The Boston Comedy Club was an American comedy club that was located at 82 West 3rd Street in Greenwich Village, New York City between Thomspson Street and Sullivan Street.
The club was open from 1988 to 2005 and was a starting point for comedians such as Sarah Silverman, Jim Gaffigan, Neal Brennan, Adam Sandler, Jeff Ross, Bert Kreischer and Pete Holmes.
The Boston Comedy Club was founded in 1988 by comedy talent manager and producer Barry Katz. Katz started as a stand-up comedian in Boston in the 1980s, later becoming a booking agent for other comedians. Katz also opened up a talent agency in New York City and Louis C.K., whom Katz met while in Boston, was his first client. C.K. also helped Katz to install the wiring and lighting at the Boston Comedy Club and was the first comedian to perform there.
