Underground Overground Comedy is launching a weeklong "Big Small Business Tour" of after-hours standup inside iconic New York food venues. The tour runs January 12–16, 2026, and visits Barney Greengrass, Zabar's, Veselka, Economy Candy and Russ & Daughters. Each night will feature a different secret lineup, allowing fans to attend multiple shows.

The five-night sprint was chosen for logistical simplicity, and some owners participated onstage.
