The New York Comedy Festival adds more than 100 shows to its 2026 lineup, expanding a 10-day run held across New York City from November 6 to 15. The festival takes place in venues across all five boroughs, with the newly announced schedule broadening its slate of live performances and related events.
Among the highlighted programming mentioned by multiple outlets are events featuring performers including Tokyo Kampai Boys, as well as other comedy-focused appearances such as Moshe Kasher and Alfred Robles. The updated lineup also includes special formats such as screenings and conversations, including an “Anxiety Club” screening and discussion. The festival’s additions further diversify the mix of stand-up and curated programming during the weeklong period.
While both outlets emphasize the scale of the expansion—100-plus added shows and an all-borough, Nov. 6–15 timeline—specific venue details and named highlights vary in emphasis between coverage, reflecting different selections of what to spotlight within the larger announcement.
