Cheaper Than Therapy Stand-up Comedy
Cheaper Than Therapy brings live stand-up comedy to the historic Shelton Theater in the heart of Union Square, with shows running Wednesday through Sunday year-round. Each night features five to six hand-picked, experienced comedians plus the occasional surprise guest drop-in. Doors open at 7pm and the show kicks off at 7:45pm — plan to arrive by 7:30pm for box office check-in. Last seating is at 8:05pm and shows wrap by 9:15pm, making it an easy weeknight or weekend outing. The theater has a full bar with no drink minimum, so come a little early, grab a craft drink, and settle into a good seat before the laughs start.
