The Workout | New York Comedy Festival | Tue Nov 10 · 8 PM
About this Event
Upper East Side Comedy Club is the official Workout Room of the festival.
We're proud to introduce The Workout — a nightly series during festival week where headliners drop in to test new bits, road-map upcoming specials, and share the stage with the best up-and-coming comics in New York.
What Is The Workout?
Every big comedy special starts the same way — a comic in a small room, trying jokes that haven't quite landed yet, in front of an audience that gets to be first.
The Workout is that room.
During NYCF week, festival headliners will stop by Upper East Side Comedy Club between their theater dates to work out material that hasn't been on stage yet. Between drop-ins, you'll see the sharpest rising comics in NYC delivering their most polished sets — the ones they've been building all year for exactly this crowd.
You get:
- Festival headliners testing brand-new material
- NYC's top up-and-comers presenting their tightest sets
- A room where every set matters — because everyone is working
It's the show comics wish existed at every festival. Now it does.
