The New York Comedy Festival takes over theaters, comedy clubs, and concert halls across all five boroughs, and the city laughs louder than at any other point in the year. The festival runs November 6 to 15 this year, and it marks the 22nd annual edition of the largest and longest-running comedy festival in the country. If you want to hear the best comedians in the business, a trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York Comedy Festival 2026<\/a> belongs on your calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-makes-the-new-york-comedy-festival-special\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes the New York Comedy Festival Special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caroline Hirsch, founder of the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carolines on Broadway<\/a> comedy club, launched the festival in 2004 with a dozen stand-up shows over five days. Today, the NY comedy festival packs more than 200 comedians into more than 100 shows over ten days. Stand-up anchors the schedule, but the festival also books live podcast recordings, sketch and improv showcases, film and television screenings, industry panels, and fundraising events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That variety means every night offers something different. You might catch a podcast taping on Tuesday, a sketch troupe on Wednesday, and a sold-out theater show on Saturday. The NYC comedy festival rewards curious audiences who want to see more than one style of comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-who-is-performing-at-the-new-york-comedy-festival-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is Performing at the New York Comedy Festival 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 lineup<\/a> reads like a who\u2019s who of modern comedy. <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/dave-chappelle-karmageddon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dave Chappelle<\/a> brings his famous brand of comedy to <a href=\"https:\/\/arlohotels.com\/blog\/what-to-do-near-madison-square-garden\/\">Madison Square Garden<\/a> on November 6 and 7. Joanne McNally performs at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetownhall.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Town Hall<\/a> on November 7, and Sarah Sherman and Patti Harrison team up there on November 8. <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/marc-maron-yammering-into-the-void-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marc Maron<\/a> brings his Yammering Into the Void tour to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msg.com\/beacon-theatre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beacon Theatre<\/a> the same night. <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/jordan-jensen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jordan Jensen<\/a> takes the Beacon stage on November 12, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/ilana-glazer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ilana Glazer<\/a> follows on November 13. <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/dropout-improv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dropout Improv<\/a> heads to <a href=\"https:\/\/us.atgtickets.com\/venues\/kings-theatre-brooklyn\/whats-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kings Theatre<\/a> in Brooklyn on November 13. On opening night, Matt Rogers and Dave Mizzoni bring <a href=\"https:\/\/nycomedyfestival.com\/lineup\/gayme-show-starring-matt-rogers-and-dave-mizzoni\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gayme Show!<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/tribecapac.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center<\/a>. Organizers keep adding shows, so check the website for the latest schedule and tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tips-for-planning-your-festival-week\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Planning Your Festival Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with your must-see headliners, then fill the gaps with smaller club shows. Clubs across the five boroughs host many of the festival\u2019s lesser-known acts, and those intimate rooms often deliver the biggest surprises. Stand-up fans can pair a theater show with a late club set, while podcast lovers can hunt for live recordings. Check each show\u2019s start time before you book, because listed times range from 6:45 PM to 9:45 PM. Add a night or two to your stay, and you can see several shows without rushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-getting-from-arlo-soho-to-the-shows\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting From Arlo SoHo to the Shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arlo SoHo sits at 231 Hudson Street, on the corner of Hudson and Canal, which puts you in an easy spot for downtown comedy. The BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center lies roughly three-quarters of a mile away. You can walk there in about 15 minutes, or a rideshare gets you there in roughly five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midtown and the Upper West Side shows require more planning. Town Hall, on West 43rd Street, sits roughly 2.7 miles from the hotel, and a rideshare typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. The Beacon Theatre, on Broadway near 74th Street, lies roughly 5.5 miles away, so allow 30 minutes or more on show nights. Leave early, because pre-show traffic slows every car around the theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-make-a-night-of-it-downtown\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make a Night of It Downtown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart festival-goers plan the whole evening, not just the show. <a href=\"https:\/\/arlohotels.com\/soho\/blog\/the-best-restaurants-in-soho-nyc-for-every-food-lover\/\">Grab an early dinner<\/a> in SoHo, Tribeca, or the West Village, all within a short walk of Arlo SoHo. After an early show, head back to the hotel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/artrooftops.com\/location\/soho\/\">rooftop bar<\/a>, where you can swap favorite bits while the downtown skyline glows around you. Arlo SoHo\u2019s compact, <a href=\"https:\/\/arlohotels.com\/soho\/rooms\/\">smartly designed rooms<\/a> give you a comfortable place to recharge between late nights. Pack walking shoes, charge your phone, and keep your tickets handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-the-nyc-comedy-festival-is-worth-the-trip\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the NYC Comedy Festival Is Worth the Trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few events pack this much comedy into ten days. The New York Comedy Festival gives you established stars, rising talent, and genre-bending shows in venues that range from storied theaters to intimate clubs. You laugh alongside a crowd that came to laugh, and you leave with stories you will repeat for years. Pick your favorite shows, map your route, and lock in your tickets before dates fill up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/book.arlohotels.com\/?_ga=2.99031452.387628687.1734988781-293640385.1734988775&amp;_gl=1*7tlo6q*_gcl_au*MzIxOTE2OTI4LjE3MzQ5ODg3NzY.*_ga*MjkzNjQwMzg1LjE3MzQ5ODg3NzU.*_ga_JW2M50PQWL*MTczNDk4ODY5MC4xMC4xLjE3MzQ5ODg4NjEuMjEuMC4w&amp;adult=1&amp;arrive=2024-12-23&amp;chain=19470&amp;child=0&amp;currency=USD&amp;depart=2024-12-24&amp;hotel=70018&amp;level=hotel&amp;locale=en-US&amp;productcurrency=USD&amp;promo-or-group=promo&amp;rooms=1&amp;utm_source=web&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=blog_post\">Book your stay<\/a> at Arlo SoHo today, and make the New York Comedy Festival 2026 the funniest trip of your year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every November, New York turns into one giant comedy club.
