Now in its seventh year, The New York Comedy Festival, produced by Carolines on Broadway and United Entertainment Group in association with Comedy Central announced today that comedians Aziz Ansari, Adam Carolla, Margaret Cho, Louis CK, Kevin Hart, Gabriel Iglesias, Luis Jimenez, Maz Jobrani, Joel McHale, Rosie O’Donnell, Brian Regan, and Nick Swardson will perform at this year’s festival. 

They will be joined by more than 150 other comedians performing at more than 10 venues throughout the course of the five-day festival, which runs November 3rd – 7th.

“The New York Comedy Festival has become THE destination for legendary and rising comedic talent,” says Caroline Hirsch, founder of the Festival and owner of the famed Carolines on Broadway.  “We are excited about this year’s programming that features an array of performers that are distinct, visionary and downright hilarious.”

"I'm thrilled to give the New York Comedy Festival another try this November” says comedian Joel McHale.  “To be playing Carnegie Hall is a milestone in the Festival's misjudgment, but for me it is a dream come true.”

Tickets for all shows are available through the New York Comedy Festival website: www.nycomedyfestival.com.
