Just got back from the NYC History of Comedy Tour - so much fun!

I went on the NYC History of Comedy Tour last weekend and it was a blast! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history of comedy in Greenwich Village, and I even got to see places like the Comedy Cellar. Plus, we got tickets to a show later that night which was awesome. Definitely recommend it if you’re a comedy fan! Just make sure to bring comfy shoes because there’s some walking involved.
