The National Comedy Center, the nation’s official museum and cultural institution dedicated to comedy, has announced the headliners for the first two nights of this year’s Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
Acclaimed Comedians Jeff Ross and Nicole Byer will headline the first two nights of the 2024 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, which will run August 1-4.
The August 3 headliner will be announced sometime in June. Event organizers said the headliner is one of the highest-grossing stand-up comedians in 2024.
Ross will be performing on August 2. Ross was the co-host and producer of the recent Netflix “Roast of Tom Brady.”
“Jeff Ross has been a genre-defining artist for decades, continuing and revolutionizing insult comedy. Beyond the roasts, he’s just a fantastic stand-up comedian, an incredible writer, and a genuine champion of the art form’s past and present, which I love about him,” said Journey Gunderson, National Comedy Center Executive Director.
Byer will be performing August 1. She was become widely known as the host of Nailed It!, the Netflix Emmy-nominated reality baking competition series.
“Nicole Byer is a fearless performer with a candid, razor sharp take that brings the audience along for a fun ride. I’m thrilled to have her in this lineup and welcome her to Jamestown, where fans from across the country celebrate this craft with our award-winning comedy museum visitor experience by day, and the best live comedy shows by night.”
Tickets for Ross and Byer’s shows, along with other festival events will go on pre-sale for National Comedy Members on Thursday, May 30 at noon.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday, June 6 and can be purchased online.
