While over a million people prepare to stand for hours in Times Square's restricted viewing zones without access to food, drink, or restrooms, Comedy Village Times Square offers a more comfortable alternative. Located at 352 West 44th Street, just a four-minute walk from the heart of Times Square, the venue will host two New Year's Eve comedy shows on December 31, with showtimes at 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
Guests can enjoy a reserved seat, indoor restrooms, food and drinks, and a warm space to celebrate before heading back outside to take in the New Year's energy. The 8:00 PM show runs from 8:00 to 9:30 PM and is ideal for those who want a full comedy experience before exploring Times Square later. The 10:00 PM show runs from 10:00 to 11:30 PM and includes a built-in New Year's countdown, pausing shortly before midnight so guests can celebrate together indoors.
Each show features top comedic talent, including Dante Nero, seen on NBC's Blacklist and Chappelle Show; Eagle Witt from MTV's Wild 'N Out; and PJ Landers, seen on Netflix. Guests attending the 10 PM show will ring in midnight from inside the club and can watch the ball drop live on the club's multiple monitors. After midnight, guests are allowed to enter Times Square to enjoy the electric atmosphere at the Crossroads of the World. Party favors are provided, and a complimentary champagne toast is offered at the close of the 10 PM show.
"We're thrilled to be back for our second New Year's Eve in Times Square, and the excitement is bigger than ever," says PJ Landers, Comedy Village owner and comedian. "There's nothing like celebrating the biggest night of the year just a block from the ball drop. We can't wait to welcome guests for a night filled with laughter, community, and everything that makes New York the greatest city in the world."
Tickets are $50 per person for the 8 PM show and $65 per person for the 10 PM show. To purchase tickets, visit ComedyVillage.com or call (347) 788-1781. Both shows are expected to sell out.
