Carolines on Broadway

Located in the heart of Times Square, Carolines on Broadway presents the best live comedy entertainment seven nights a week. Just steps from many of Broadwayʼs theaters, Carolines on Broadway provides the same quality entertainment one has come to expect on The Great White Way. Carolines first opened as a cabaret in Chelsea in 1982. Owner Caroline Hirsch, a lifelong comedy fan, soon began booking comedians, including now legendary performers like Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Jay Leno As comedyʼs popularity surged in the 80s, so did Carolinesʼ popularity, and the club moved to the historic South Street Seaport where it established itself as the countryʼs top comedy venue. It also served as home to A&E ʼs popular award-winning series, “Carolineʼs Comedy Hour.” When the club relocated to its current home at 49th and Broadway in 1992, it presented the country’s top comedians — including Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, Lewis Black, Tracy Morgan, and Kevin Hart, to name a few — in a sophisticated, state-of-the-art nightclub, bringing the comedy experience to new heights. Today, Carolines on Broadway is a New York institution and holds center stage in the heart of Times Square as one of NYCʼs most popular and enduring nightspots and only genuine nightclubs. The 300-seat club with an elegant decor received critical acclaim when it received the American Institute of Architecture Award for Best Interior Club Design and was featured on the cover of Interior Design Magazine.
