Uptown Comedy Club, is a sketch-comedy show filmed in the Harlem [1] [2] [3] [4] neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City that aired in first-run syndication [5] [6] [7] for two seasons, [8] from 1992 [9] [10] until 1994. [11] The series was produced by Bob Banner. Repeats of the series eventually found their way onto BET.
Taped before a live audience at a club in Harlem, Uptown Comedy Club provided a mixture stand-up comedy, musical guests usually from the world of hip-hop, and sketch comedy from a troupe of mostly black comics. Jim Breuer and Rob Magnotti were the only regular white cast members. Uptown Comedy Club would in hindsight, provide a springboard for future Saturday Night Live cast members Jim Breuer and Tracy Morgan and future Mad TV cast members Aries Spears and Debra Wilson. Monteria Ivey [12] [13] served as the host for the first season, while the regular cast members rotated in that capacity for the second. DJ Scratch meanwhile, was the resident DJ.
A recurring segment on Uptown Comedy Club was pitting stand-up comedians against each other in a game of The Dozens. [14] The audience picked the winner.
Uptown Comedy Club aired mostly late at night on UHF [33] stations.
