Nick Turner writes about what the Creek means to New York comedians:

I perform maybe a quarter of all of my NY stand up sets at The Creek.  Way more than on any other stage, I have learned how to be a comedian at The Creek.  No other full time comedy venue allows the freedom and the stage time together that this venue provides.

There’s are roughly 10 open mics a week on two stages.  There is a podcast network with roughly a dozen podcasts with tens of thousands of listeners. there are 20 independently produced comedy shows a week.  Stand Up, Sketch, Improv, Short Films, Plays, Music, and any other relevant kind of comedy that exists is showcased here.  If you look closely you can see The Creek in the background of dozens of comedy shorts made by people who know that whatever idea they can conceive, it can be realized within these walls…

I was going to write a post on this subject, but Nick says it better. If you support comedy in New York City, support the Creek.

This is important. This is very important.

The Creek is the closest thing I have to a home in New York comedy. I truly believe it’s the place the next generation of comedians in New York are going to come from. Please donate and help!

If you like comedy and if you like the idea of giving young comics, improvisers, actors, musicians and artists a home where they can perform regularly and without the pressure to compromise their artistic growth for profit, then contribute to the Creek’s Kickstarter. 

Help transform what’s already an amazing home for alternative comedy into a legit and lasting comedy club. 

DO IT! (I did.)

I gave $5. This is a really worthy cause. The Creek and the Cave is the only place that actually gives a shit about up-and-coming comics.
