From the Festival’s MySpace site:

Harlem comedy, has been an evolving tradition from Vaudeville to Def Jam. Some of the loudest and most articulate voices in comedy have come directly from the urban tradition. The Mecca for these voices has been, and always will be, Harlem.

Burt Smooth, George Sarris and Jim Mendrinos are producing it. (Sarris and Mendrinos also co-produce the New York Underground Comedy Festival.
