Q: Looking for recommendations in Manhattan, for a Friday night.
A: One of the cheapest and better comedy club is called HA Comedy Club its on 163 West 46th St. It is around $7 to get in but you have to buy 2 drinks.
Their's another one in the Times Square area is called the Times Square Art Center, formerly called the Laugh Factory it on 669 8th Ave. It's around $20 to get in plus a 2 drink minimum.
On the Upper East Side is Comic Strip Live 1568 Second Ave. That's a nice one too and most people really enjoy this one.
In the village are:
* Comedy Cellar at 117 MacDougal St
* Comedy Village 82 W 3rd St
If you have deep pockets, there is the always Carolines on at 1626 Broadway.
Best nights are Friday and Saturday.
If you are brave and want to go on stage, call ahead and see.
