America's premier comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, will be performing his signature stand-up routine during the 2015 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena. Seinfeld has been hailed for his uncanny ability to joke about the little things in life that relate to audiences everywhere. Seinfeld now sets his sights on performing both nationally and internationally in 2015.

His tour will visit the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena for two performances on August 1 at 7pm & 9:30pm. These shows are on sale Monday, February 9 at 10am. Members of the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum & Center for Comedy will be able to participate in an exclusive pre-sale period beginning Monday, February 2 at 10am.

"Jamestown celebrates the best in comedy, and Jerry Seinfeld is exactly that," said Journey Gunderson, festival producer and executive director of the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy and National Comedy Center.

The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will take place July 30 - August 2, 2015. Tickets and information are available at LucyComedyFest.com & 716.484.0800.

During a Thursday open house, the Lucy Desi Museum & Center for Comedy also announced that as part of the National Comedy Center (NCC) project, a Lucy Ricardo hologram will be unveiled during the 2015 Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. Working in close collaboration with industry leaders Hologram USA and Dream No More Studios of Beverly Hills, the National Comedy Center has developed a hologram of the iconic Vitameatavegamin scene from "I Love Lucy," the first comedy based hologram ever created. Full details on the hologram unveiling will be announced at a later date.

"We are thrilled to be in close collaboration with the National Comedy Center", said David Nussbaum, Vice President and Director of Development for Hologram USA. "The coupling of our technology with the vision of the NCC is a perfect match that will produce unique 'only there' experiences that will allow visitors to 're-live' classic comedy performances as if they had been in the original audience."
