Comedy Village in Times Square is presenting two landmark comedy events during the New York Comedy Festival that bridge generations of humor and cultural representation. The venue will host the long-awaited MTV Oddville Live: The Reunion alongside the high-energy Latina showcase NYC Stand-Up: Chicas You Should Know, creating a diverse programming lineup that celebrates both comedy history and contemporary voices.
For the first time since the late 1990s, the entire Oddville, MTV cast reunites for two exclusive performances on Wednesday, November 13 at 8 PM and 10 PM. The reunion features Rich Brown, David Greene, Melissa Gabriel, Amazing Amy, Suzanne Underdog Muldowney, Handfarter Bruce Gaston, Mr. Phil!, The Zambonies!, Mario Bosco, and Frank & David. The live show revives the weird brilliance and irreverent humor that made Oddville a cult phenomenon during MTV's late-night era. Adapted from the public-access favorite Beyond Vaudeville, Oddville became known for its oddball guests, underground bands, and spontaneous chaos that defined an era of alternative comedy programming.
"Oddville was one of the most original and hilarious shows ever on MTV, and nothing like it has been seen since," said PJ Landers, club owner and lifelong comedian. "We're thrilled to welcome the entire cast to the heart of New York City at Comedy Village. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a highlight of the NY Comedy Festival." Tickets are $28 and available at https://comedyvillage.com/events.
Before Oddville takes the stage, Comedy Village spotlights the official New York Comedy Festival showcase Chicas You Should Know on Monday, November 11 at 8 PM. Created by Gina Brillon, the powerhouse behind Chismosa Comedy and Women Stand Up NYC, Chicas You Should Know celebrates the bold, brilliant voices of New York's funniest Latinas, taking the comedy scene by the cajones. Hosted by Paula J. Leon, the lineup features Daniela Mora from Adult Swim, Glorelys Mora from Netflix Is a Joke, Isa Medina from Don't Tell Comedy, Becky Granger from Netflix, and headliner Gina Brillon from HBO and Amazon Prime.
The show runs from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM at Comedy Village, located at 352 West 44th Street in Times Square, and represents one of the most anticipated events in this year's festival lineup. Tickets for Chicas You Should Know are $26 and available now at https://comedyvillage.com. From nostalgic reunions to fresh new voices, Comedy Village continues to shape Times Square's live-comedy scene by hosting events that mix legacy, culture, and creativity, establishing itself as a defining stage of the New York Comedy Festival.
