Tenured New York City comedy club Carolines on Broadway will be closing at the end of the year.
will be closing at the end of the year, the venue announced Tuesday night. Its Time Square location on Broadway and West 50th Street will have its final shows on Dec. 31.
“People thought we were crazy to invest in Times Square, only later to say that we were ahead of the curve when global brands like Disney, Nasdaq and national retailers and businesses came to the neighborhood. We are very proud to have played an integral role in its resurgence and brought much needed laughter to the neighborhood and the city,” the club posted on its Twitter account.
Caroline Hirsch first opened the club 40 years ago in Chelsea as a cabaret, later transitioning into a comedy club by booking Jay Leno as its first stand-up performer. The venue later moved over to the South Street Seaport in 1987 before settling in Times Square in 1992, during a time where most citizens considered the area unsatisfactory due to high crime rates and lack of support from the government.
Carolines indicated that the shutdown isn’t the definitive end of the brand, hinting that the next stage will be “larger and bring the best comedy to more people in more places.” It will also continue growing the New York Comedy Festival throughout the city and the rest of the United States.After 30 wonderful years at our location in Times Square, we have decided not to renew our lease. Our final shows here will be on December 31.
