.

What if I arrive late?

Seating is first come, first served. Late arrivals get what is left, so aim for 30 minutes early.
