The Comedy Exposition

The Comedy Exposition of 2015 is an independent comedy festival celebrating the best in local and national standup. Each day of the festival takes place in a different neighborhood, across multiple venues. This neighborhood-focused approach means that you'll be able to walk from show-to-show, making it as easy as possible to see as much comedy as you want.

Each night will feature multiple showcases packed with comics from our submission process--including our favorite local headliners--and surprise drop-ins from our national headliners. A little later in the evening, our main event shows will be stacked with multiple headliners per show, with one doing an extended set.

Our headliners include Baron Vaughn, Adam Cayton-Holland, and Kate Berlant. More comics and the full schedule will be announced soon!
