Stress Factory Comedy Club

Our group had a GREAT time watching Radel Ortiz. The vibes were great. The energy was great. This was our second time here. You have to make the line to check in and it gets long so make sure to arrive early. You will receive a slip with your number in line and your party size. The location is big enough where no matter where you are sitting you have a good view.

This establishment is my preferred venue, consistently featuring exceptional comedic talent. The culinary offerings are quite satisfactory, and the service is remarkably efficient. Overall, my experiences here are consistently positive.

First time at Stress Factory and it did not disappoint! We came to see one of our favorite comedians, Nate Jackson, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The venue itself has such a great vibe, energetic, and perfect for a comedy show. The service was amazing all night, super attentive without being intrusive. Food and drinks were also on point, which made the night even better. Definitely looking forward to coming back for more shows!

If you've never been to the stress factory, you are buggin. BY FAR, the best stand up venue. Cute, intimate and for literally $20 more you can go VIP and sit this friggin close to your headliner (Jeff Dye tonight, DL Hughley last time I was there). Always a great time!

We have been coming to the Stress Factory for 20 years and it never disappoints. It is by far the best comedy club around. Vinnie and his staff are top notch. The food and drinks are awesome and the comedians are hysterical. Best date night as well as being out with friends. Thank you Vinnie for your personal attention and always making sure your customers are taken care of. Jimmy and Gina can't wait to come back for another great night at the Stress Factory!

We went to see Sheryl Underwood and she was outstanding. I would have given them a 5 star but the food was horrible. We ordered this basket type meal that consisted of Chicken tenders, mozzarella cheese sticks, curly fries, and it was bad. I'll definitely go back depending on the comedian that night, and I'll just order something else.

If you want to see big-name comedians up close in New Jersey, The Stress Factory in New Brunswick is the spot. Regulars already know how this place gets down, but if you’ve never been—here’s what to expect. I came out to see Marlon Wayans, and he was incredible. He had the whole room laughing from start to finish. It honestly felt like a mix of comedy show and family reunion—fun, raw, and real. If you’ve ever questioned if live comedy is worth it, this show answered that with a yes. The openers were great too. There was a local woman comic (her name had “NJ” in it) who had everyone cracking up. I can’t remember her name, but if you do, tag her—she deserves the credit. Here’s the breakdown: Talent: They bring in amazing comedians, and the shows sell out fast. Seating is first come, first served, so the earlier you get there, the better your seats. Parking: There’s a lot right next to the club—super convenient. Street parking is metered and limited. Food & Drinks: Classic bar food—fries, egg rolls, pretzels, pizza. It’s fine, nothing fancy, but it soaks up the drinks. Just know there’s a two-item minimum per person. Staff: The servers were on point—fast, friendly, and kept things moving. You do have to pay your bill and show the receipt before you leave. Venue: The space is cozy and intimate, which makes the comedy hit even harder. It can feel tight during sold-out shows, but that’s part of the vibe. Overall, The Stress Factory delivered. It’s not about fine dining or wide open spaces—it’s about world-class comedy in a setting that keeps you close to the action. Perfect for date night, hanging out with friends, or just when you need to laugh until your face hurts.

Had a wonderful experience seeing One Funny Lisa Marie (Riley); great venue, spacious, great seating. Our server Liam was super attentive, every person we interacted with there was a delight. Bonus points for Dave the manager who engaged us in a great conversation about music and growing up and totally sold us on the meet n greet which we were ao glad we did. Highly recommend this gem of a comedy club!!!! And easy-peasy parking adjacent, too. Well done, everyone!
