Comedy Cellar (Las Vegas) Live
The longest-running comedy club in New York, Comedy Cellar is where audiences discovered such giants of stand-up as Ray Romano, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart, Amy Schumer and Dave Chappelle. Now fans in Las Vegas can discover more future stars — and catch established favorites, too — at the Comedy Cellar's thrilling new West Coast location.
Opened in 2018 as a 300-seat venue at Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, the Comedy Cellar offers the same intimacy and energy as the fabled club that inspired it. In creating the new outpost with Caesars Entertainment, Comedy Cellar owner Noam Dworman has replicated many of the original's most distinctive features as well as its special atmosphere.
Comedy fans can expect to see great sets by veterans of the Cellar's two New York clubs along with the best in new national and international talent. They may also be lucky enough to be there for spontaneous performances by comedy superstars playing elsewhere on the Strip.
Comedy Cellar (Las Vegas) Background
The Comedy Cellar's history began in 1982, when comic Bill Grundfest established a new club underneath a Greenwich Village restaurant. With a more intimate feel than many of New York's comedy hotspots, the Comedy Cellar soon became not just a space for the scene's best new talents to perform but a place where they wanted to hang out, too.
The roster of comedians who became regulars at the Cellar includes Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart and Aziz Ansari. It's where Jerry Seinfeld chose to shoot much of his 2002 documentary Comedian. It can also be seen in stage segments in Louis C.K.'s series Louie and Chris Rock's film Top Five.
In 2018, Noam Dworman — who inherited the Cellar from his father Manny — opened the club's first West Coast location in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Closely replicating the original's look and atmosphere, it has become the place to see the country's funniest performers in the kind of warm, intimate room that comedians themselves love best.
One of the best shows and values on Las Vegas. Wife and I are locals and have started becoming regulars to this show. The quality of talent of excellent and who doesn't want to laugh for an hour and half solid. Highly recommend.
Exactly how a comedy night should be, FUNNY!! Didn’t drag on to long, 4 comics all of them great!
The venue and show were nice but I would have like some sort of snack or food for purchase in addition to drinks.
Unfortunately the Grandkids thought "be ready to go to dinner at 5:00 PM"meant 5:40 PM. By the time we got to dinner I knew we'd be late for the show. I also knew we were doomed and open targets for the comedians. Only 2 out of 4 took deserved shots at us. The first guy was merciful on us and the 4th guy was brutal, but hilarious and justified. We were laughing right along with everyone else. Our 30+ years of experience at Comedy Clubs is the headliner is usually a bust, one comedian has you crying you are laughing so hard and the other is good. The Comedy Cellar usually has an MC and 4 comedians. All are usually great and they did not disappoint this time, even though we were the brunt of some of the humor. I also agree with the 18 and over rule for the patrons because some of the subject matter could not be appropriate for young kids. Well worth the price of admission.
The comedians were so talented. They had us in stiches all night. I loved how small the room was so we all had great seats.
Comedian line-up was decent. Seating was cramped and arriving early didn’t necessarily get you a better seat than those who wandered in much later. A little disappointing.
Clean, friendly, funny. Would 100% revisit as a local.
Great show! Comics were so entertaining and funny! They each handled a few difficult people in the crowd like pros. Will go again on next Vegas trip!
Intimate venue, comics did a lot of crowd work. All were very funny. Would definately go back.
Not worth the money, not funny, $140 for 2 people with no laughs
The Comedy Cellar had good comedians. The club /sesting was comfortable. Parking was easy at the Rio Casino. Happy hour/ gambling and people watching worked well with the 7 pm show.
This was our 2nd time. We returned because the first show was awesome. All the comedians had us laughing the entire time. Also parking was free and easy and easy to get to. We were very excited about going again. The second time , all the same great things except the comedians were not great. The entire audience could tell and really was just waiting for it to end. So best advice is to research the comedians, but the venue was good.
They were all hilarious and we had a great time laughed the whole show. All the people were really nice too. Will definitely go back for more fun !
We booked the VIP seating area and sat on the second row of tables. Perfect intimate venue, drink service was fab. Now the comedians/host...... AMAZING! We all had a fantastic evening with LOTS of 'laugh out loud' moments. Really really enjoyable and would certainly recommend.
It was a good show. Pay for the VIP. You get right up front.
We attended a Wednesday show. The room was a little more than half full, but the show was great. Hands down the best value in Vegas. Laugh out loud hilarious.
Loved the Comedy Cellar! Great lineup, hilarious host, superb service and Gary at the Bar treated us right!!! I'll be back.
Worth it. 3-D visual experience on approx 180x180 degree screen. Sound is excellent (Sat in 300 section). Seats vibrate in accordance with the visual and sound choreography. Comfortable seats, a bit steep for those sensitive to height, suggest purchase of a seat below 300 section. Employees are very friendly, welcoming. Rideshare outside very close to main entrance. Overall, very clean.
Great club Excellent service Outstanding comics Will be back!!
All the comics were hilarious and out on a great show!
