New York Comedy Festival Announces Lineup

By , About.com GuideAugust 12, 2012

Follow me on:

Patton OswaltThe New York Comedy Festival hits the Big Apple this November, and a very strong lineup has been announced for this year's festival.

Comics performing at one of the country's premiere festival include Robin Williams, Patton Oswalt (pictured at right), Aziz Ansari, Rob Delaney, Kevin Hart, Adam Carolla, Bill Maher, Jim Gaffigan, Artie Lange (in what might be his biggest and most public stand-up appearance since his 2010 suicide attempt), Ricky Gervais and Brian Regan. That really is an all-star lineup; the festival doesn't appear to even bother with smaller club shows or up-and-comer showcases. Nothing but heavy hitters.

What do you guys think? Will you be attending the festival this year? Any comics you would have liked to see added to the lineup?

The New York Comedy Festival will take place November 7 through the 11th. For more information or to order tickets, visit the New York Comedy Festival official site.
