What the community has to say about Times Square Arts Center

Information about this business (3)

The club's owner, Jamie Masada, built the Laugh Factory from the ground up. He came to the United States at the age of 14 armed with a little money and a dream of becoming a famous comic. Working odd jobs and saving every penny, Masada eventually opened his Laugh Factory in a tiny storefront on the famous Sunset Strip in 1979. As the club grew, so did its reputation.

Today the Laugh Factory is...

Right in the heart of the Theater District, TSAC showcases off-the-beaten track plays and productions, acting as a sounding board for established and emerging talents.

An established Los Angeles comedy club takes on the Big Apple.

In Short

Cupid's Comedy Show and Dinner

So this Valentines Day (02/14/11) was the first V-day for my wife and I as a married couple. I wanted to do something special and memorable. So went to NYC and I got tickets to Cupid's Comedy Show and Dinner and upgraded to VIP seats, which was supposed to inlcude, a rose for my wife, a dinner each, 2 drinks, and a dessert to split. Thinking this was gonna be romantic I was pretty excited, until we got there... What I expected was a nice theater, with booth seating, like what you see when you watch comedy central and a decent dinner, pasta's and chicken, nothing too fancy, but classy. When...

Recently I went to this place for NYE with a friend of mine. We decided to go here since this place had an open bar from 7pm-2am with the promise of going outside and watching the ball drop. We dont go to Times Square on NYE but we wanted to do something else that seemed exciting to do. Boy we were wrong!! We had got there for the 7pm opening but we had to wait on a line that snaked around the building with people on the crowded sidewalk passing by. As we waited to get inside, we were told that once we get in we cant go out again. This was a disappointment for us since we had been promised...

Their shows are extremely funny!!!

Totally not a humorous experience. We were hoping for laughs and good times, but instead these uptight 'comedy' guys were rude when taking our reservation, seating us, and checking us out. I guess they have enough business.

Big fat waste of time and money. I suppose its a place for amateur comics to hone their talent. However the venue empties your pocket big time. BEWARE!

Time Square Art Center was founded in 2004, and is located at 669 8th Ave in New York.

Times Square Arts Center, located in the Broadway Theater district hosts entertainment events of highest quality. The place boasts of five grand halls where several events can take place simultaneously, and excellent dining facilities. The venue, with its convenient location and competent organizers is a most sought after one for cultural activities.

An open mic competition and stand up hall of fame will be coming soon to the Laugh Factory. Although owner Jamie Masada doesn't care about big name comics, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Roseanne, and Robin Williams are just some of the acts that have graced his stage. Many TV shows and films have also been hosted here, so expect a great atmosphere and performance.
