70+ AAPI Comedians. 6 Shows. 3 Nights. One Stage.
The Asian Comedy Festival is back and bigger than ever, returning to New York City for its 7th annual celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander voices in comedy. Taking place May 5th through May 7th, the highly anticipated festival will feature more than 70 of the funniest AAPI comedians from across the country and beyond.
With six shows across three unforgettable nights, the festival once again brings audiences an electrifying mix of stand-up, improv, character performances, and comedic chaos—all under one roof. Known for spotlighting both rising stars and established headliners, the 2026 edition promises one of its most stacked and dynamic lineups to date.
“This year’s festival represents everything we love about comedy right now,” organizers shared. “From fresh new voices to absolute killers, this lineup is a reflection of the diversity, creativity, and fearlessness that defines AAPI comedy today.”
Since its inception, the Asian Comedy Festival has grown into a must-attend event on the national comedy calendar, providing a major platform for underrepresented voices while delivering nonstop laughs to packed audiences. Each year, the festival continues to build momentum, drawing comedy fans eager to experience the next wave of standout talent live and unfiltered.
