50 First Jokes

Kick off the year with a laugh (many, in fact) at the 19th annual edition of 50 First Jokes.

Each year in early January, John F. O'Donnell invites 50 of his favorite comics to present their first new joke of the year. The mega show welcomes established comics along with up-and-comers as a celebration of NYC's stand-up comedy scene. This edition features Alison Leiby, Ashton Womack, Brittney Carney, Caitlin Pellufo, Chloe Radcliffe, Dan Perlman, Emmy Blotnick, Kenice Mobley, Michael Cruz Kayne, Natasha Vaynblat and many, many more.

O'Donnell describes it as a "fun, fast and loose show" that's become a favorite for audiences and comedians alike. See it at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Saturday, January 3.
