01 / The Idea

A community hub built around comedy.

Whiplash isn't just a room with a mic. It's two showrooms, a wide-open patio, and a reason to show up early and stay late.

We're putting up 20–25 shows a week — national headliners, regional comics, late-night experiments, magic, jazz, and the occasional thing nobody can quite describe.

Because what people need even more than a laugh is somewhere to belong while they're having one.

What people need even more than laughter is connection, and I'm envisioning Whiplash as a community hub built around comedy.

Main Squeeze

The main stage. The big laughs.

Our flagship showroom, built for headliners and the kind of shows you tell people about the next morning. Two-tops up front, VIP booths, high-tops, and tiered seating so every seat sees the punchline land.

Side Piece — Late-night, off-the-wall, try-something-new.
≈44 seats

Side Piece

Late-night, off-the-wall, try-something-new.

The intimate room. We kept the prior tenant's stacked-stone fireplace because it makes the place feel like home. Side Piece is where comedy meets up-close magic, late-night jazz, karaoke, and socials that bring people together.

  • Late-night sets
  • Up-close magic
  • Live jazz
  • Karaoke & socials
The Patio — Show up early. Stay late. Or just come hang.
2,500 sq ft

The Patio

Show up early. Stay late. Or just come hang.

Surrounded by greenery, loaded with comfy seating, and basically begging you to hang out. A full outdoor bar, room to breathe, and the easy social energy that makes Ponce City Market what it is.

  • Full outdoor bar
  • Greenery & string lights
  • Lounge seating
  • Come as you are
