Catch a Rising Star is a chain of
Las Vegas and New Jersey
. It is currently owned by Suzy Yengo Esq.
The original club in New York City was notable for its role in starting the careers of many famous singers and
theater and film. Among these are: Pat Benatar,[3] Billy Crystal,[4] Robin Williams,[5] Bill Maher,[5] Joy Behar,[5] Jerry Seinfeld,[5] Andy Kaufman,[4] Richard Belzer,[5] Adam Sandler,[5] Elayne Boosler,[5] Eddie Murphy,[5] Larry David,[5] Ray Romano,[5] Richard Lewis,[5] Chris Rock,[5] and Louis C.K.[6]
The original club has since gone out of business.[6] Its former location was on 1st Avenue between East 78th Street and East 77th Street. In the late 1990s, the club was located on West 28th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. The chain is currently negotiating to build a new club in the New York area.
