HE DC COMEDY FESTIVALThe Festival is proud to spotlight the talent
that lives and thrives in the DC metro area and to pay tribute to the
scene that first gave laughs to Dave Chappelle, Martin Lawrence, and
Wanda Sykes. The Festival takes place in several clubs and venues
across the District. This year, the DC Comedy Festival team is excited
to host our last night of shows at The Miracle Theater on 535 8th St

OVERVIEWThe DC Comedy Festival is set to showcase a diverse line-up of
comedians from across the country. From open mics to national
headliners, the Festival is guaranteed to bring the talent and the
laughs. It will also offer an educational workshop for comedians who
will learn how to build their brand and business.
FESTIVAL GOALSWith hopes to make the DC Comedy Festival the biggest
showcase on the East Coast and eventually the country, the Festival
creators aim to make an event that attendees will mark their calendars
for next year.
HOW DID THE IDEA FOR THIS FESTIVAL COME ABOUT?Three comedians from the
DC metro area saw the need to provide a platform for comedians of all
levels, from bright-eyed newcomers to seasoned veterans, to perform
and to network with other comics, bookers, and showrunners. They
decided to create an event that not only highlights local talent but
also gives the public a chance to become a part of a community that
moves every night, bar to bar, mic to mic. With over 200 comedians
coming to the event last year, this year will be one of the funniest
networking comedy festivals this year.

D.C. metro area saw the need to break away from the politics of the
local scene and created a week-long festival to truly showcase the DC
SCENE and not focus on the underground comedy in the city. Providing a
platform for all of the young up and coming comedians as well as
veteran comedians, to come network with other comedy communities,
bookers and showrunners. After taking a look at the opportunities
available, they decided to create a unique event to not highlight
local talent but to also give the public a chance to become a part of
a community that moves every night, bar to bar, mic to mic. With over
200 Comedians coming into the area last year.
This will be one of the Funniest Networking Comedy Festivals this
year.
