About DCCF

Overview:
Prepare for a diverse lineup of comedians from all corners of the country at the DC Comedy Festival. From open mics to headlining acts, this event guarantees a night of laughter and exceptional talent. As a bonus, we’ll be offering an educational workshop for aspiring comedians to learn valuable skills in building their brand and business.

Festival Goals:
Our ultimate ambition is to make the DC Comedy Festival the premier showcase on the East Coast, and eventually across the nation. We aim to create an event that attendees will eagerly anticipate, marking their calendars for next year’s festivities.

Origins of the Festival:
Born out of the vision of three local comedians from the DC metro area, the DC Comedy Festival was created to provide a platform for comedians at all levels to perform and network with peers, bookers, and showrunners. Our goal is to highlight local talent while inviting the public to immerse themselves in the thriving comedy community that moves from bar to bar and mic to mic every night. With over 200 comedians participating last year, this edition promises to be one of the funniest and most engaging comedy festivals of the year.

The DC Comedy Festival:
At its core, this festival aims to shine a spotlight on the incredible talent residing and flourishing in the D.C. metro area. It also pays tribute to a culture that birthed the comedic careers of legends like Dave Chappelle, Martin Lawrence, and Stephen Colbert. The festival spans multiple areas of the city, with shows hosted in renowned DC Comedy Clubs and Venues that offer weekly comedy shows throughout the year. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience!
