New Years Eve is a time for revelry, for bubbly toasts, resolutions and righteous consumption of alcohol. It is a time to throw off the ancient bonds of the year gone by and welcome the newborn promises of wonderful things yet to come. Of course it can also be a time to laugh at the ridiculous events that occurred during the prior twelve months. Witness Honey Boo Boo, Steven Tyler, General Petraeus, any Kardashian marriage and replacement referees. Of course you can do the usual night of Triple D Delights, to wit – Dinner, Dancing and Drinking, but in the state of New Jersey, as always, there are other choices that cry out for your entertainment dollar.
Home to some of the finest comedy clubs in the nation and featuring some of the country’s best and brightest, and sometimes most irreverent comedians, New Jersey takes a backseat to no one when it comes to producing laughs in environments that can compete with any venues in the USA. So if laughter is in your future and you are contemplating an evening of celebration that will bring you a chuckle or two to go along with your promises to stop smoking, watching too much TV or eating Twinkies (well that obviously goes without saying), we here at eNJoynj.com have compiled a listing of the best of the best for a New Years Eve Comedy Celebration.
