The City is Our Stage: The Funniest Names in the Game

Every year, the NY Comedy Festival does more than deliver laughs: it shows off comedy royalty past and present.

The 2025 New York Comedy Festival lineup reads like a who’s who of laughter, starting with Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Paul Dinello, back for a reunion of their cult sitcom "Strangers With Candy." You’ll also find sharp voices like Alex Edelman and Adam Conover bringing the jokes in their own sets. Oh, and Margaret Cho, Hannah Berner, and Keith Johnson, plus rising names like Nurse John and Yohay Sponder. Take your pick: each show has its own funny flavor!

From the Village to the Garden: The Venues That Host the Laughs

The NY Comedy Festival spreads its uproar across New York City’s most iconic halls. At the Beacon Theatre, you’ll catch Trevor Wallace's Alpha Beta Male Tour on Nov. 8 and Morgan Jay’s Goofy Guy Tour later in the run. Over in Town Hall, shows from Pete Holmes and ISMO take the stage; meanwhile, the intimate Gramercy Theatre brings in rising voices like Ricky Velez and more curated showcases featuring the "I Never Liked You" podcast with Matteo Lane and Nick Smith. Look out for multiple nights featuring Michael Blackson at Hard Rock Hotel New York. Big or boutique, each venue brings its own flavor, but they all guarantee cutting-edge comedy.
