My wife and I came to NYC to see as much comedy as possible, so naturally when we saw this tour being offered, we decided to give it a go. And it was awesome!! Joe was a tremendously informed and humorous guide. He took his time explaining all the spots, so we never felt rushed. He had lots of visuals too which kept our attention, and provided lots of interesting unknown facts. We mostly walked around the Village neighborhood, and with the tour being only 2hrs, we never felt exhausted. I highly suggest this tour to anyone who is interested in history, comedy, or just wants a good time!

This was an amazing walking tour! Our tour guide Joe was personable, funny and very knowledgeable about the comedy scene in New York. He gave us loads of insider knowledge about all the best comedy clubs to go to and he gave me a free ticket to a comedy gig after the tour. He also gave us some cool history trivia which I had no idea about!

Joe the tour guide was brilliant. Very helpful and informative not just about the tour but information on New York as a while. We loved it and then had a fantastic night of comedy at the stand on the evening.
