“We’ve built this festival to offer something for every kind of comedy fan,” Malachi Livermore, National Comedy Center Vice President of Programming & Guest Experiences said.
“From nationally touring headliners to the stand-up showcases featuring a wide range of distinct comedic voices, along with late-night shows, block parties and special events throughout the city – audiences can experience comedy in multiple ways across the entire weekend.”
That’s not to mention all of the exciting exhibits and talkbacks scheduled to take place including talks about the legacies of George Carlin, “Saturday Night Live” and Don Rickles and Jerry Stiller/Anne Meara archives.
There’s also free block parties featuring live music, food, drinks, and activities right outside the National Comedy Center.
Essentially, this is the ultimate pilgrimage for any comedy fan.

Where can I get Yankees tickets to score a George Costanza bobblehead?
For the third straight season, the New York Yankees are giving away “Seinfeld”-inspired George Costanza bobbleheads.
This year, they’ll be handing out 18,000 tiny Jason Alexander statuettes — where he’ll likely be polishing off a calzone — on Thursday, Aug. 27 when Aaron Judge’s Bronx Bombers go toe-to-toe with Yordan Alvarez’s Houston Astros.
As “Seinfeld” fans may recall, George’s infamous run-in with the Italian delicacy comes from the Season 7 episode “The Calzone” where he accidentally gets his boss George Steinbrenner (voiced by Larry David) hooked on the folded pizza.
If you’d like to get a taste of your very own Costanza calzone bobblehead, tickets are available for the late August, dog days of summer contest.
Better yet, they’re surprisingly cheap.
At the time of publication, we found seats going for as low as $28 including fees on SeatGeek.
