Having had to weather getting a comedy festival on its leg through COVID-19, the Asian Comedy Fest has persisted to its third year and still very much featuring the best Asian comedy acts that you really, really ought to know, but, for too many reasons, have not become a house hold name yet.

The Asian Comedy Fest is set to due a full on, in-person events at both Stand Up NY on May 6th and a curated sketch/variety show at Caveat on May 7th.

The ACF stand-up showcases are really stacked with many of NYC comedy’s finest including Dylan Adler, Julia Shipplett, Jes Tom, Usama Siddiquee, Wilfred Padua, Michael Cruz Kayne, and many, many more for 6PM ET, 8PM ET, and 10PM ET shows. The Caveat shows have got the comedy stylings of Karen Chee, Youngmi Mayer, Yuhua Hamasaki, and many more also lined-up for 6PM ET, 8PM ET, and 10PM ET shows that will also be live-streamed.

Don’t miss out on any of this if you’re in and around NYC at the beginning of next month. Find full-line-ups and more at asiancomedyfest.com.

Pick of the Day: Dylan Adler: Hit That Track (in NYC) 2/18

We might have told you before (and we will definitely tell you again in our best 100 year end list) that Dylan Adler is one of the funniest people that we got to see for the very first time in 2021. His vulnerable, personal, dark, physical (and often musical) comedy had us doubled over when we first saw it on a rooftop in DTLA earlier this year and it’s imperative to us that you go catch Dylan wherever he’s playing. Thankfully, for New Yorkers, that’s all over town all the time (and perhaps in LA in January).

Adler is actually doing his very own full length show that is a treat that no one in around the NYC’s LES should miss. Hit That Track will have Dylan headline Caveat on Feb. 18th at 7PM ET (so, hopefully that’s far enough from the reaches of this recent COVID-19 surge) and tickets are only $15.

Go get them right here right now and enjoy looking forward to something in mid February rather than worry about Valentine’s Day.

Pick of the Day: One Star New York (in NYC) 1/3

Welp, left, right, and center, comedy shows right now in NYC are getting postponed and cancelled because of the Omicron surge of COVID-19. So, we’ll just have to look past the holidays for something that is, as of this moment, still on the books and will still be a damn good time.

With that in mind, we’d like to highlight Back Fat Variety’s One Star New York, a show that celebrates the worst of NYC as told by some of its best funny people. We’ve always thought of NYC as a place that requires Stockholm Syndrome to live there and it looks like this show revels in that notion.

Expressing their love for the Big Apple through their worst recollections of it will be the lovely collection of Ophira Eisenberg, Martin Urbano, Linsday Boling, and host Emily Winter. One Star New York will be taking place at Caveat where vaccination and masks are thankfully required on Mon Jan. 3rd at 7PM ET. Tickets are $15 right now and you ought to get them here.
