Carolines on Broadway
Description
Even comics who are regulars at the city’s other stand-up rooms have to work extra hard to get stage time at this venerable institution. Carolines is the best place to see marquee names, including sitcom-ready stars, familiar faces from the ’80s comedy boom, Friars Club–style spritzers and cable-special ravers. You probably won’t see anything especially edgy or underground, but tourists looking for the sort of evening to write home about will leave satisfied. Show times vary.
