Stand Up NY opened its doors in 1986 and has since become one of New York City’s premiere comedy clubs. Celebrated for its rich history, elegant interior and outstanding performers, Stand Up NY has created an exclusive comedy experience as it sets the standard for other comedy clubs. From Jerry Seinfeld (well, maybe not anymore – Google it) to Chris Rock and Amy Schumer, our stage continues to be a breeding ground for the brightest stars of today and tomorrow.

For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage M

For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month we wanted to highlight API Comics in History:

🔥Rex Navarrete🔥

We loved having Navarrete at the club and excited to share more about him:

Navarrete is a Filipino American comedian. He started his career in 1989 with a performance at University of California Santa Cruz. He has since performed in many colleges and universities all over the world as well as various comedy clubs and festivals, including headlining a sold-out performance at The Warfield in San Francisco as well as the Wiltern LG in Los Angeles. As of December 2006, he has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. These include performances in San Francisco, New York, Montreal, Manila, London, Dubai, Geneva, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney.
In 2003, he released his first DVD entitled Hella Pinoy, in 2005, he released "Badass Madapaka" and in 2010, he released the DVD titled "Komik Organik".
In 2004-2005, he released a 13-episode series on MTV Philippines titled "Rex in the City".
In 2007, an animated series featuring Filipino-American characters known as The Nutshack, Navarrete voiced many of the characters.

Comic Spotlight: @stollemache Q: How would you d

Comic Spotlight: @stollemache

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Small anecdotes, stuff that happens in life and probably the delivery is dry and irreverent. I try not to take a stance on anything.

Q: How did you get into comedy?

A: I just grew up watching HBO. My parents were new to this country and they weren’t really into censorship so I’d watch anything, so HBO specials were big and it was a family thing. My dad would always rent Gallagher stand up specials and we’d listen to Richard Pryor tapes and Carlin and I just loved the art form.

Q: Where are you from?

A: I’m from Texas. I was born in South Africa and my family is from South Africa but we immigrated here before I was a year old.

Q: How did you start?

A: I started in Houston which was a really great scene, there are a lot of good comics that came from there. The first show that I ever did a performance: I was staying in Austin at my brother’s and I saw a back page ad for the HBO Aspen Comedy Fest and I was kind of naive about it. And I thought I’ve always wanted to do stand up so I thought I would just show up and didn’t kinda know how you got an act… I didn’t know comics worked on stuff forever, I thought you just did it. You get 2 minutes, it was an open casting call. I wasn’t the worst, but I was nowhere near being great. I met a lot of Houston comics there and then went to an open mic.

Q: What is the highlight of your comedy experience so far?

A: I guess like getting to work at all of the comedy clubs in New York City and definitely doing a late night and JFL. And then my album.

Q: What are you watching right now?

I like watching reality shows. I got back into The Real Housewives.

Q: What are you looking forward to?

A: I want to tape another special and then my next goal is to either write and shoot a short film or write a feature film and shoot a part of it.

Comic Spotlight: @bretraybould 🔥🔥🔥 Q: C

Comic Spotlight: @bretraybould 🔥🔥🔥

Q: Can you tell us about the play you've written?

A: The play is called Race: The Movie: The Play. It's a spoof of all of the recent white savior/prestige race movies. So think Scary Movie but for movies like Green Book, Hidden Figures, The Help, Django, 12 Years A Slave, etc.
It has all that old school slapstick that I miss so dearly from modern comedy. One reviewer even called it "Mel Brooks for the modern era" which is probably the highest praise I've ever received as a comic.

We're going to be doing a run of three shows in the New York Theater Festival on June 23, 25, and 26.

Q: Who's in it?

A: This cast is the Comedy Avengers. We have some of the best elder statesmen of NY stand up in @iamdeanedwards and @tedalexandro , some of the funniest up and comers in @eaglewittofficial , @andredthompson, and (I guess, hopefully) myself, and a soon-to-be superstar of a drag queen in Thee Suburbia. And that's only half the cast! Truly an assembly of wildly hilarious and talented people and I'm lucky to be getting to make something with them.

Q: How did you get into Comedy?

A: I fell in love with comedy at an early age watching Chris Farley and Jim Carrey movies. My mom and I would also watch a lot of Chris Rock's standup. I didn't start doing it until I joined a college comedy troupe which was a life-changing thing for me, as it was the first time I ever tried to make people laugh in a performance setting. Shortly after graduating college, I moved up to NYC as I knew it was the best place to work on your craft and watch some of the best in the world work.

Q: What have been some of your career highlights?

A: I'd say filming my hour special at Stand Up NY is up there! Hell, maybe even this past weekend was a highlight. I got to open/feature for @zofunny, who's long been one of the comics I most look up to. Getting to hang out with him, talk comedy, and watch his approach is invaluable.
