Laugh Out Loud

The New York Comedy Festival starts bringing laughs to jaded New Yorkers today. This year's line-up is star-studded, featuring Stephen Colbert, Lisa Lampanelli, Patton Oswalt, Tracy Morgan, and Andy Samberg, to name a few.

Shows are being held at assorted venues around the city and tickets range from reasonable to laughable, but some of the comedians are not to be missed.
