Clubbing & Nightlife Cheaper Than Therapy Stand-up Comedy
Cheaper Than Therapy runs live stand-up comedy shows Wednesday through Sunday, year-round, at the Shelton Theater in Union Square. Each show features five to six hand-picked, experienced comedians along with occasional surprise guest drop-ins. Doors open at 7pm and the full bar is ready for you. Arrive by 7:30pm to check in at the box office, last seating is at 8:05pm and the show kicks off at 7:45pm sharp. Every show wraps by 9:15pm, making it an easy weeknight out. There’s no drink minimum, so grab a craft drink, settle into a good seat, and let someone else do the heavy lifting for a couple of hours.
