Midtown Comedy Club: Harrison Greenbaum, Sean Conrad, Kate Willett, Danny Palmer, Adam Strauss

Harrison Greenbaum has quickly become one of the most in-demand comedians in New York, performing in more than 600 shows a year and thus leading both Time Out New York and the NY Daily News to call him "the hardest-working man in comedy." One of Comedy Central's "Comics to Watch," Harrison has also received many awards and honors for his comedy, including the Andy Kaufman Award (2010) for creativity and originality in comedy, the Shorty Award in collaboration with Comedy Central and the New York Comedy Festival for "Best Emerging Comic" (2011), and the Magners Comic Stand-Off (2011).

Danny Palmer  was nominated for best comic at the Los Angeles Comedy Festival and auditioned for Comedy Central's Up Next segment of the New York Comedy Festival.

He's also done the Breakout Artist Series at Caroline's Comedy Club in Times Square.

Adam Strauss’s work has been called many things, mostly adjectives. He won the New York Fringe Festival's Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance and the Leffe Beer Craft Your Character storytelling competition. He's lost too many things to mention here. The New York Times said* he "mines a great deal of laughter" and Time Out New York called his solo show The Mushroom Cure "a true-life tour de force" and named it a Critics' Pick.
