On Juneteenth, NYLaughs proudly presents the Black Women in Comedy Laff Fest (BWIC) at Lincoln Center, a landmark event aimed at celebrating and elevating the exceptional talent of Black women in comedy. The BWIC Laff Fest is a celebration of the extraordinary talent and resilience of Black women in comedy. Bringing the 5th year of BWIC Laff Fest to Lincoln Center marks a significant milestone for Black women comedians.
