Queens’ Comedy Night Laughs in Astoria

Astoria cracked last night with Queens’ Comedy Night, joking NYC’s spring at a 30th Avenue bar. Comic Lena Carter slayed sets as 200 howled, a $10 ticket bash of yuks. It’s borough laughs—pure Queens vibe, mics hot. A kid pitched a gag; a pro bombed a bit. ‘Queens laughs—this is it,’ Carter says, tossing zingers. The room turned stage.

The night’s fresh—March 27’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 8 p.m. Carter’s a LIC joker; last night’s crowd hit max—knees slapped. A latecomer nabbed a seat; beers flowed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—gags ruled. #QueensComedy trended; Brooklyn wants a quip.

Some griped—’Too crude,’ sniped a stiff, dodging jabs. Mic buzzed—fixed quick; laughs held. A rival’s pitching a Flushing roast, splitting bits. Still, 300 stayed—jokes reigned. Astoria’s never laughed so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s funny—this proves it,’ she says, packing notes. The night’s a Queens win—grit meets guffaws. It’s a comedy rush; catch the next. Bring a pal—lines call.
