Comedy Clubs on Long Island

Long Island’s comedy scene is active year-round, with dedicated clubs, recurring showcase nights, and larger theaters that occasionally bring in nationally touring comics. Whether you are in Nassau or Suffolk County, you can still find everything from intimate stand-up rooms to headline sets in bigger venues. Longtime favorites such as Governor’s in Levittown, The Brokerage in Bellmore, and McGuire’s in Bohemia remain closely associated with the Island’s comedy tradition.

In addition to full-time comedy clubs, venues in places like Huntington and Port Jefferson regularly book stand-up as part of a broader entertainment calendar. Because comedy schedules can shift quickly with touring routes, holidays, and special events, it is always smart to check the latest lineup, age policy, and ticket details before heading out.
