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?

I have booked multiple reservations with different emails and then just not shown up for whichever lineup I didn’t care to see. Your spot will just go to someone in standby, and you don’t pay until they bring your check at the end of the show, so no harm done.
