TRIBECA ENTERPRISES AND COMEDY DYNAMICS GREENLIGHT TEN STAND-UP SPECIALS TO BE FILMED LIVE AT THE TRIBECA FESTIVAL
NEW YORK - June 1, 2021 - Tribeca and Comedy Dynamics have announced that they're producing ten stand-up comedy specials at this year's festival. This comedy program is part of Tribeca's 12-day celebration to re-open New York and bring live entertainment back to the city June 9th - 20th. The ten specials, produced by Tribeca and Comedy Dynamics, will be directed by Brian Volk-Weiss as part of Tribeca's expansion into new storytelling platforms.
We had a blast working with the amazing team at Tribeca for our 2020 Comedy Drive-In at the Rose Bowl and we're excited to be taking the show back to New York City in 2021 to give fans a bigger, better and more interactive experience, said Brian Volk-Weiss, Founder and CEO of Comedy Dynamics.
In early 2020, Tribeca and Comedy Dynamics teamed up to produce original stand-up comedy specials which were slated to be filmed at the annual Tribeca Festival in New York City. Once covid restrictions were implemented nationwide, they quickly pivoted and evolved the indoor festival into an outdoor comedy drive-in set across the country at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Tribeca x Comedy Dynamics Drive-In featured hour-long comedy sets from Ester Steinberg, Dave Helem, Erica Rhodes and Daniel Webb, making history as the first set of drive-in comedy specials filmed in the midst of the pandemic.
Tribeca is proud to be part of New York City's cultural reopening with12 days of live entertainment at outdoor and indoor venues across all five boroughs said Pete Torres, Chief Operations Officer of Tribeca Enterprises. We're excited to partner and grow our program with Comedy Dynamics bringing ten comedians back to the stage during our 20th anniversary celebration.
As Covid restrictions are being lifted, one-hour comedy sets will be reintroduced to live audiences including the likes of Bill Bellamy, Cocoa Brown, Jackie Fabulous, Josh Gondelman, Helen Hong and more! Fans will be treated to ten stand-up performances which will be taped for later viewing.
