The Fat Black Pussycat is a stand-up comedy club located at 130 West 3rd St, New York, NY 10012.
The Comedy Cellar at 117 Minetta Lane is the most famous comedy club in the world. Founded in 1982 beneath the Olive Tree Cafe in Greenwich Village, it is the room where Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Amy Schumer perform unannounced on a regular basis. The club runs two shows nightly, seven days a week, with a lineup that is never announced in advance — you pay for the room, not a specific comedian. That policy is the reason the best comedians in the world use it as a workshop. The room seats approximately 110 people at small cabaret tables with a clear sightline to a brick-wall stage. A two-item minimum (food or drinks) is enforced. The club also operates the Village Underground at 130 W 3rd Street, a slightly larger room with the same booking philosophy. Tickets are released on Monday mornings for the following week; weekend shows sell out within hours.
