The New York Comedy Festival is almost upon us, and we’re proud to announce our very own showcase in conjunction with the fest: Time Out New York’s Women of Comedy 2014. A celebration of funny women in NYC and the city’s legacy of nurturing female talent, the two back-to-back shows feature some of the best in the business. The shows will take place at Le Poisson Rouge on November 5, one at 7pm, the next at 9:30pm. Hosted by the always-amazing Robin Montague, the line-ups include the absurdly talented likes of Saturday Night Live’s Sasheer Zamata, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell’s Aparna Nancherla, Late Night With Seth Meyers’ Michelle Wolf and Nikki & Sara Live’s Sara Schaefer, with many more soon to be confirmed.
