“The Jersey City Comedy Festival was a fantastic experience - the shows were all super fun and I got to meet lots of great people. It was also the very first comedy festival not to reject me, so they clearly have an eye for talent.”

Isabel Hagen(2018), The Tonight Show, Just For Laughs

“I loved being part of the Jersey City Comedy Festival! Meredith and Rich and all involved make you feel welcome and part of a really well-run comedy festival. Great shows, packed houses, first-class headliners and fantastic comedians from around the world - what more can you ask for?”

Jon Bander (2023)

”I had the best time performing at the Jersey City Comedy Festival! Every show was sold out, and the audiences were great. It's the industry's best run festival.””

Steve Cohen (2023)
