Stephen Colbert is headlining a NY Comedy Festival show. Get tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In a week where Stephen Colbert has been all over the news for a shocking cancellation, it was also announced he's celebrating another show of his getting the axe. The 'Late Show' host — whose CBS program is now slated to end in May 2026 due to 'financial reasons' — is teaming up with his fellow, former 'Strangers With Candy' cast members Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the cancellation of their subversive, after-school-special skewering 1999-2000 Comedy Central series at New York City's Town Hall on Saturday, Nov. 8. Over its 30-episode, three season and a movie run, Sedaris, Colbert and Dinello's oft-hilarious, boundary-pushing sitcom followed Jerri Blank (Sedaris) a 46-year-old high school freshman who used to be a 'boozer, a user and a loser' and her ironically dramatized, highly-moralized foibles at Flatpoint High. Colbert plays closeted history teacher Chuck Noblet; a few classrooms away, Dinello portrayed his paramour, an art teacher named Geoffrey Jellineck. This one-off reunion is part of the 2025 New York Comedy Festival. Other headliners at the 10-day, five-borough, 200+ comedian event running Nov. 7-16 include stand-ups Louis CK, Hannah Berner, Pete Holmes, Margaret Cho and Chris Fleming along with popular podcasters The Basement Yard among others. Festival founder and owner Caroline Hirsch described this year's crop as 'a dynamic mix of global headliners and rising voices that reflect where comedy is right now and where it's headed. We're proud to continue to bring New York City the very best of the best.'

'This has allowed us to take a different approach to the show,' said Director Robert Richoux.

'In the play, a boxer, a gangster, a rival, a tortured vaudevillian, a woman on the prowl, and a pair of star-crossed lovers enter the Irish Lyon Social Club. Who will leave the speakeasy alive? The jazz plays, illegal liquor flows, and the bodies and suspects start piling up in this tale of crooked deals, jilted lovers, betrayal, and mayhem. Try to pin the suspect with the crime to find out who did the deed in 'I Love You to Death,'' a press release stated.

The show is very funny, the cast is going to be amazing, and we want you to have a great time with us.'
