Do I need to purchase separate tickets for each human in my party?

Yes! Please order separate tickets for each human in your party. Dogs do not need their own tickets (which is a sentence I never thought I would write in my life)

I don't have a dog, can I still come to the show?

Yes! All humans ages 18+ are welcome to attend the show as long as they follow our 2 show rules: Must Love Dogs and Comedy.

Can my dog come with me to the show?

All dogs must be dog- and people-friendly. Disruptive or dangerous dogs will be asked to leave. All dogs must also be fully vaccinated in accordance with NYC law and be on-leash for the duration of the event. By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge and understand that you are responsible for any injury and/or damage caused by your dog(s) and/or any dog(s) you bring to the event.

Can my human child come with me to the show?

Unfortunately, dog-friendly does NOT mean kid-friendly. Shows are recommended for audience members ages 18+ due to the potential subject matter performed by the comedians.

Is the comedy performed at the show only about dogs?

No, comedy at our shows is not solely about dogs. Although comedians almost always get heckled by the dogs during their sets!

Are there drinks available at the show?

Yes! Boris & Horton offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase, as well as food. Please support our amazing venue by purchasing at least 2 items (food/drinks/merch) during the event.

Partnership Info:

Must Love Dogs and Comedy: We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to produce comedy shows that raise money for animal rescue, support diverse comedians, and help adoptable dogs find loving homes. To date, we've raised over $36,000 for rescue animals and been named "the happiest place in NYC" by Time Out NY!

Better in Person: Launched by the creator of the "Freakonomics" franchise, Better in Person is a new indie TV talk show that bets on depth at a time when most media is optimized for speed and spectacle. Everyone has a public story. Stephen Dubner wants the rest. On Better in Person, Dubner invites remarkable people into his home for a kind of conversation that’s hard to find: curious, free-wheeling, even profound. They talk, play, eat and drink, argue and laugh. The result? Less interview, more shared discovery. This is how a conversation works. Learn more about the new show here!

A room full of dog lovers and their adorable pups
A donation to a local animal rescue organization with every ticket
The chance to meet an adoptable dog looking for their forever home
Good vibes, great laughs, and wagging tails!

Must Love Dogs and Comedy: Where Laughter Meets Life-Saving Impact

Welcome to the happiest place in NYC! (Yes, Time Out New York really said that about us.)

Must Love Dogs and Comedy, Inc. is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that's redefining what comedy can do. We produce dog-friendly live comedy shows that serve a dual mission: raising funds for animal rescue while creating paid opportunities for underrepresented comedians across the country.

🐾 Our Story

What started as one rescue dog's story has grown into a movement. Our founder adopted her beloved pup Knope from a Louisiana shelter in 2017, and that personal rescue mission inspired something bigger: a way to combine professional comedy with life-changing impact for dogs in need.

🎤 What Makes Us Special

Every Must Love Dogs and Comedy show is more than just a night of laughs:

Bring your pup! Our shows are dog-friendly, so your furry best friend can join you for a night out on the town
Adoptable dogs join us at select events, making it easy and accessible for audience members to meet their future best friend
A portion of every ticket sold goes directly to animal rescue organizations and shelters
Diverse lineups featuring primarily Women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and POC performers
All comedians are paid and receive professional photos and videos to advance their careers

🏆 Our Impact

Since our founding, Must Love Dogs and Comedy has:

💰 Raised over $32,000 for animal rescue organizations
🐕 Hosted 5,000+ dog-loving attendees nationwide
🎭 Booked 500+ diverse comedians nationwide
📍 Produced 100+ events across the country
📺 Been featured on PBS's Emmy Award-winning docuseries Shelter Me (30-minute episode: "Funny Bone")

💜 Our Mission

We exist at the intersection of the pet industry, animal rescue, and comedy, and we're here at the "pawfect" moment. With pet ownership at an all-time high and shelters overwhelmed, we're using the proven power of comedy to:

Save lives by raising awareness and funds for dogs in need
Amplify diverse voices in an industry that still needs more representation
Create safe, supportive spaces for performers to shine
Educate pet parents about the best ways to care for their furry companions
Champion adoption over shopping for pets

🎟️ Join the Pack!

When you attend a Must Love Dogs and Comedy show, you're not just getting an unforgettable night of entertainment, you're becoming part of something bigger. Every laugh, every ticket, every shared moment helps save dogs and supports comedians who deserve their time in the spotlight.

Get ready to laugh and sniff each other's butts! We can't wait to welcome you to the pack!
