New Orleans, La - Comedians of all shapes, size and talents will be slinging jokes throughout New Orleans for The New Movement's annual Hell Yes Fest Nov. 12-16. The event will bring together a myriad of standup, sketch and improv performers from all over the country at venues like One Eyed Jacks, Siberia, The New Movement, Café Instanbul, Allways Bar, Allways Lounge, Hi-Ho Lounge, and The Shadowbox, with special satellite shows at Howlin' Wolf Den, House of Blues and Lost Love Lounge.

After performing at multiple comedy festivals across the country, head curator and New Movement cofounder Chris Trew decided it was time the festival held its own. This year's talent includes comedians like Giulia Rozzi, Sean O'Connor, Sean Patton, Colt Cabana, and many more.

Earlybird all-fest access passes are on sale now here for $85. Wristbands include admission to every show and priority seating. Single show tickets will be available at a later date.

The New Movement community is a team of creative individuals dedicated to providing a unique approach to comedy that can't be found anywhere else. They hold a variety of improv, standup and sketch comedy shows. With performances and classes in both Austin and New Orleans, TNM has been leading the improv movement in the south since 2009. They also teach sketch comedy, comedy writing, and soon, video classes. The full-time comedy conservatory has several successful festivals under its belt including Hell Yes Fest, Improv Wins, and Megaphone Marathons. While the TNM team is based in the south, it maintains a national presence through their website, tours and festival appearances.
