About me: The NYUCF undeniably stand outs as the country's hottest comedy festival with an unprecedented track record of showcasing the country's top emerging talent first.
In 2005 The NYUCF made history being the largest comedy festival in the history of NYC, ending in an 11 state, "Hurricane Katrina Relief Fundraiser"
2007,Now with an international advisory board and support from around the world. The NYUCF will become the world's first global comedy festival with shows on 5 continents Europe, Australia, South Africa and China and North America.
Digital Footage of both the national and international events can be seen on the newly formed NewMediaComedy Network.
With the help of our national and international allies, affiliates and advisory board NewMediaComedy will quickly become the benchmark for digital media.

Thanks for the add. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they'll need inspiration too. An echo of an echo of Buddha or Jesus, encrusted in ritual, loses context & content. Still, we write what we can. Try to hear the deeper questions. ¶ This world's diverse evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — in market, government, & elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by greed. They want us to share that belief, for they use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to control politics & the economy, perpetuating war, poverty, ecocide. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from ubiquitous propaganda, implicit in their framing of the news. ¶ But they're mistaken about our motives. You & I have found empathy inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, even the tank drivers, if only we can wake them, for we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. The bureacracy of brutality cannot stand if we open the eyes of its workers. ¶ What is human nature? Our task is not just to describe what we see, but to choose what we strive to become. The ideological battle between love & fear shapes the world, & its outcome is not yet written. Watching, voting, shopping are not enough. If you haven't already, join the global conversation, in whatever way feels right for you. Merge the revolutions of enlightenment & class struggle. Worldwide understanding has no precedent; we must discover & erase its rules en route. Make love not war is as serious as Orwell & as light as "Chocolat." ¶ For a start, just talk with people — that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. Spread the word. Each of us knows only part of the song, but keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning. Hand in hand, we may heal this world. ¶ Eric
