For most of us, this week marks the end of vacations and the beginning of a long stretch with no breaks through Thanksgiving. So by the time the end of October rolls around, you'll be in great need of a good laugh or two. That's why you should know about the New York Comedy Festival. Running from November 6th through November 11th, this year's lineup is one of the strongest we've seen yet, featuring everyone's favorite lovable loser Artie Lange of Howard Stern Show fame, Louie CK, Dennis Leary, Bill Maher, Seth McFarlane and the princess of modern comedy, Sarah Silverman. Ticket prices vary by show and can be purchased here.
