Sugar Shack Sundays hosted by Rob Stapleton

Sugar Shack Sundays is a recurring live comedy showcase staged at Comedy in Harlem, part of a neighborhood tradition where stand-up doubles as local commentary. The lineup rotates, and this edition features Carl Payne, Rob Stapleton, Monifah, Flame Monroe, and Shawn Harvey. In a city with a long record of testing jokes in small rooms before they travel, Harlem remains a place where audience response can shape the material in real time. The show’s value is its immediacy, with sets that often read like a weekly report from the block.
