Built from the Ground Up
Founded by Amy Wong and Matt Rosenblum, The Tiny Cupboard is a true grassroots operation. Here’s a quick look at our journey:
2019: Launched in a tiny 153-square-foot Bushwick art studio (hence the name!).
2020: Transformed into a rooftop comedy venue during the pandemic, giving comedians a platform when indoor spaces were shut down.
2021: Opened our indoor pink main room (formerly a church, legally speaking) while repurposing the original tiny studio as an open mic space.
2022-2024: Optimized the main room for quality; adding a text-to-order system during the show, a variety of drink & snack options, more comfortable seating, board games at every seat, cameras filming every show, better booking process, better customer experience, & vastly improved aesthetics.
2025: Opening a new board game bar next door to hang out at before or after shows! With no outside investors or family money, the club grew from just a few hundred dollars and a passion for comedy.
