Christmas harkens, which means the new year approaches, which means a new 50 First Jokes is almost upon us. That’s right 50 or so (probably more) of NYC comedy’s best and brightest do the very first joke they came up with since the turn to 2024 in a rapid fire joke extravaganza.

As always, John F. O’Donnell is hosting and The Bell House will be home to this mini-marathon of the shiniest new jokes of 2024 from such venerable NYC comics as:

Charlie Bardey
Kevin Iso
Shalewa Sharpe
Fareeha Khan
Zach Zimmerman
Moss Perricone
Kenice Mobley
Dan Perlman
Rojo Perez
Maggie Crane
Max Wittert
Casey James Salengo
Brittany Carney
Chloe Radcliffe

There will be two shows for 50 First Jokes this year at 6:30PM and 10PM (and maybe the 10PM will be more polished, but also, em, more unhinged?). Tickets are $20 right now and you best go get them here and here, respectively.
