About This Activity
Kids ’N Comedy is a NYC comedy program where “funny kids” can learn to write and perform stand-up comedy—with programming primarily for ages 10–18. Their summer camp is the main camp offering: it runs in 2-week sessions and each session culminates in a graduation show live at a real theater. Camp is intentionally small—limited to 13 kids per session—and while stand-up is the core, they note camp also includes a wider comedy experience with improv and sketch comedy.
Kids ’N Comedy does ask families to email to qualify (they want to speak with you before sending an application). Outside of camp, they also run stand-up comedy classes for ages 10–18 taught by professional NYC comics, plus advanced workshops for established students who’ve already participated in shows/classes and want to sharpen joke-writing and keep material fresh.

Ratings & Reviews
What Parents Like
- The confidence boost is real (and fast). In a parent write-up about attending a Kids ’N Comedy show, the reviewer describes teens performing with noticeable poise and wit—the kind of “my kid can actually do this on a real stage” payoff parents hope for. (1)
- Multiple sources emphasize the “graduation show at Gotham Comedy Club” structure, which parents often love because it gives kids a clear goal and a memorable capstone. (2, 3, 4)
- Kids connect with other funny kids. A review of the Kids ’N Comedy show at Gotham highlights the room being filled with genuine laughter and that kids connect with other kids—strong social-fit signal for a niche-interest camp. (5)
- Articles and listings consistently describe the camp/classes as taught by professional comedians, which is a big trust signal for parents who want “real coaching,” not just games. (2, 6)
What Parents Think Could Be Improved
- Coverage describes the camp as “intensive” and centered on writing/performing stand-up—amazing for kids who want that, less ideal if your child wants a looser, variety-style day camp where they can just be silly. (3, 6)
Our Take
Kids ’N Comedy comes across as a great fit for kids who are genuinely into comedy (or dying to try stand-up) because the biggest “parent win” is baked into the structure: you’re working toward a real show at a real comedy club—and that tends to unlock confidence and effort in a way many camps can’t.
