Fans in NYC and across the country can also experience exclusive content from the TBS Comedy HUB via the TBS digital app and social platforms.

TBS NYCF event highlights include:

Search Party's The Guilty Party Season 2 Premiere Party - TBS is working with the critically acclaimed theater company Punchdrunk International (Previous Punchdrunk productions includeSleep No More) to create a unique fan experience showcasing Search Party's addictive satire and mystery with the stars from the show. The totally immersive 360 HUB encounter will allow guests to dive into the world of the series simulated through custom music, lighting and set design. As guests arrive, they will immediately be pulled into an interactive experience featuring flashbacks from season one and sneak peeks into the darker narratives of season two.

Full Frontal's Samantha Bee to participate in an intimate conversation where no topic is off limits and audience questions are encouraged! Q&A hosted by SNL alumni and star of TBS' People of Earth, Ana Gasteyer.

TBS Presents: A TOAST TO THE O.G.s OF COMEDY, a celebration of trailblazing stand-ups, Tracy Morgan and Cedric the Entertainer, from the upcoming TBS comedy The Last O.G. Audiences will be treated to an unfiltered night of hilarious stand-up featuring some of the country's hottest young comedians including Kevin Iso, Derek Gaines, Tracy Ashley, Jak Knight and Donnell Rawlings followed by a sit-down conversation with Tracy and Cedric and the comedians who have been inspired by them. Proceeds from the event will go to the Fortune Society, a charity that supports successful re-entry from incarceration.

The TBS Comedy HUB will also feature a photo exhibit The Comedians' from photographer Limor Garfinkle. The Comedians' photo series is comprised of over 35 never before seen portraits of comedians such as Tracy Morgan, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black, Jim Norton, and many other NY based comedians. For the past two years Garfinkle has been working on this personal project, alongside the help of industry professionals and friends who all volunteered their time and skills for the creation of these images.

With the launch of the TBS Comedy Hub, we continue to evolve our brand across a growing ecosystem of screens and platforms. Our partnership with the New York Comedy Festival further allows fans to interact with TBS talent and TBS series in immersive and entertaining new ways live and virtually. We're excited to announce this impressive lineup of programming and experiences, said Michael Engleman, executive vice president of entertainment marketing and brand innovation for TBS and TNT.

The addition of the TBS Comedy Hub at the festival adds an entire sphere of national audience conversation and engagement with some of television's most premiere content, said Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the New York Comedy Festival and Carolines on Broadway. We are excited for all of the new experiences, comedians and laughs that will pass through the HUB during the course of the festival.
