Comedy Cellar MacDougal Street and Village Underground are technically part of the same Comedy Cellar family, sharing the same booking team and caliber of talent, but the rooms feel distinctly different. MacDougal is the original — the low-ceilinged, brick-walled basement at 117 MacDougal St that launched a thousand comedy careers and remains the room most people picture when they think "Comedy Cellar." Village Underground at 130 West 3rd Street is a larger, more modern space with higher ceilings and a wider stage. MacDougal's tight quarters create an intensity that's hard to replicate — you're practically in the comedian's lap. Village Underground offers better sightlines and a slightly more relaxed atmosphere. Both feature the same rotating lineup of A-list comics, so the comedy quality is identical. The choice comes down to whether you want the iconic intimate experience or a bit more room to breathe.
