“#Comedy clubs sue NYC, NY state over COVID-19 shut downs<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n A group of city comedy clubs and small theaters have sued Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo for coronavirus restrictions that have caused their venues to remain shut while other businesses have reopened in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

In the Manhattan federal court suit, clubs including The SoHo Playhouse, Triad, The Players Theater and the New York Comedy Club, accuse the state and city of imposing lockdown restrictions arbitrarily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state continues to govern impartially and arbitrarily by allowing malls, casinos, churches, movie theaters, restaurants, gyms \u2026 bowling alleys, \u2018Saturday Night Live\u2019, schools and colleges in the state to open, yet small venue theaters in Manhattan continue to be shut down,\u201d the suit states.<\/p>\n

The clubs argue the coronavirus infection rate in Manhattan has remained under 1 percent for months, but despite the flattened curve they\u2019re unable to earn a living by operating their clubs because of the restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever latitude for constitutionally questionable orders may have existed when the pandemic was new, there is no longer legal justification for prohibiting people from earning a living if they work in or own what a governor deems a non-essential business,\u201d the suit states.<\/p>\n

The clubs are seeking a judge to strike down executive orders barring them from holding shows and unspecified damages.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the City Law Department referred The Post to New York State officials.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said he\u2019s lost track of \u201cfrivolous suits filed against us\u201d for actions taken to stop the spread of coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are moving heaven and earth to contain this virus and we know some people are unhapp<\/a>y, but New York continues to have one of the lowest infection rates in the nation, and better to be unhappy than sick or worse,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
