It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

The Village Underground is part of the Comedy Cellar family, and it keeps a similar standard in terms of lineups and crowd energy. The space is larger than the original Cellar room, with a bit more room to breathe, but the comics still bring the same edge and pace.
I’ve gone when the Cellar was sold out and ended up with just as good a show. The space feels well-run, the crowd is into it, and the sets are consistently strong. If you’re downtown and want a comedy night that feels sharp and well-produced, which is why this one of the best comedy clubs in New York City.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
