The 2026 New York Comedy Festival is proud to highlight **Sagematch**. Come watch the funniest comedians and finest scientists in NYC go head-to-head-to-head-to-head the Caveat way: by creating presentations from audience suggestions and delivering them live on the spot. SageMatch is a powerpoint comedy gauntlet hosted by Ben Taylor (Nerd Nite NYC) that challenges the city's funniest comedians and finest scientists to create and deliver a slide deck on the spot based on topics given by audience. There's Wheels of Fate, Buckets of Truth, tag teams, trash talking, and nonstop opportunities for you, the audience, to throw your worst at Caveat's best. Think WWE meets American Gladiator meets Taskmaster. It's Caveat's first experimental cage-match-style information-communication competition, and you absolutely do not want to miss it. Competitors: **Alex Burr** **Jerzy Gwiazdowski** **Casey Lardner** **Hampton Humber** Tenure Committee: **Paula Croxson** **Josh Nasser** **Lina Zikas** **Amy Muller** Hosted by: **Ben Taylor** Halftime Show by: **Ben Lillie**
