FAQs

What is NYCFF?

The New York Comedy Film Festival (NYCFF) is an annual comedy film festival in New York City showcasing the funniest short films, features, documentaries, mockumentaries, and digital shorty shorts from emerging and established comedy creators.

Who handles ticketing for NYCFF?

Tickets for NYCFF are handled by our official ticketing partner (TBA).

How do I submit my comedy film to NYCFF?

Submissions are closed for our 2026 Festival, but they will open again on FilmFreeway.com.

I have an idea for a NYCFF event. Who do I talk to?

We love a weird pitch. Want to host a script read of My Cousin Vinny 2: Still Cousining? A silent film roast? A PowerPoint comedy duel?
Email us at info@comedyfilmfestivals.com with your big idea. We’re not saying we’ll do it. But we are saying we’ll read it while sipping a cocktail with a rubber chicken garnish.

What time should I arrive?

Doors typically open 30 minutes before showtime.

Is there a bar? What about food?

You bet. We’ve got a full bar & bar snacks.

Is there an age restriction for NYCFF shows?

Most NYCFF events are 16+ unless otherwise stated.

Are there assigned seats?

Usually it’s general admission—aka first come, best laugh.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are non-refundable & non-exchangeable. So double-check the date before committing. Life is uncertain, but our no-refunds policy isn’t.

Is there a dress code?

Just wear clothes. That’s our only rule. This is comedy, not couture week. (Though we won’t stop you from serving a look.)

What if it rains?

NYCFF events run rain or shine—because comedy doesn’t melt.
