Comix, Manhattan's most anticipated, live performance, multi-use comedy venue, announced today that it will open its doors Thursday, September 14, 2006. An exclusive, star-studded, red carpet is slated for the grand opening of Comix, featuring a line-up of the biggest names in comedy today.


Josh Blue, just crowned NBC's "Last Comic Standing," will make his New York City debut appearance alongside comedic fire-starters David Spade, Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, the unpredictable Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Flight of the Conchords for an unforgettable night of hilarity. Bobby Collins, co-owner of Comix and one of the most successful and requested stand- up comedians in the industry, will be the evening's Master of Ceremonies for the opening of this highly-anticipated venue.


Comix is ideally located in the Meatpacking District, undeniably the hottest neighborhood for Manhattan nightlife. Comix marks an unprecedented evolution in New York City's comedy scene, combining four bars, a full service kitchen, a downstairs lounge and a comedy theater with a showroom capacity of 320 seats. Additionally, the showroom at Comix is designed with full TV studio capabilities -- completely wired and ready to host live broadcasts and tapings.


Open seven days a week, Comix will not only showcase national headline comedians with a stand-up format, but will also be a showcase for burgeoning talent in the sketch, improv and alternative comedy arenas. For more information on Comix, please visit the website at http://www.comixny.com/.
