Carolines on Broadway, one of the country’s most famous and influential comedy clubs, will host the final performances at its Times Square home on New Year’s Eve, ending a 30-year run at the location just as the nearby ball drops on 2022.
“After 30 wonderful years at our location in Times Square,” the club posted on Instagram, “we have decided not to renew our lease. Our final shows here will be on December 31.”
Although the closing announcement doesn’t provide a reason, club owner Caroline Hirsch told The New York Post that the venue’s 10-year lease was due for a rent “reset” and building landlord “felt they can get a lot more for the space.” The Post identified the building owner as a “Kuwaiti wealth fund.”
Located at 750 Seventh Avenue in the heart of the Broadway theater district, Caroline’s has played host to such comedy superstars as Jerry Seinfeld, Gilbert Gottfried, Lewis Black, Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart, Larry David, Joy Behar, Jimmy Fallon, Michael Che, Robin Williams and Conan O’Brien, as well as untold numbers of lesser-known talents.
The club opened its Times Square location in 1992 after a decade at downtown addresses in the Chelsea and South Street Seaport neighborhoods. “People thought we were crazy to invest in Times Square,” the announcement reads, pointing out the area’s crime rate and government inattention, “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.”
In the Post exclusive, Hirsch said, “This is heart-stabbing for me. I love my staff. I love my comedians.
