About Us

The Traverse City Comedy Fest is the nation's liveliest and most entertaining comedy festival. Our philosophy: Crack up! It's good for you! And it is! We've been presenting a huge variety of comedy and comedians for three years. Laughter has always been the best medicine, and man, do we deliver the laughter. On the shores of Lake Michigan, we bring you some of the nation's most well-known standup comedians, performing in great venues, with an infectious enthusiasm from everyone involved in the fest. Sometimes naughty, sometimes squeaky clean, the fest has something for everyone. Is standup your thing? Come see standup heavyweights like Gary Gulman at the City Opera House, plus more nationally touring (TBA) comedians at the Traverse City Comedy Club or the Park Place Hotel. Great comics, great venues!
