The 15th Annual Asheville Comedy Festival

Speeding into its 15th season, Asheville Comedy Festival presents four nights of shows downtown at Wortham Center for the Performing Arts and late night shows at various locations. The festival will showcase its trademark eclectic mix of more than 30 comedians from around the globe (that's whittled down from hundreds of submissions), inclusive of all genders, races, and styles. A full list of the 2023 comics can be found at AshevilleComedyFestival.com, with the lineup to be announced tonight July 6th.

Life is short...Smile while you still have teeth.
Asheville Comedy Festival has grown into one of the nation's most prestigious events in the comedy industry. That's because of the opportunities it creates for comedians. Because of its reputation for featuring top-notch talent, the festival has attracted major TV network executives, casting agents, talent bookers, and club owners. The shows rarely overlap, allowing an equal opportunity for comics' performances to be seen by all attendees. That focus on the talent has led many festival alums such as Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer, Sam Jay and many more to great success, including in roles acting or writing for popular TV series and movies. For attendees, Asheville Comedy Festival is an opportunity to die laughing while watching some of the next big names in comedy.

This year's executive guests scoping talent run the gamut of the entertainment business. From talent bookers, comedy club executives, comedy network executives, television and event development experts, and TV producers to name a few. As a television and OTT producer and development executive I understand the wide breadth of the industry and how having eyeballs from all corners of the business on our promoted talent is vital to everyone's success in this crazy business.
