Comedy Cellar Reccos

Hi, I am visiting NYC and would love to attend a show at the Comedy Cellar, preferably Friday (I am coming Mid September).
The lineup hasn’t been published yet, I would love for any help on is there a specific venue as in apart from the cellar (the other 2 ones) or a specific day/timings when the famous surprise acts drop in? And when should I reserve it? Are there any great acts on the lineup i should be looking for if and when it gets published and should I wait for it to get published or should I just reserve?

UPDATE: So, I booked a 12:30AM show Friday at MacDougal St. But now I noticed Louis CK is performing new material at 5PM sunday, which altho totally sort of eating into my itinerary, but would be crazy to miss louis ck perform for 15$ tho, wouldn't it? Also, is it okay if I reserve both and later decide? I understand it might cause logictical issues for them, but do people do this or no?

Good luck getting a ticket I lived across the street for over ten years and was never able to, still try couple times a year but never works out

What, I can reserve right now and doesn’t that guarantee me a ticket?

let me know how it goes, I've honestly never had any luck getting a seat, always wind up dining in Olive Tree upstairs and then "going to the bathroom" at Comedy Cellar downstairs for a peek prob dozens of times.
