About
We are a welcoming performing arts venue in Greenwich Village, specializing in circus, stand-up comedy, literary events, and live music. Secret Loft is run by a group of artists and their community without outside investors or corporate backing.
We have cheaper ticket prices, better lineups, and better artist payouts than any comparable venue in NYC. If you're looking to experience professional live arts in a relaxed space that isn’t trying to nickel and dime you or exploit the performers, we’d be happy to see you at our next event!
