Through our parent company, Future Days Entertainment, we also offer talent management (Forza), live and studio recording (Pinch), and a ticketing platform that is customized to the needs of comedy clubs (Standuptix). "This Manhattan hotspot is super traditional with brick walls, neon signs, and classic theater lighting. The club is unapologetically New York City—authentic, no-frills, and just plain awesome." —Gotham Magazine
