JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The National Comedy Center is ready to start laughing again in front of a live crowd.

It announced that the 2022 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will happen in August, after being canceled the past two years due to COVID-19.

Margaret Cho, Jeff Foxworthy, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Kevin Nealon all plan to headline this year’s festival that features more than 50 live events.

A Stand-Up Comedy Showcase has also been added to the lineup to celebrate the 30th year for the live event.
