NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ–Unbeknownst to many of the residents of New Brunswick there is a growing underground comedy scene in the Hub City.
For decades, local comedians have made it a habit to work out their sets every Wednesday at the Open Mic Night in the Stress Factory Comedy Club on Church Street, but that venue is far from the only place in town that hosts shows.
