Pretty much every big name in comedy will grace a New York stage during the NYCF, from Artie Lange, Ricky Gervais and Tracy Morgan to Bill Maher, Patton Oswalt and Andy Samberg. Serious, professionally minded panels at the Paley Center (Keeping It Fresh: Television Writing in the Internet Age) share the schedule with over-the-top improv nights at UCB and large-scale shows like Dane Cook at Madison Square Garden.
