NYLaughs Presents: NYC’s First Silent Stand-Up Comedy Festival. Get ready to experience comedy like never before at NYC’s first Silent Stand-Up Comedy Showcase! Spend a day laughing your way through our unique lineup featuring a family hour, music improv, a stand-up showcase, and the hilarious festival headliners, SNL’s #DevonWalker and The Daily Show’s #DulcéSloan. All set against the stunning backdrop of Pier 57, you’ll enjoy jaw-dropping NYC views while getting your giggles on. Due to rooftop sound restrictions, the show goes silent with free headphones available (just bring a credit card or government ID to borrow). It’s a comedy festival with a twist, where silence truly is golden—until the laughter kicks in! Follow @nylaughs for the latest updates and talent appearances. Don’t miss out! FREE to the public.
NYLaughs is excited to present it’s first free comedy festival designed to provide New Yorkers with a laughter intervention! Additionally, NYLaughs joins Pier57 to present a day of stand-up comedy events to celebrate, collaborate, and give back! All shows are free!
This festival is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council; A.R.T./New York; A.R.T./New York’s NYC Small Theatres Fund made possible with support from the Howard Gilman Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul. We thank the New York City Council for Discretionary Funding in addition to Honorable Councilmembers Gale Brewer for sponsoring the festival and Keith Powers for his ongoing support of NYLaughs’ programming and mission. We’d also like to thank Pier 57 and the NYC Tourism Foundation.
