In 2017, The Festival partnered with TBS to create the TBS Comedy Hub, which featured fan-forward experiences and served as festival headquarters. Also new in 2017 was the arrival of The Second City, the world’s premier school of comedy, in New York. Its Second City Pop Up Training Center offered workshops in comedy writing, improv and stand up.

Kicking off this year’s festival is the Stand Up for Heroes benefit which honors America’s veterans and families impacted by 9/11, along with the Bob Woodruff Foundation.

The Festival spans multiple venues across all five boroughs of New York City and features something for every comedy fan. With over 100 shows scheduled during the 7-day event, what better place to find your next laugh?
