Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
COMEDY
Pros of comedy sketches and outrageous improvisations reign at this popular 74-seat ven-
ue, which gets drop-ins from casting directors. Getting in is cheap, and so is the beer and
wine. You may recognize the pranksters on stage from late-night comedy shows. It's free
Sundays after 9:30pm and Wednesdays after 11pm, when newbies take the stage.

Village Vanguard
Possibly the city's most prestigious jazz club, the Vanguard has hosted literally every major
star of the past 50 years. It started as a home to spoken-word performances and occasion-
ally returns to its roots, but most of the time it's just big, bold jazz all night long.

Sleep No More
THEATER
One of the most immersive theater experiences ever conceived, Sleep No More is a loosely
based retelling of
Macbeth
set inside a series of Chelsea warehouses. It's a choose-your-
own adventure kind of experience where audience members are free to wander the elabor-
ate rooms and interact with the actors. You'll need to check everything when you arrive
(jackets, handbag, cellphone, etc), and wear a mask, a la
Eyes Wide Shut
