New York Comedy Club To Open Soon In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — Get ready to laugh, Stamford. New York Comedy Club is finally opening its doors.

According to their website, the club is set to officially open its first Connecticut location at 230 Tresser Blvd., and the Stamford Town Center on Feb. 11.

The 4,500-square-foot club is in the former space of Plan B Burger Bar, alongside Capital Grille, Peter Chang, Pieology, Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse and soon-to-be Mexican restaurant Puerto Vallarta, on the mall's restaurant plaza.

The grand opening event featuring a handful of comedians scheduled for 7 p.m., and 9:30 p.m., is already sold out.

Tickets are on sale for future events, including a special Valentine's Day show with comedians Christian Finnegan, Maddy Smith, Matt Pavich and Maximillian Spinelli.

There are general admission tickets, along with special packages that offer complimentary champagne or unlimited drink service.

New York Comedy Club announced last June that it was coming to Stamford. There are two other locations in midtown Manhattan and the East Village.

The Stamford outpost will include a full-service bar area with plenty of seating and a separate room that comfortably accommodates 150 guests.

At the time of their announcement last year, club owners Emilio Savone and Scott Lindner called the opening in Stamford a "no brainer."

Stamford Town Center General Manager Dan Stolzenbach said the club will be a welcome addition to the mall and the downtown scene.

"This will be a major draw for local customers and an evening destination for the entire region. We anticipate customers making a night of it, coming to have a nice dinner, and then going to watch a great show," Stolzenbach said in a news release last summer. "There are only a couple venues in the entire state that provide this type of excellent dining and world-class entertainment in such close proximity to one another. Customers can valet park, dine at their preferred restaurant, and then head right to a show to top off their evening."
