A major component to NXNE is its comedy events, and this year is no exception – comedians like Reggie Watts, Marc Maron, and Simon Amstell are all on the line-up.
This is the fifth year that North By Northeast is including comedy as a component of its event.
NXNE has also once again teamed up with Empire Comedy Live, the Canadian Comedy Awards Alumni Show, Comedy Records, Rapp Battlez, Fan Fiction The Show (for a performance of Sailor Moon,) The Epic Nerd Show, Raw & Hard, The Sketchersons’ Sunday Night Live, Vapor Central, and Strip Comedy. They will also welcome back the Laugh Sabbath crew to the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema – the Laugh Sabbath Film Fest returns for its second year as part of NXNE Film.
As an added bonus, visitors’ NXNE Comedy Wristband will also get them access into Marc Maron’s NXNE Interactive keynote address, taking place Wednesday, June 18th.
NXNE runs June 13-22, 2014, with NXNE Comedy taking place from June 17-22. Full scheduling details will be announced soon.
