DoublePlusGood Comedy

Ben Asher's DoublePlusGood Comedy show brings you comedy that reaches up into your brain with the force of a fist through the nose. Top comics from TV and NYC's major clubs performing long sets on an intimate stage. Past performers include comedians from HBO, Netlfix, Colbert, SNL, the Daily Show, Letterman, the Tonight Show, Comedy Central, and more.

Every month you can hear some of the most talented comics perform long sets, that other shows don't give them the time to perform. DoublePlusGood Comedy is your chance to get to really watch comedians flex their muscles and hit their stride on stage, at the West Side Comedy Club, where you can eat and drink the most delicious food in the city from Playa Betty's.
