Netflix has been giving us one hilarious comedy special after another in the last few years, and now they’re ready to get the world’s biggest comedy legends in one place – Netflix is a Joke Fest, taking place in Los Angeles this spring.

This star-studded comedy festival will take place between April 27th and May 3rd, and it’s expected to feature 100 live shows and events, taking place at various venues across L.A.

The list of participants includes the likes of Ali Wong, Amy Schumer, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Jamie Foxx, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Hart, and many more.

Recorded shows will be available on Netflix later this year, and their chief content officer Ted Sarandos said they’re honored to transform Los Angeles into the funniest place on the planet for one week.

“It’s a chance for comedy lovers to come together and see their favorite artists as well as discover new ones, and for us to be able to share the electricity and excitement of the festival in Los Angeles with Netflix members around the world,” said Sarandos in a statement.
