NYLaughs, a comedy arts nonprofit that excels at sneaking world-class stand-up into public spaces, returns to Lincoln Center on June 17 with a comedy lineup so stacked it feels dangerously funny. Headlining the night is James Austin Johnson from Saturday Night Live—beloved for his uncanny impressions and his scene-stealing work across film and television. Joining him is Comedy Cellar favorite and former The Tonight Show writer Jourdain Fisher, and comedy/music chaos queen Charlene Kaye, hailed by Rolling Stone as a “breakout comedy star” and critically acclaimed for her TED Talk, How to Become a K-Pop Superstar in 7 Minutes. Rounding out the lineup is Olivia Carter, whose star is currently blasting into another galaxy as one of the final six comedians competing on Funny AF with Kevin Hart on Netflix. Hosting the evening is Fumi Abe, named one of Vulture’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know."

Lineups are subject to change. Sign up for the latest updates at nylaughs.org.

NYLaughs would love to thank Lincoln Center, the NYLaughs Board, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, NYC City Council, Councilmember Gale Brewer, New York Council on the Arts, and New York Foundation of the Arts for their support.
