About

The Portland Maine Comedy Festival is not only the largest annual comedy event in New England, but one of the premiere comedy festivals in the entire country. This is our 10th anniversary.

Each year, we feature some of the best up-and-coming standup comics, sketch comedy teams, and improv groups from all across the country alongside regional, touring, and nationally recognized headliners for one incredible weekend of comedy.

The festival features a multitude of shows, open-mics, events for comics, and chances to laugh all over Portland at your favorite bars, breweries, and theaters.

Submissions for this year’s Festival are open and run through May 9th. Follow us on social media for the most up-to-date info.
