Bronx seasons reshape the comedy circuit entirely. Summer pushes shows outdoors—park stages, block parties, crowds too restless for basement rooms. Fordham fills when the AC works, empties when it doesn't. Winter drives everyone into Mott Haven basements, audiences packed tight, grateful for warmth and distraction. South Bronx hosts the year-round grinders. Riverdale draws the summer showcases. Hunts Point and Tremont fill the gaps. Humid nights make crowds impatient; cold nights make them grateful. Comics who survive both seasons learn to read the room before they enter it.
