Welcome

New York’s premiere hip hop improv group are excited to announce the inaugural North Coast Comedy Festival - bringing together a diverse and eclectic group of performers from around the globe to celebrate and support our industry that has suffered so much this past year.

Curated by Victoria Gagliano, RJ Williams, and Douglas Widick with a combined 20 years of experience on the New York and London theatre scenes, the North Coast Comedy Festival aims to highlight and support some of the most exciting and impactful comedy teams in the business, while also giving back to the audiences of New York City and beyond who we love so much.

The festival will be partnering with Asylum NYC (a/k/a Improv Asylum) who have recently taken over the old UCB Chelsea Space on Manhattan’s west side. With a strong belief in the value of our art, North Coast has agreed with the venue that all tickets will sell at a minimum $20 individually ($10 livestream), with a limited number of festival passes available to see all 18 shows for only $180.

In addition, the festival will program specially curated networking events, panel discussions, and after show drink events for the artists.
