The New York Underground Comedy Festival is just the thing for New York City travelers looking for a laugh. Hundreds of the city's top comics will take to stages across the city in hopes of becoming the next big thing to come from "The Big Apple", and hopefully make an audience or two laugh while at it. And don't think that the comics performing won't be worth your time simply because you don't know of their names.
This festival has hosted the comedic talents of a number of hilarious acts that have gone on to find national television success. Nick Dipaolo, Judy Gold, Christian Finnegan, Patrice O'Neal, Keith Robinson and Rich Vos have all been a part of the New York Underground Festival and have been featured on Comedy Central. If you're looking for a breath of fresh air within the comedy scene, then the New York Underground Comedy Festival is just the place to start.
