This group is for people who love to laugh and have a good time. I love going to comedy shows, but I usually end up going to alone. I have to do the 2 drink minimum alone and have to laugh alone. So I decided to create a meet up so all of us can laugh before, during and possible after the show.

The most fun and memorable nights I have in NYC seem to follow this pattern: Meet friends - Chitchat, break bread, grab a pint, etc. Attend Comedy Show - The less mainstream the better. Socialize - Go for drinks, dancing, or another random suggestion from someone in group. The linchpin is the Comedy Show since it always sets a great mood for the rest of the evening. Plus, who doesn't like laughing with friends, and checking out new shows? With that in mind this group's mission is to check out …

Stand Up Comedians Henry Cruz & Keith Fuerstenberg (Train Wreck Comedy) will suggest regular get-togethers for affordable "Comedy" events and Live Stand Up Comedy in New York City...that will also include social time before or after the event.

This is an easy-going group for adults who want to excercise their imaginations, stretch their social comfort zones, and laugh. We play games wherein the players are required to spontaneously improvise their actions according to a loose, pre-determined structure. Seasoned actors or complete newbies are welcome, but please be 18 or older. This group is less about honing one's acting skill and more about creating a social environment for taking risks... and for laughing!!
