Bobby Lee will host Jokes.com Live online and at Carolines for 2010 New York Comedy Festival

The New York Comedy Festival is growing outside of New York City a little more this year with the addition of live online shows, through the partnership between Carolines on Broadway and Comedy Central's Jokes.com.

Jokescomlive Announced today: The Jokes.com Live show, which Bobby Lee will host with Kurt Metzger, Morgan Murphy, Donnell Rawlings, Joe Mande and others, to be broadcast live from Carolines to your Internet on Nov. 3.

See it live in person: Tickets are available for purchase.

See it live online: Coverage will begin at 9:30 p.m. Eastern with backstage and green-room looks, with the show starting onstage at 10 p.m., and comedians communicating with fans online via Twitter and Facebook when they're not onstage.

See it later: The Jokes.com Live show will be sold afterward on iTunes.

‚ÄúWe are excited to be able to bring the first live streaming event from a club that has seen a lot of firsts!‚Äù said Caroline Hirsch, the fest's founder and namesake owner of Carolines. "We wanted to be able to include fans who are not able to make it to New York City for the shows and Jokes.com is a great partner to make this happen.‚Äù
