History

Native New Yorkers Chris Mazzilli and Michael Reisman opened the original Gotham Comedy Club in May 1996 at a 3300 sqft space at 34 West 22nd Street (now occupied by The Metropolitan Room).

In May 2006 the Club moved two blocks northwest to a 1929 structure adjacent to the Hotel Chelsea. The new 10000 sqft venue has an Art Deco design with walls painted in red tones and hallways painted "Gotham Yellow." The entry walls feature photographer Dan Dion photographs of Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Lewis Black, and Chris Rock.
