When Louis Faranda and his team started putting together theafter a year’s absence due to the pandemic, they knew it would be a lot of work — it always is. But this year, bringing together hundreds of comedians to make thousands of New Yorkers and visitors laugh was even more challenging than before.
“We are supporting all these local venues, and this will boost the whole city,” Hirsch says. She expects comedy fans will also go out to eat and drink in all those neighborhoods before and after shows. Faranda says the festival will “encompass the diversity of the city,” with shows featuring local performers of every race, ethnicity, and gender identity, but he is also bringing in “unique” comedians whom New Yorkers have not seen before. So while there are plenty of established stars including Colin Quinn, Nick Kroll, Brian Regan and Marc Maron, Faranda is equally excited for comedy fans to discover yukmeisters such as Alok, Punkie Johnson and Esther Povitsky.
“There’s always a new crisis so we always are willing to change directions in what we’re trying to accomplish.”
