Better stand up comedy scene - New York or Los Angeles

New York and imo its not even close.

Where ever she is.

Washington DC

As a whole, NY...but a random night at the Comedy Store in LA would beat any single random night in a NY club.

if we were talking about comedy clubs, it would be NYC. but since we're talking scene it is hands down LA because of the number of FREE shows with celebrity drop ins, just fricking high level comics woodshedding new material and trying to stay sharp.

there's a show in my old hood that had names like hannibal burress, patton oswalt, aziz, maron, dave attell, nick kroll every week. free attendance. BYOB. literally every tuesday outside a fish taco joint on the patio.

there was another in echo park that had maria bamford and all her friends

there was a monday night with kristen schaal, fred armisen and indie bands.

another in silver lake with pete holmes and his group.

another in hollywood with bill burr

and there is meltdown comics that had $7 shows full of people you see all over television now, but were standups before.

Straight murders at the calmwdy store B, never been better.

Wud else ya got Chin?

Second City in Chicago. Look at the casts of SNL over the years and there's so many more than anywhere else in the country. Toronto was big. LA's Groundlings are nowhere close to SC. NYC (SNL) always seemed to be the spot comedians would go after being in those other cities.
