Bring the Best Comedy Talent to Audiences: Our festival features top-tier comedians, ensuring audiences experience the highest quality performances possible.

Encourage Contemporary Creativity in Comedy: We embrace and promote the latest trends and creative voices in the comedy world, constantly reflecting the genre’s dynamic nature.

Educate on the Rich History of Comedy: Our festival also seeks to educate audiences about the deep history of comedy, honoring its evolution and impact.

Have Fun and Produce Great Comedy: Above all, we’re committed to creating an enjoyable experience for all—performers and audiences alike—through top-notch comedic theater.
