Theater Description

Q.E.D. is the only independent, woman-owned and operated venue for the arts in Astoria, Queens, NYC. As a small community-driven space by & for creatives, we provide an affordable and accessible space for artists & performers of all types. In 2022 we were voted #1 comedy venue in NYC by TimeOut New York readers, but we're so much more than just comedy! 

At Q.E.D. you’ll find stand-up comedy shows with performers ranging from the beginner to the very famous. We also have workshops, meet ups, movie screenings, readings, lectures, watch parties and more. Our affordable classes and shows are as diverse as Queens itself. With 80 or more events each month, there’s something for everyone. 

As if that weren't enough, we also have a recording and rehearsal studio, a bar/café & an excellent little selection of jigsaw puzzles, games, journals, notecards as well as new & used books. Q.E.D. is available to rent for private events, film shoots, podcasting and more.
