Ithaca Laughs 2026
Discover The Next Icons Of Stand-Up Comedy
Ithaca Laughs 2026
Dates: May 28–30, 2026
Location: Downtown Ithaca, NY
Ithaca Laughs 2026 brings a full weekend of stand-up comedy to downtown Ithaca.
From May 28 through May 30, five curated stand-up shows take over NRE during one of the busiest and most exciting weekends in the city. Each show features a different lineup of rising and established comedians performing under the ComedyHOF banner, “Discover the Next Icons of Stand-Up.”
This festival is built for people who love real stand-up. The room is intimate. The comedians are sharp. The audience is part of the energy. No distractions. Just a stage, a microphone, and comedians doing what they do best.
Every show offers a different experience. Different comedians. Different moments. If you enjoy live comedy, one show will make you laugh. Two or three shows will give you the full weekend experience.
All shows take place at NRE, located at 402 W State St in Ithaca.
Festival Passes are available and provide access to every show across the weekend. Quantities are limited.
Choose a show, or join us for the full weekend and see the next icons of stand-up before everyone else does.
Secure your tickets and be part of Ithaca Laughs 2026.
