\n It\u2019s time to laugh again.<\/p>\n

Comedy clubs ordered closed in March during the peak of the coronavirus outbreak haven\u2019t been allowed to reopen \u2014 while restaurants and bowling alleys got the OK to to resume operations, albeit with rules limiting capacity to prevent the spread of the killer bug.<\/p>\n

But bills introduced by Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Queens) and backed by the jokers and club operators would allow the venues to re-open and operate under the same indoor restrictions as either bowling alleys or restaurants.<\/p>\n

Channeling Rodney Dangerfield, comedia<\/a>ns and club owners say they\u2019re getting \u201cno respect\u201d from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state health officials even though the COVID-19 pandemic has abated in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody understands that this is complicated. But NY State seems to have figured it out for every other industry,\u201d said comedian Christian Finnegan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure why comedy can\u2019t even get a concrete plan. I can tell you this: The ban on live comedy has done nothing of the sort. Shows are happ<\/a>ening every night\u2013in backyards, parking lots, and private homes. The only thing this confusion does is prevent those shows from happening safely, under the oversight of licensed venues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

One measure introduced by Gianaris would treat comedy venues like indoor restaurants that can operate at 25 percent capacity in New York City.<\/p>\n

Another bill he\u2019s pushing would allow venues to be treated like bowling alleys and operate at 50 percent occupancy without food & beverage service.<\/p>\n

Other venues with outdoor performance spaces \u2014 which a number of clubs have \u2014 should be allowed to open immediately, Gianaris said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge anyone to explain why comedy clubs would be less safe to operate than restaurants or bowling alleys. There is no good reason to keep them closed when these other establishments are open \u2014 all that does is further hurt our economic recovery,\u201d Gianaris said.<\/p>\n

Gianaris will promote the measures with entertainers during a noon press conference Tuesday at the New York Comedy Club in the East Village.<\/p>\n

Cuomo said last week that re-opening comedy clubs and arenas was still risky.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look back at what we did, the most essential businesses with the lowest risk we did first,\u201d he said of New York\u2019s reopening plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy good friend Billy Joel, he was doing Madison Square Garden \u2014 when will we get back to Madison Square Garden. Those large arenas pose the greatest risk. Even if you say every two seats, every three seats, yeah, but you\u2019re still channeling people in and out of a corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo then added: \u201cHow essential is a comedy club when you\u2019re talking about a possible infection rate? Not to offend people in a comedy club and Lord knows we need to laugh \u2014 but those are the calibrations we\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other industries like movie theaters \u2014 which have reopened already in New Jersey \u2014 and live acting on Broadway also have yet to gain the green light for reopening.<\/p>\n

With the backing of actor-funnyman Jerry Seinfeld, Sen. Charles Schumer last week proposed the \u201cSave our Stage Act\u201d federal legislation, which would provide $10 billion to keep afloat comedic venues that have seen their profits undergo significant shrinkage because of pandemic closures.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
