The Professional Comedians Association of New York, New York, voted Comedy Off Broadway one of the top five comedy clubs in North America. It was in comedian Jeff Foxworthy and USA Today's top 10 list. New shows premiere every few days, and have included comedians such as Chris Thomas, Jonathan Gotsick, Jon Reep and Jimmy Pardo. The club hosts a yearly open mic contest, in which participants perform on a weekly basis. Two winners are picked from each round, and 10 finalists perform in the final round. The establishment does not serve food; however, they do require each guest to purchase at least one beverage, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
