New York Comedy Festival · Nov 6–14, 2026

The Workout

The New York Comedy Festival's warm-up room, at Upper East Side Comedy Club.

What Is The Workout?

During New York Comedy Festival week, festival headliners will stop by Upper East Side Comedy Club between their festival dates to work out material that hasn't been on stage yet. Between drop-ins, you'll see the sharpest rising comics in NYC delivering their most polished sets — the ones they've been building all year for exactly this crowd.

You get:

  • Festival headliners testing brand-new material
  • NYC's top up-and-comers presenting their tightest sets
  • A room where every set matters — because everyone is working

It's the show comics wish existed at every festival. Now it does.
