Running late/Can't make it/Transferring tickets
No worries. We actually start each show 15 minutes late. If you're later than that, you can still come in late for the show (though not ideal) or consider using your ticket for the later show today if there is one (we'll accept your tickets for same day transfers). We can also transfer you to any future date if you can't make today, if you email [email protected]

No! But beware, there may be inappropriate material and sex jokes etc.
That's fine but keep in mind there may be inappropriate material and sex jokes etc. They also might get picked on by the comics. But we leave it up to you.
No! Open to all ages.
Season pass
Just show your physical pass or the email receipt of the season pass and date of the email at the door, and you'll get in. We recommend avoiding Friday 830 and Saturday 830 which usually sell out. You must get at least one item at the bar.
Email [email protected] and we'll set you up with one (we just need to make sure you previously got a ticket)
Lost items
If we have it, you can come pick it up any time we're open (6pm-11pm everyday except some major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas where we're closed).

Lineups/Showtimes/Getting tickets & reservations
You could get them at the door, but our door price is higher than our online price even after fees (our door price is $20). And tickets may sell out.
They usually start 15 minutes after the allotted start time and end 90 minutes after the allotted start time.
That's all listed here: https://www.thetinycupboard.com/calendar
Check our instagram stories @thetinycupboard for day of lineups. You can also generally see what the lineups are for a given day by clicking buy tickets next to a show (before you checkout there's a preview of the lineup—but it's always subject to change).
Yep! Shows everyday. Check out our shows here: https://www.thetinycupboard.com/calendar
We usually don't kick you out, so yeah! But get another item at the bar at least!
Sure, but keep in mind our door price is higher than our online price even after fees (our door price is $20). And tickets may sell out.
Transportation and Parking
There's a lot of free street parking under the J train (near the venue) especially. Other than that, you just have to look around but you should be able to find something relatively quickly.
10 Cooper Street Brooklyn 11207. We're also on Google maps/Apple Maps if you enter The Tiny Cupboard
We're right near the J, and pretty close to the A, C and L.
Seating & misc
No dress code! Super casual.
No assigned seats but you'll be able to sit together!
Hours & Finding the Venue
Yes, we're open everyday from 6pm-1130ish. The only days we're off are Thanksgiving, fourth of July, Christmas Eve usually, Christmas Day, and New Years eve usually.
Usually 6pm-1130ish. On Saturdays we open at 5pm.
You may be too early. Go through the alleyway at 10 Cooper street Brooklyn (not 1717 broadway), follow the signs, don't go up any stairs, and then there's a door on the right. If that doesn't make sense, you're probably too early. It's also possible that you're at 10 Cooper street Manhattan instead of Brooklyn (which has happened to customers once or twice).
It's not at 1717 Broadway Brooklyn (that's just where the open mic room is). Go around the corner to 10 Cooper street if you're at 1717 Broadway. It's not on Broadway! Go into the alleyway at 10 Cooper Street, and then through the pink door on the right. Don't go to blue room upstairs or up any stairs in general (unless you're in fact here to perform at the open mic).
Website & Checkout issues
