Just put a smile on your face...it is contagious

In NYC you have the opportunity to discover or rediscover well comedians, most of the places asked you for drinking at least 2 beverages... plus and entrance! On the other hand, and because this is a free based website, here are some sugestions of "we wont gonna impose you to drink" comedy clubs: 8:30pm: comedians tyler fischer and sagar bhatt's weekly 'tyler and sagar' show at the west village's cafe vivaldi features guests janeane garofalo, george flanagan, jason burke and charlie kasov. free, no drink min. 1-7pm (9/6 @ book court): comedian dave hill celebrates the paperback release of his new book tasteful nudes with a six-hour reading at the west village's big gay ice cream (61 grove st). free. Whiplash – If you’re only gong to see one standup show while in New York, you’re doing it wrong. Nonetheless, Whiplash is the clear winner, one of the crown jewels of the alt scene. The free late night show is a mix of up-and-comers doing their best material and established comics trying out new stuff. It’s also a favorite for really big names, with recent drop-ins including Chris Rock, Aziz Ansari, and David Cross. With regular host Leo Allen splitting time between coasts, you’re as likely to get a guest host these days, chosen from the best of NY’s rising comics. Monday, 11pm • Free, but reservations recommended • Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre Big Terrific – Despite the departure of former co-hosts Jenny Slate and Gabe Liedman, this Williamsburg standup show remains a must-see in the New York standup scene. Hosted by Max Silvestri in an airless black box behind the Lovin' Cup Cafe, the show is a hipster haven and favorite spot for local and visiting comics alike. New Yorkers like John Mulaney and Jessi Klein can be seen regularly, while visitors like Sarah Silverman make a point of swinging by when in town. Wednesday, 8:30pm • Free • Cameo last but not least....Comedy as a Second Language – Tucked into an always crowded room at the back of this East Village bar, Comedy as a Second Language has a loyal following of both crowds and comics. Host Chesley Calloway and producer Rebecca Trent have cultivated a comedy friendly crowd, giving lesser-known comics a chance to shine in an enthusiastic environment. Nationally known visiting comics are also likely to including CSL on their itinerary while visiting New York. Thursday, 9pm • Free • Kabin Ben & Josh and produced by Giulio Gallarotti (of MTV’s Totally Clueless), starts at 10 p.m. in the basement of Lower East Side bar Fat Baby — and includes the occasional strange prize and a DJ with a scary face mask. You’ll laugh, things will get very weird, it will be fun; you never know who’ll make a guest appearance. (Bonus: The bar next door, Verlaine, has $5 HAPPY HOUR UNTIL 10 if you’re OK with shelling out a couple of bills and you like getting drunk.
