New York Comedy Festival: Judd Apatow, Trevor Noah ‘Daily Show’ Host to Perform

The New York Comedy Festival kicks off on Nov. 10, and already the show has some heavy-hitters confirmed to perform. It's being reported that Trainwreck director Judd Apatow will make an appearance at the festival as will soon-to-be Daily Show host Trevor Noah. Additional performers are comedians Sarah Silverman and Tooken star Margaret Cho.

The festival comes in a partnership between both Comedy Central and New York comedy club Caroline's on Broadway. The New York Times reports that over 200 comics will be performing in more than 60 shows taking place throughout the city.

Apatow will be performing at Carnegie Hall on Nov. 14, and Noah will take the stage of Town Hall on Nov. 14.

More of the lineup is as follows:

- Billy Crystal will be in conversation with Showtime's Inside Comedy host David Steinberg at Town Hall on Nov. 12.
- Sarah Silverman will perform her set at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Nov. 13.

Tickets will be available through the New York Comedy Festival website starting Monday, Aug. 17.

The Times also notes that Bill Maher, Bill Burr and Kathy Griffin will be performing at the festival. Check out more of the show's lineup here.

Both headlining comedians, Apatow and Noah, have been in the news as of late. Apatow's film Trainwreck has been succeeding in the box office. Moreover, he's been making headlines for comments about accused sexual abuser Bill Cosby.

Recently he did an impression of the comedian on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show that immediately went viral.

Noah stopped by Jon Stewart's final episode of The Daily Show to (kind of) say goodbye. Actually, he was just measuring the set... and then some.

Meaning Stewart's penis. True story.
