Go Out For a Laugh

Something I rarely do is go out  with the intention to laugh - I go out to eat, I go out to drink and I even go out to dance - but not to laugh.  It is kind of weird when you think about it - who doesn't like a good laugh?

Believe it or not, New York has a ton of establishments designed just for people to go out and laugh!  One such place is Comix, a comedy club on West 14th Street and 9th Avenue.  Comix's slogan is actually, "Life's tough. Laugh more," which I definitely think is a great phrase for New Yorkers to hear.  You can find comedians of all levels depending on the night you head to Comix, but I suggest stopping by for one of their Tuesday night New Talent Shows ($15), which is what actually got me into Comix in the first place.  I went to go see my friend Sam Pepper in one of his first stand-up shows over the summer and I was literally blown away with laughter (I honestly do not think I have laughed as much since!).  There were first timers, old timers, TV stars and more all performing on the same stage.  To tell you the truth I was pretty skeptical heading over, but the show was so dynamic it kept my attention (and me laughing) the entire time - the comics only get five minutes each so if you are not so fond of one its no big deal.

So next time you need a laugh on a Tuesday, or any night of the week head over to Comix with the intention to laugh!
