"We are thrilled to be working with one of the most renowned comedy clubs in the country to bring the funniest acts directly from its New York stage into the lives of comedy fans everywhere," said Will C. Rogers, Founder and CEO of RooftopComedy.
"If you want to see the best stand up comedians in the country, you can visit Comic Strip Live in New York City or simply log onto RooftopComedy.com or one of the dozen of web, mobile or broadcast media outlet that will carry all the performances happening on our stage," said John McGowan, co-owner Comic Strip Live. "By attending an actual show at the world famous Comic Strip Live, you'll get to experience the club where Seinfeld, Carlin, Rock, Romano, Sandler, Lampanelli and just about every other famous comedian began, while enjoying the amazing collective energy from our audiences. But the one thing we simply can't give you that only RooftopComedy and their network can - the ability to watch our great comedians while lying on your couch in your underwear."
