Founded in Austin, The New Movement now includes the NOLA branch run by New Orleans natives Chris Trew and Tami Nelson. Billed as a full-time comedy conservatory, TNM includes improv classes, local and touring comics and the popular Monday night Knockout, TNM's weekly comedy clash between two different shows. The victorious production advances in the tournament with the overall Knockout Champion claiming the ultimate crown - a primetime slot on TNM's stage. Shows are 18+, there's a bar on site and content tends to be geared to grown-ups. There are however classes designed for teens and kids, a fun option if you're traveling with the family.

- Best for Comedy Clubs Because: TNM is yet another reason to explore artsy St. Claude Avenue.
