Lady Dynamite has been a long time coming and, it’s funny. Maria Bamford’s new semi-autobiographical Netflix series is well crafted, and about as fun as anything you've ever seen on television. It won't be experienced by as many people as saw Trainwreck this year, and that's a shame, because its not only fun and funny, it's also silly and poignant, and even important.

Summer 2016 has some fantastic comedies coming out all through the season. The Lonely Island have created a hilarious looking mockumentary. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key are debuting their first big feature together. And the most intriguing on the list, Kevin Spacey is playing a cat. This year also has sequels from much loved originals like Project X, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Neighbors. From blockbusters to indie films, this year has some great choices!

Tribeca has had a history of including a variety of comedy films since their inception, when the first Best Narrative award went to the comedy Roger Dodger. The slate has always found a surprisingly strong number of comedies to play alongside the more serious indie dramas. Their midnight movie selections (normally host to shock drama) have also been open to comedies, such as the sports parody Balls Out and especially comedy-horror films such as Fresh Meat and Zombeavers. Along with their usual slate of low-key indie comedies, the festival has played host to special events honoring classic comedies. Just last year the festival hosted the Monty Python reunion with screenings of their classic films (and premiere of their documentary). And even offered public screenings of silent films, such as last year’s screening of Harold Lloyd’s Speedy with live music.
