USPA NEWS - The Brooklyn Comedy Festival was founded by producer Ashleigh Walker and performers Julian Kiani and Chris Nester. The Brooklyn Comedy Festival was created to celebrate the scene and to give every level of performer a chance to shine on Brooklyn´s many stages...
Each year, the Festival showcases both established and up-and-coming performers from every realm of comedy, including sketch, standup, improv, and web series. In addition to shows, there are panel discussions and after parties throughout Brooklyn hosted by local and national sponsors.


Brooklyn has played a major role in various aspects of American culture including literature, cinema and theater. The Brooklyn accent is often portrayed as "typical New York" in American television and film.

Brooklyn hosts the world-renowned Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and the second largest public art collection in the United States, housed in the Brooklyn Museum.
Brooklyn's neighborhoods are ever-changing as populations move in and out. Brooklyn and Queens have been a worldwide example of poor immigrants getting along most of the time, often with better results than in their home countries. Presently, they have substantial populations from many countries. The borough also attracts people previously living in other cities in the United States.
