This behind-the-scenes history of the legendary New York City club includes interviews with many top standup comedians.
 
The Comic Strip on New York’s Second Avenue is a historic landmark as a comedy showcase, and generations of standup comedians have cherished it as a venue that fosters growth and camaraderie, experimentation and freedom.
