Borscht Belt Comedy Club at Shadowland Stages

Stand-up comedy is retiring to its Borscht Belt roots. The Manhattan-based New York Comedy Club and the Borscht Belt Museum are joining forces to create a new stand-up comedy series in Ellenville, once home to some of the region’s most storied hotels and nightclubs. The first show features Michael Hirsch, Jesse Eigner, Rachel Williams, and Eitan Levine in Shadowland’s 120-seat black box theater. More shows are in the works for April and May, with a weekly line-up planned for summer. While the first show at 7pm sold out, a second show at 9pm has been added.
