This year’s line-up reads famous comedians including Dave Attell, Bill Burr, Margaret Cho, Ilana Glazer, and the formidable Michelle Wolf are on the bill to light up the city with their quick-witted repartee.
Caroline Hirsch, the festival’s founder and owner, expressed her enthusiasm: “We’re beyond thrilled to bring the comedy world’s finest – from raw talents in the making to the polished jesters we all revere – from across our nation and beyond to this year’s festival. Just picture it – a melting pot of comedy, stirred to perfection with our hand-picked line-up, which we can’t wait to expand further in the coming months.”
The ticket floodgates are set to open for Bread Cashback American Express cardmembers as early as Wednesday, July 12. Those not lucky enough to carry the Bread can join the jocular jamboree on Friday, July 14. Be advised, presales are likely to spring up on a show-by-show basis, so keep an eye peeled on individual ticket sales pages.
