The New York Comedy Festival is where the best of the best comedians of NYC gather each year, and this year, it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary with more than 200 comedians performing more than 100 shows at venues throughout the five boroughs.
If you've laughed at comedy shows in NYC in the past few years, it probably had something to do with at least one of the comics on the insanely stacked lineup this year. The festival brings a variety of comedic disciplines to town (and from around town), from stand-up to improv to sketch acts, but luckily we've combed through all the offerings to bring you the best of the best. It’s one of the best NYC events in November. Get ready to laugh until your sides hurt at some of our favorite NYC comedy clubs around town.
