Featured in Time Out New York, and the the New York Comedy Festival,
Tight Pants Comedy is the only show where national headliners join
gritty local favorites on stage to trim the extra fabric, and perform
their tightest sets with rapid-fire jokes. Aside from the tight sets,
the name Tight Pants plays on the fact that the producers of the show,
Kyle Wayne and John Bennett are both millennials who enjoy swearing
skinny jeans?a wardrobe item Gen Z has proclaimed ?uncool?. Tight
Pants has produced over 100 shows in New York, including monthly shows
at St. Marks Comedy Club and the Comedy Shop. In 2024, Tight Pants
successfully ran the Tight Pants Tight Five Comedy Competition?New
York?s largest standup comedy contest, featuring 150+ comedians.
November?s show at Punch Line will also be a co-production with Ten
Comedy, produced by Brad Rickert and Sheri Ciprane. The first Ten
Comedy Show took place in 2014 in Chicago, but has since moved to
Flophouse Comedy Club in Brooklyn. Featured in Time Out New York, and
