Get ready for another unforgettable evening of laughter, and irreverent fun as New York Comedy Festival presents an Evening with Jaye McBride & Friends, to benefit the Old Seaport Alliance (OSA), hosted by live event producer and OSA board member Stephen Dima. Guests Meredith Dietz and Rachel McCartney will also be performing, along with a special appearance by Liza Treyger.

Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Old Seaport Alliance, a nonprofit neighborhood association dedicated to honoring the spirit of the Seaport’s rich history while working to ensure its continued growth and resilience.

“This show is a reflection of the New York Comedy Festival’s longstanding commitment to bringing people together through comedy and celebrating some of the brightest talents to emerge in recent years,” said Dima. “At Peck Slip Social, our shows are about more than a night of laughter and a little chaos. They’re about building community, creating meaningful connections, and making space for voices that deserve to be heard. Especially at a time when visibility, inclusion, and a sense of belonging matter so much, there’s something powerful about coming together in support of one another. Jaye McBride performed at our first benefit in April, and it became clear that night that she deserved her own evening during the festival this November. This show is a celebration of the community that welcomed her with open arms…and plenty of laughter.”

“We are a bar for locals, by locals where everyone is welcome,” said Learan Kahanov, co-owner of Peck Slip Social and OSA board member. “My partner Alex Davis and I are long-time residents of the Seaport and Peck Slip Social is a testament to our love for our community and our historic district. Bringing the arts to Peck Slip Social is an integral part of who we are. We don’t want to be just a neighborhood bar/restaurant. We want to be a place for people to gather, socialize, enjoy good food and drinks and be introduced to different experiences in an inviting atmosphere.”

Attendees can expect a dynamic and entertaining night in one of downtown Manhattan’s most vibrant venues, all while contributing to a meaningful cause that supports the cultural and civic vitality of the Seaport.
