We’re not psychic but we’d bet good money that New York will need something to laugh about come November.

Thankfully, the week after the Nov. 5 election, the New York Comedy Festival will return to the Big Apple for ten days of stand-up, sketch, improv, and podcasts.

Taking place Nov. 8-17, this year’s edition boasts big-name headliners like controversial talk show host Bill Maher, unpredictable “SNL” star Tracy Morgan, stand-up comic turned director turned stand-up comic Judd Apatow, insider favorite Dave Attell and the first comic to ever sell out Dodger Stadium, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias.

They’ll be joined by J.B. Smoove, Zarna Garg, Joe List, Ms. Pat and Dan Soder among others.

According to a press release, in addition to the above, NYCF promises “an eclectic mix of sketch and improv performances, panel discussions, intimate conversations with comedy legends, talent competitions, star-studded fundraising galas, film screenings, live podcast tapings, interactive partner activations, and much more.”

Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming New York Comedy Festival shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Monday, July 22.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
