In Japan, there is a style of comedy known as batsu game (罰ゲーム), where comedians compete in challenges of all kinds with the losers receiving a punishment. BATSU! NYC brings this comedy style to America, with comedians competing to avoid electric shocks, paintballs, a giant egg-smashing chicken, and many more hilarious jaw-dropping punishments! With a yokocho (横丁・横町) vibe, behind an unassuming door in the East Village, transport yourself to the alleyways of Tokyo with authentic food, drinks, and fun.

“It was such a fun evening! The energy and vibes were so high and the improv was amazing! Perfect for a group/date/celebration. Would definitely come here again!”
“Went in with zero expectations and walked out after two straight hours of laughter and fun. It was an absolute surprise in the best way. It turned into nearly two hours of nonstop, high energy entertainment that kept the whole family engaged the entire time. The show is interactive, fast paced, and genuinely funny. The performers are fully committed, and the time flies by before you realize it. Everyone at our table was laughing from start to finish. If you’re looking for something different to do in NYC and want a fun, memorable experience rather than just another show, BATSU is well worth it. I am attaching some pictures and clips but you have to see the whole show to make sense of it.”
“Thank you to the entire team at Batsu, especially Jenn and Cassandra, for all of your help in making my birthday so special! I hosted a group of 30 people here, everything was seamless and surprisingly the food was very good. The performers are so talented and clever with their improv - it’s highly interactive so make sure you come with a group that’s willing to participate in the fun. Such a fun experience!”
“My Gen Z daughter treated four of us to this experience for my Mom's 77th birthday last night. Batsu was funny beginning to end. The hosts and comedians were engaging, witty and upbeat. We went in with no expectations and left giggling. Everything felt personalized for the audience. A perfect time had by all. Don't hesitate- book the tickets!!!”
“We celebrated my friend’s birthday here with a group of 12 and had an incredible time! The show and everyone in it were absolutely hilarious. I’m still amazed that most of it was improv! The cast did a fantastic job engaging with the audience, making the experience even more memorable. The food was decent as well. I’d highly recommend this place for a fun and lively group outing!”
