Eight of the Best Places in Brooklyn To See Live Comedy
Cameo Gallery
Turns out, the glittery stuff hanging from the ceiling here that’s always been so perfect for illuminating bands looks just as cool hanging over standups, albeit in a slightly different, hard-to-pin-down way. You should decide for yourself at their superlative (and totally free) Big Terrific shows every Wednesday. Max Silvestri now hosts the show on his own since his co-conspirators Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate both moved to L.A., but all the more reason to keep going, just for the sake of obstinate coastal loyalty. Also, Silvestri is always wonderful and continues to draw a stellar lineup of acts like Reggie Watts to a much smaller venue than you’d normally find them in, alongside consistently great up-and-comers. So, there’s that.
