Comedy Village, the live comedy venue located in the heart of Times Square, is marking Women’s Comedy History Month with a curated series of performances that highlight the contributions of women in stand-up comedy. The month-long celebration, running throughout March, features themed shows and nationally recognized talent, reinforcing the club’s reputation as a platform for both established and emerging comedians.
Founded by comedian PJ Landers, Comedy Village has long supported a diverse range of performers. This month’s lineup includes three themed shows: “Women of a Certain Age,” created and hosted by veteran comedian Carol Montgomery; “Chismosa,” featuring emerging Latina comics hosted by Paula J. Leon; and “Wang’s World,” spotlighting Asian women in comedy hosted by Taiwanese comedian Vicki Wang. These shows aim to showcase the breadth of comedic voices and experiences.
Audiences also have the opportunity to see nationally touring comedians such as Brittany Brave and Carmen Lynch. Brave, originally from Miami, has appeared on NBC, MTV, and The Wendy Williams Show, and was named a 2024 “Comic to Watch” at the New York Comedy Festival. Lynch, a bilingual comedian, has performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, with additional credits on Inside Amy Schumer and That Damn Michael Che.
As part of the celebration, Comedy Village is offering VIP admission for women to select shows this weekend, providing an enhanced experience in one of New York City’s most active comedy venues. “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.”
Originally founded in 2004 in Greenwich Village, Comedy Village expanded to Times Square in 2024 and now hosts nightly shows. The venue’s commitment to diversity and live comedy continues to attract both locals and visitors seeking entertainment in a bustling district.
