Those accustomed to cramped comedy clubs may experience agoraphobia when they enter this renovated Strawberry Fields supermarket. Amid the limestone floors, plasma TVs, and two lounges (one equipped with a copper bar) in the 5,000-square-foot showroom, Comix promises to bring the likes of David Spade, Sarah Silverman, Kathy Griffin, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. They’ll need that level of talent if they hope to fill the 320 seats with $10-and-up cover prices. Meanwhile, the kitchen doles out fancy American grub. — Daniel Maurer
