Opened in September 2006 in Manhattan's booming Meatpacking District, Comix has quickly defined itself as the premier Comedy Club in New York City. Comix is Zagat's highest rated comedy venue, and was dubbed "one of the top six clubs in the country" by the Hollywood Reporter. Comix was also named the top headliner club in New York City by both GrandLife and Digital City.

Upon entering Comix, make your way into The Copper Room, a chic lounge named for its impressive copper bar. It's the perfect spot to enjoy after work drinks, tapas or dinner with friends. The Copper Room is also home to the hippest happy hour in the city with $3 draught beer and $5 well drinks from 5:30 PM-7:30 PM Monday through Saturday.

TOM SHILLUE'S "TELL: WORLDS COLLIDE"

Tom Shillue is a storyteller that is largely responsible for making storytelling shows hip in New York City. He's been on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, had his own Comedy Central Presents, and has wowed audiences with his one man show "Supernormal", and on June 3rd, he returns to Comix with another edition of Tell: Worlds Collide. On this show, Tom invites performers from different genres, like improv, sketch, standup comedy, and storytelling, and has them tell the best stories they have. Instead of your usual comedy show, where performers make up fake situations and do impressions, come to a show where the performers show you a bit of themselves while cracking you up. Past shows have featured Michael Showalter and Aasif Mandvi, check out SNL's Jessi Klein and more at this month's show!
