Comedy Central offers free tickets to half-hour comedy specials in New Orleans

Comedy Central will return to New Orleans’ Civic Theatre next month for another series of half-hour stand-up specials. 14 comics will take the stage during seven tapings (with two performing each night) between Wednesday, April 19 and Saturday, April 22.

New Orleans area residents that would like to attend the shows can RSVP here for free tickets.

Comedy Central’s tapings will be for the next season of the network’s program, Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents. Previously known as The Half Hour, the series showcases 30-minute sets from up-and-coming stand-up comics. Last year’s season was also shot at the Civic Theatre, a venue that has played host to recent comedy specials from acclaimed comics like Neal Brennan, Sasheer Zamata and Chris D’Elia.

Each of the upcoming tapings will cover two episodes of Stand-Up Presents. Participating comics include John Johnson, Shane Torres, Adam Clayton-Holland, Lashonda Lester, Anthony DeVito, Yamaneika Saunders, Julio Torres, Jenny Zigrino, Casey Jones Salengo, Sam Jay, Joel Kim Booster, Jo Firestone, Solomon Georgio and Chris Redd.
