Attention lovers of quality live entertainment – and calling all comics, musicians, and performers who want to perform or produce your own shows right here in Bergen County.

About The Basement 

“The Basement at Tommy’s built organically,” said Tommy O’Reilly, owner of Tommy Fox’s, “First it was new comics who performed for family and friends. Then comedy pros stopped in to work out material and before we knew it, acts started calling for bookings and the audience switched from family and friends to the general public.”

“Our goal is to create a space where locals can come for great entertainment, as well as a home for all performers, both developing and old pros, to share their talents with the community at large,” said comedian and booker, Chip Ambrogio. “We want The Basement at Tommy’s to be a home for new and established acts to showcase their skills and build a loyal following that keeps customers coming back for more!”

In addition to regular comedy nights The Basement at Tommy’s will host acoustic music nights, comedy game shows, classes, one person shows, and open mics, as well as private events, fundraisers and more.
