Kick off the year with a laugh at 50 First Jokes, which returns to Brooklyn this weekend for its 18th annual show.
Each year in early January, John F. O'Donnell invites 50 of his favorite comics to present their first new joke of the year. The mega show welcomes established comics along with up-and-comers as a celebration of NYC's stand-up comedy scene. This edition features Dan Perlman, Kenice Mobley, Max Wittert, Kate Willett, Alison Leiby, Sam Ruddy, Shalewa Sharpe, Yedoye Travis, Zach Zimmerman, Ike Ufomadu, Martin Urbano, Natasha Vaynblat, Clare O'Kane and many, many more.
O'Donnell describes it as a "fun, fast and loose show" that's become a favorite for audiences and comedians alike. See it at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Saturday, January 4.
