Jerry Seinfeld is set to headline the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in Jamestown, New York, from August 6-9. The festival, held at the National Comedy Center, will feature Seinfeld kicking off the event on Thursday, August 6, at the 3,400-seat Northwest Arena.
Last-minute tickets for Seinfeld's performance were available starting at $189, including fees, on SeatGeek at the time of publication. A promo code, NYPOST10, offers $10 off purchases over $250 for first-time SeatGeek users.
Following Seinfeld, comedians Bert Kreischer and Seth Meyers are scheduled to perform on August 8 and 9, respectively. The festival will also showcase rising stand-up comedians such as Peter Revello, Caitlin Peluffo, Kenice Mobley, Ian Lara, Katie Hannigan, Matt Koff, and Alex English.
"We’ve built this festival to offer something for every kind of comedy fan," said Malachi Livermore, National Comedy Center Vice President of Programming & Guest Experiences. "From nationally touring headliners to the stand-up showcases featuring a wide range of distinct comedic voices, along with late-night shows, block parties and special events throughout the city – audiences can experience comedy in multiple ways across the entire weekend."
In addition to stand-up performances, the festival will include exhibits and talks focusing on the legacies of George Carlin, "Saturday Night Live," and Don Rickles, as well as archives of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Free block parties featuring live music, food, and drinks will also be held outside the National Comedy Center.
Seinfeld's tour dates extend beyond the festival, with performances scheduled across North America through January 2027. His recent specials, "Jerry Before Seinfeld" (2017) and "23 Hours To Kill" (2020), are available to stream on Netflix. His 1998 special, "I’m Telling You for the Last Time," can be purchased on Amazon.
The classic sitcom "Seinfeld," starring Jerry Seinfeld, George, Elaine, and Kramer, is available to stream in its entirety on Netflix, along with his show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."
Separately, for fans of the show, the New York Yankees are offering "Seinfeld"-inspired George Costanza bobbleheads on August 27 during a game against the Houston Astros. Tickets for this game were found starting at $28, including fees, on SeatGeek.
