MTV's Cult Classic 'Oddville' Reunites at Comedy Village During New York Comedy Festival Alongside Latina Showcase

The New York Comedy Festival brings two landmark comedy events to Comedy Village in Times Square, bridging generations of humor with the long-awaited MTV Oddville Live: The Reunion and the vibrant Latina showcase NYC Stand-Up: Chicas You Should Know. These performances represent significant moments in comedy history and contemporary cultural representation during one of New York's premier comedy events.

For the first time since the late 1990s, the entire Oddville, MTV cast reunites for two exclusive performances on Wednesday, November 13 at 8 PM and 10 PM. The reunion features Rich Brown, David Greene, Melissa Gabriel, Amazing Amy, Suzanne "Underdog" Muldowney, Handfarter Bruce Gaston, Mr. Phil!, The Zambonies!, Mario Bosco, and Frank & David. The live show revives the weird brilliance and irreverent humor that made Oddville a cult phenomenon during MTV's late-night era. PJ Landers, club owner and lifelong comedian, noted that "Oddville was one of the most original and hilarious shows ever on MTV, and nothing like it has been seen since."

Tickets for the Oddville reunion are $28 and available at https://ComedyVillage.com/events. The show's importance lies in its cultural significance as a defining program of 1990s alternative comedy that influenced a generation of comedians and viewers. Adapted from the public-access favorite Beyond Vaudeville, Oddville became known for its oddball guests, underground bands, and spontaneous chaos that captured the spirit of experimental comedy during its era.

Before Oddville takes the stage, Comedy Village spotlights the official New York Comedy Festival showcase "Chicas You Should Know" on Monday, November 11 at 8 PM. Created by Gina Brillon, the powerhouse behind Chismosa Comedy and Women Stand Up NYC, Chicas You Should Know celebrates the bold, brilliant voices of New York's funniest Latinas. Hosted by Paula J. Leon, the lineup features Daniela Mora (Adult Swim), Glorelys Mora (Netflix Is a Joke), Isa Medina (Don't Tell Comedy), Becky Granger (Netflix), and headliner Gina Brillon (HBO, Amazon Prime).

Tickets for Chicas You Should Know are $26 and available now at https://ComedyVillage.com. The show runs from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM at Comedy Village, 352 West 44th Street, Times Square, New York City. This showcase represents the growing recognition and platform for Latina comedians in the mainstream comedy scene, providing important representation and expanding the diversity of voices in comedy festivals.

These dual events at Comedy Village demonstrate the New York Comedy Festival's commitment to honoring comedy history while advancing contemporary diversity in the industry. The Oddville reunion appeals to nostalgia and cultural preservation, while Chicas You Should Know addresses the need for greater representation of Latina voices in comedy. Both shows contribute to Times Square's evolving identity as a hub for diverse live entertainment beyond traditional Broadway offerings.

The timing during the New York Comedy Festival amplifies the impact of both events, placing them within the context of one of the industry's most important annual gatherings. For comedy enthusiasts, these performances offer rare opportunities to witness both historical comedy reunions and emerging diverse talent on the same stage, highlighting the evolution of comedy as both an art form and cultural force in New York City.
