2 Dope Queens.

In recent years, the New York Comedy Festival has brought us Anthony Atamanuik’s genius Trump impersonation, pre-President Show; waterworks courtesy of Nathan Fielder; and the “Oh, Hello” guys before they made it big on Broadway. So it’s no surprise that there’s plenty to look forward to during this year’s fest, set for Nov. 7 to 12.

The lineup, announced just minutes ago, includes Kevin Smith doing one of his marathon spiels; a live taping of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee; Nerdist extraordinaire Chris Hardwick, coming off of the epic final episode of @Midnight; Obama speechwriter turned Newsroom writer-producer Jon Lovett doing a live taping of his Lovett or Leave It podcast; a taping of the 2 Dope Queens podcast, featuring Daily Show correspondent turned big-screen star Jessica Williams; a return appearance by the original dirtbag lefty, Bill Maher; and a taping of “How Did This Get Made?”, the podcast that was dissecting awful movies way before James Franco played the king of them all, Tommy Wiseau, in The Disaster Artist. You’ll also get standup sets from Jim Norton, Nick Offerman, Brian Regan, Iliza Schlesinger and others. And, as previously announced, Conan O’Brien is doing a week of Conan shows at the Apollo Theater.

While many of the events will be taking place at uptown venues like Carolines, Town Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and Madison Square Garden, TBS will also have a “comedy hub” at Ian Scrager’s due to return this fall.

Tickets go on sale here on August 14 at 10am. Here are the headliners that have been announced so far.
