NEW YORK CITY’S BEST COMEDY SHOWCASE
The Industry Room is a comedy show that offers comedians the opportunity for industry exposure and professional development. Each show is attended by the main club booker of the Broadway Comedy Club as well as the club’s New Talent Director. After the show, the club booker will give you personal, one-on-one feedback on your set. Each show is also attended by a respected Manager, Agent or Casting Director. One comic from each show is selected for a 1-2 month residency at Broadway Comedy Club. Our residency is an intensive program, whereby Comic Residents receive multiple spots so that they can quickly accelerate their professional growth and development. Some of the other comics on the show will receive one-week residencies. You will perform on the club’s World Famous Richard Pryor Main Stage. You will also get a free recording of your set.
Please note: This is not an open mic—this is a real show in-front of a packed New York City audience.

COMEDY CLASSES
STAND UP COMEDY CLASSES
Are you interested in stand up comedy but need a little structure or guidance to help get you started? Have you tried comedy before but hit a roadblock? Then, our beginner’s class may be for you.
Want to try standup comedy but just don’t know where to begin? Join this class to learn the skills you need to start your comedy adventure. If you’ve already been grinding it out in the New York scene for a few years, this class will help to elevate your comedy chops and take it to the next level!
The class will be led by Jocelyn Chia, an international touring comedian and a regular at the New York clubs including Broadway Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, the Comedy Cellar, Standup NY, Comic Strip Live, West Side Comedy Club and Rodney’s. You will learn the ins and outs of mining your experiences for material, crafting jokes, owning the stage, mindset, and rising up the NYC comedy ladder, all in a fun and supportive environment.
The class will culminate in a graduation show at the main stage of Broadway Comedy Club, and you will get a tape of your performance which can be used to submit to festivals and club bookers. The booker of Broadway Comedy Club will also review your tape and offer you feedback and potentially a spot(s) on the pro shows!
Jocelyn is one of the few professional comics who can both do and teach Due to her heavy touring schedule she rarely runs classes. This will be her first class in 4 year. So it is a rare opprtunity to learn from one of the best.
