When the New York Comedy Festival started in 2004, it was a modest affair, featuring only a dozen standup shows. Twenty years later, it has grown into a bustling, sprawling staple of the comedy season, showcasing over 100 shows across all boroughs.
Chloe Radcliffe proves that audiences can still empathize with a woman who cheats on her partner. Her solo show, Cheat, delves into infidelity with refreshing candor and delivers hard-hitting punchlines.
Bill Maher, the most frequent performer at the festival, stands out in a lineup not heavy on political comics. He has hinted that this might be his final standup performance.
The festival runs through Nov. 17 and features a variety of shows highlighting the diversity of stand-up comedy. It serves as a significant platform for emerging and established comedians alike.
