TESTIMONIALS

Nice words from BCC peeps.

"There's a vital type of alternative comedy that's cheap and grimy and accessible and countercultural. BCC is keeping that style of comedy alive in New York City."

Chris Gethard (THE CHRIS GETHARD SHOW / BEAUTIFUL ANONYMOUS

"Nowadays when people ask me where they should go to see new, cool, cutting edge comedy - I say the BCC. It is the most surprising and innovative place for comedy in New York."

Kyle Gordon (THE SIMPSONS, COMEDY CENTRAL)

"I love BCC! A very welcoming space to develop the show of your dreamy dreams. Take advantage of your own backyard before it's sold for condos!"

Maria Bamford (LADY DYNAMITE, “The Funniest Woman in the World" - Judd Apatow).

"The BCC fosters an incredible sense of community. It really feels like home base. It's not only one of my favorite places to perform in NYC, but my favorite place to hang with friends."

Dylan Adler (THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDON)

"It feels like the community at the BCC has tripled. I think everyone's like wow this is becoming an institution now."

Chloe Troast (SNL)

“BCC taught me everything I know about comedy. I credit the teachers and the community with helping me hone my voice and trust myself as a comedian! Plus, it's the best place to hang out.”

Sophie Zucker (THE DAILY SHOW)

Britt Lower (Emmy Winner, SEVERANCE) shouts out her show @ BCC on Late Night w/ Seth Meyers.

ABOUT THE BCC

Since its debut in March 2018, the BCC has produced over 2000 shows featuring fearless and irreverent comedy from both up-and-coming, and top comedic talent. Notably, the BCC was the first major NYC comedy theater to pay its performers a significant cut of the box office, distinguishing them as a playground where experimentation and ingenuity are valued. The BCC survived and thrived during COVID, continuing to pay performers for online shows, and now produces 30 shows a week between two venues in East Williamsburg: Eris Evolution (167 Graham Ave, Brooklyn), a two theater space, and the BCC Pig Pen (144 Boerum St). Annually, the BCC produces the "Fun & Dumb Festival," one of the largest improv festivals in the world, which the New York Times has made the #1 pick of things to do in July in NYC for multiple years, and which hosted 600+ performers and 150+ shows over 4-days. From 2021-2024, the BCC has featured over 50 shows as part of the NY Comedy Festival, and produced two iterations of Pitchfest" - featuring 12 ready for development pilots, some of which sold to major comedy networks. The BCC offers a wide array of classes in improv, sketch, stand-up and more - available year-round - as well as corporate shows and workshops teaching the skills of improvisation to businesses and organizations of all sizes.
