Comedy Clubs on Long Island

Audience at a comedy club
Long Island has supported a lively stand-up scene for decades, from now-closed local rooms to longstanding favorites such as Governor’s in Levittown, The Brokerage in Bellmore, and McGuire’s in Bohemia. Today, dedicated comedy clubs share the spotlight with theaters and event spaces that bring in touring comics throughout the year. File photo: Grusho Anna, licensed.

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.

Tips for Visiting Comedy Clubs on Long Island

  • Arrive early for better seats: Many shows use general admission or first-come seating within ticket tiers.
  • Review minimums and fees: Some clubs have food or beverage minimums, service charges, or special event pricing.
  • Check the lineup and showtime carefully: Clubs may book local showcases, touring comics, podcast tapings, and headliners on different nights.
  • Plan transportation ahead: Parking availability varies, and late shows may end after regular dinner-hour traffic. If you are drinking, use a designated driver or rideshare.
  • Confirm age and device policies: Some shows are 18+ or 21+, and many venues do not allow recording during performances.
