This tour is led by a real working NYC comedian who doesn’t just guide the experience — they perform in the live show at the end. You’ll get a fast, funny crash course in the history of stand‑up comedy as you walk through Greenwich Village, then see your guide take the stage alongside other New York comics. It’s the only tour that combines comedy history, insider storytelling, and a live stand‑up performance from your own guide.

I didn't know what to expect, what is a comedy HISTORY tour? But I soon found out about all the places where stand up was perfected! As I local I also enjoyed learning things I didn't know about NYC! Oh and the comedy show at the end was amazing!!!

I appreciate how easy you make it to get tickets and it’s always a great time especially when I get to see really funny people. No offense. It’s not always the case but I couldn’t do what anyone up there does. But it takes time

I’ve been to a couple of these shows and they never disappoint! The comedians are great, the atmosphere and crowd are always wonderful too. Prices are super reasonable and the locations are near other spots to go to for dinner or drinks before/after the show. I highly recommend if you’re in town!

Incredible tour! Takes you back in time and makes you appreciate the history grind of the NYC comedy scene that made some of the most legendary names. Simple to walk and hit all the spots, tour guide covered a ton of information and it ended with a dope comedy show with 2 free drinks which was included in the ticket. Highly recommend over the done and dusted touristy spots.
