Here Are the LGBTQ+ Comedians Headlining the ‘Netflix Is a Joke’ Fest
Who's ready to laugh?

Netflix is a Joke: The Festival has arrived and this year's lineup features an insane amount of LGBTQ+ talent.
Advertised as "the biggest comedy event in history (probably)", the eleven-day festival hosts some of the biggest names in comedy in venues around Los Angeles, California for live shows you can buy tickets for! Alongside names like Seth Rogan, Snoop Dogg, and Larry David are many of our favorite comedians, Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, and Tig Notaro.
And on May 7, Billy Eichner is hosting "Stand Out", an LGBTQ+ celebration showcasing dozens of comedians and will include Rosie O'Donnell, Eddie Izzard, Margaret Cho, Sandra Bernhard, Tig Notaro, Wanda Sykes, Solomon Georgio, Sam Jay, River Butcher, Patti Harrison, Matteo Lane, Marsha Warfield, Mae Martin, Judy Gold, Joel Kim Booster, James Adomian, Guy Branum, Gina Yashere, Bob the Drag Queen, Trixie Mattel, Scott Thompson, and Todd Glass.
