Arthur Ave new Poster Wednesday IG 1080×1080

Arthur Avenue Comedy’s Fordham Stand-Up Wednesday is where you go in the Bronx to hear top comics from TV and NYC’s major clubs performing long sets on an intimate stage. Past performers include comedians from HBO, Netlfix, Colbert, SNL, the Daily Show, Letterman, the Tonight Show, Comedy Central, and more. Every week, Ben Asher’s presents comedy that reaches up into your brain with the force of a fist through the nose.

Every Wednesday you can hear some of the most talented comics perform long sets, that other shows don’t give them the time to perform. Arthur Avenue Comedy is your chance to get to really watch comedians flex their muscles and hit their stride on stage, at Clinton Hall, where you can eat a drink the most delicious craft food and beers on tap in the city.

Line-ups will be posted the week of the show here or you can follow @the_ben_asher on Instagram

Press: In addition to being a TimeOut New York ‘Critics Pick’, TimeOut NY has frequently called Ben’s show the “best cheap things to do,” of the week and one of the “most amazing things to do” of the month, and the New York Times has listed it show as an editor’s choice multiple times.
