Respect The Audacity

We wanted to see what would happen if we created a place for the best comedians in the world to produce the original content they wanted to produce, free of charge and without interference because we vehemently believe that will garner the best material.

The result of the experiment have been exciting, and Labs is continually growing and striving to produce more original, creator-driven content.

We operate a first-class studio just above legendary comedy club Stand Up NY. Leveraging our network of comedic talent, Labs licenses and sells its content to brands and media companies.
