Comedy festivals in such big hubs like LA and NYC are really hard to pull off. There’s the logistics side of it sure, but trying to bring up something different from the veritable festival that incidentally happens on a nightly basis in either city is a true challenge.

Thank goodness comedian/podcaster/raconteur Chris Gethard is back in the full of swing of things and throwing a Beautiful/CONonymous Festival come this May in Brooklyn. It will combine live tapings of Gethard’s signature podcast, Beautiful/Anonymous, as well as stand-up shows (complete with music from Shellshag, the band behind the Beautiful/Anonymous theme), meeting past callers from the podcast, waffles, dancing, and so much more.

Oh yeah, Wyatt Cenac, Joyelle Nicole Jonson, Adam Pally, Emmy Blotnick, Christi Chiello, Nick Fierro, Jo Firestone, Petey DeAbreu, Brittany Carney, Franco Danger, Andrew Fisher, and more comedians will be taking part in this four day comedy and feelings extravaganza too. Beautiful/CONonymous is set to run from Thurs. May 4th-Sun. May 7th at The Bell House (and Gethard watching Contact for the first time at Nitehawk Cinema Williamsburg).

It’s going to be truly something special and, hopefully, an annual thing for NYC comedy for a very long time to come.

You can get individual tickets for $25 a pop or a festival pass for $120. Whatever your choice is, make it fast and go get in on Beautiful/CONonymous here.
