Comedy Village, a live comedy venue in Times Square, is celebrating Women’s Comedy History Month with a curated series of performances that spotlight women in stand-up comedy. The club, founded by comedian PJ Landers, has built a reputation for supporting both established performers and emerging voices, and this month’s programming continues that tradition.
Throughout March, the venue will host themed performances including “Women of a Certain Age,” created and hosted by veteran comedian Carol Montgomery; “Chismosa,” featuring emerging Latina comics and hosted by Paula J. Leon; and “Wang’s World,” which highlights Asian women in comedy, hosted by Taiwanese comedian Vicki Wang. These shows are designed to showcase the range and impact of women in comedy, from seasoned professionals to rising stars.
As part of the celebration, Comedy Village is offering VIP admission for women to select shows this weekend, providing audiences with an opportunity to experience live stand-up in one of New York City’s most active comedy venues. The lineup also includes nationally recognized talent such as Brittany Brave and Carmen Lynch. Brave, a New York-based comedian originally from Miami, has appeared on NBC, MTV, The Wendy Williams Show, and SiriusXM, and was named a 2024 “Comic to Watch” at the New York Comedy Festival. Lynch, a bilingual comedian, has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, along with credits including Inside Amy Schumer and That Damn Michael Che.
“Comedy Village has always been about giving great comics a stage,” said Landers. “This month, we’re proud to highlight some of the women shaping comedy today and give them a platform in the heart of Times Square.”
With nightly shows and a rotating lineup of performers, Comedy Village continues to position itself as a destination for both locals and visitors seeking live comedy in New York City. Originally founded in 2004 in Greenwich Village, the club expanded to Times Square in 2024 and now hosts nightly shows in one of the world’s busiest entertainment districts. The venue provides a platform for a diverse range of comedians while offering audiences a consistent schedule of live performances.
