look who's back

Founded by entertainment mogul Jarrod Moses and comedy champion Caroline Hirsch in 2004, the New York Comedy Festival highlights the best and brightest of the comedy world, often showcasing over 200 performers in over 60 different shows, from good old-fashioned stand-up comedy to podcasts, panels and more! Join Jimmy Carr for a much-anticipated repeat appearance as he takes to the Carnegie Hall stage on November 9.

One of the hardest-working stand-ups out there, Jimmy Carr has built an enviable reputation for taboo-baiting one-liners, his dapper dress sense, and scathing heckler putdowns. In his native UK, he's been pushing the comedy envelope for over twenty years, and is also a regular host and guest on topical comedy shows, such as 8 Out of 10 Cats. His fame in the US is on the rise, helped by sets on The Tonight Show and The Late Late Show. If you haven't seen him perform live yet, you're in for a real treat! If you're easily offended, you may want to stay at home...
